Urban camo in WoT PS4

~ erwin0859

Just like the desert camo can be used on sandy maps, the winter camo on snowy maps, and the summer camo on greeny maps, the urban camo would be used on… well, you guessed it, city maps.

TAP Special #2 : EBR Panhard modèle 51

~ erwin0859

Warning, VERY picture heavy !

Hi again ! I’m back for another article translation from chars-francais.net, today’s about the EBR Panhard modèle 51. For the eventual new readers, these articles are aiming to highlight some vehicles which aren’t covered by WoT (yet), so in other words, vehicles of which not everyone is aware of. 

The 201 model from 1940 couldn’t be mass-produced because of the events (France being occupied by Germany, Germany imposing that all French tank factories would stop production). As a result, after the war, Panhard studied a bigger model, the 212.

The EBR (Engin Blindé de Reconnaissance, armored recon vehicle) saw production in 1951, showing several technical innovations : thanks to its symmetrical design, il could drive independently in both directions and had 2 driver positions (one to the front, and the other to the rear). 4 out of the 8 driving wheels could be raised on roads, allowing a speed higher than 100 km/h (62,1371 MPH).

The EBR was powered by an air-cooled Panhard 12H6000S, 12 cylinders flat and 6 liters. Thanks to its low height of 22 cm (8,66142 inches, 0,721785 ft), the engine was located right under the turret basket. The con of this, however, is that for any mechanical intervention, the turret had to be removed. Another con was the high sound level, not really fitting with the discretion required by recon vehicles.

A night in Paris… a deadly night

~ erwin0859

As many of you surely know, Paris has been, last night, the place of a terrible terrorist attack.

129 killed and about 352 wounded, including 99 wounded in a critical state. Several attacks within 30 minutes, 30 minutes that shocked a whole country as well as many others on this planet.

The event gathered much attention on social networks (such as help to host those who were in the streets, help to find the missing, etc), and countries from all the world wished their condolences to the victims, family members of the victims, as well as their support to France and the French people.

Last time, on Wednesday, January 7th, they attacked already. 10 months later, on Friday, November 13th, they attacked again, and almost did 10 times more victims.

A page from History is surely writing right now. TAP changed its banner in honour of the victims and their family members. May all the killed innocent rest in peace. No matter if they are from France, or from Beirut, Lebanon.

R.I.P.
