On WoT console, tomorrow comes the 4.0 update, with the „War Stories” PvE mode and the special map called Monte Rosa (Icebound) which was reworked a bit. The most modern graphics technologies were used in the making of this map. It also has machinegun nests and flames that increase the immersion.
Also, kudos to them for making minimaps as they should be.
