World of Tanks: Medium Madness with the M26 Pershing!

This M26 Pershing is quite the dream to drive. Agile and packs a nice cannon to shred through various tanks. Using mobility and it's excellent view range to your advantage, you can get into and out of some sticky situations as well as deal a lot of hurt to the enemy team. Hope you enjoy this outing!

My very own King Tiger in action. Hopefully the recording quality is good enough, my first real recording with my new machine and I'm no good at editing! More videos to follow if this one gets a lot of thumbs up :)

The T-54: Yet another OP Russian Tank?

After the patch we have noticed a few more T-54's, Pershings, GW Panthers and the new tanks filtering through into our fights and having played alongside/gone up against most of them, I have to say that they have added a bit more spice to the game...

Update to my guides

As we are nearing v.0.6.2.4 I have started to update my guides, starting with my Tank Destroyer Guide.

I have played about 1,000 games (or more) since my last real update so hopefully I can bring something extra to the table and hopefully educate the playerbase that little bit more!

Check out my other World of Tanks previews and guides. 

Taking a look at what the new patch notes really mean Pt 3

To wrap up the patch notes review, I am taking a look at the changes to the US tanks. I apologise for the delay in posting these thoughts but I have had a few real life issues to tie up and sort out which has delayed this feature.

Taking a look at what the new patch notes really mean Pt 2

Yesterday I took a look at the v.0.6.2.4 patch notes and pointed out a few points of interest which focused on the change in HE mechanics, certain scout tank changes and some of the specific changes to German tanks.

Today I will be taking a closer look at some of the big additions, the small changes and the changes to Russian tanks and equipment.
