May brings Memorial Day, which honors those who gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. We also salute V-E Day and Mother’s Day and bring new offers, missions, and On Tracks—just to name a few. May also sees the return of the Type 59 and Pz.Kpfw. 38H 735 (f) to the Premium Shop with Founders Bundles (yes, that Type 59)! Also remember to check out our weekly Saturday Showdown challenge and video wrap-up, WoT’s Next. This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the month’s events, so please check back regularly for additional announcements.

April 29, 2021 — Wargaming announces its flagship title, World of Tanks, on Steam. Starting today, regular PC versions of players and Steam users will be able to fight side by side in immersive PvP battles known for the legendary F2P strategic shooter. The Steam version is only available for new accounts, but it has everything the World of Tanks PC offers. (Seb: apparently with an exploit you can play on Steam with your WG account. Just copy your non-Steam WoT folder into the Steam WoT folder. Also the Steam version has an interesting functionality, log in 7 days in a row, play a battle each day and get rewards – WT style.)
“From April 30 through May 3, all Steam players will receive a x4 XP multiplier for the first victory each day in each vehicle,” the devs announce in a Steam blog post. “During the initial stage of the game, this bonus will help you quickly research vehicle branches, train crews, increase crew performance, and improve battle results.”
Players will experience realistic graphics and sounds created to recreate the gritty feel of tank battles, master five different vehicle types to promote balanced and exciting gameplay, and around the world. Skills in various game modes to explore unique maps based on battlefields and cities, and challenge teamwork and individual tactics.
And thanks to Tanker’s enthusiastic fan base, it has won four Golden Joystick Awards and two Guinness World Records for most players logged on to the MMO server at the same time.
“Wargaming’s greatest pride is in creating games that players have loved and enjoyed for over a decade. We have brought people from all over the world, and the strength of our community is unmatched. I think World of Tanks is more than just a game, it’s become a real hobby for millions of players, and it will be in the coming decades, “said Victor Kislyi, CEO of Wargaming. I will. “It’s always great to see our game grow and embrace new players, so we’re proud to welcome the Steam community to the tanker family!”
For the first time, Steam players will be able to master hundreds of vehicles, hone their tanking tactics and skills, and experience the unique battles of World of Tanks.
“We are very pleased to work with Wargaming to welcome World of Tanks to Steam and introduce this amazing game to the Steam community. It’s a great time to jump into a tank and take part in the battle!” Valve’s business Development manager Nathaniel Blue said.

The Vz. 55, the Tier X and top of the tree of the new Czechoslovakian heavy tank, is coming soon to the Supertest.
The key feature of this vehicle is the ability to choose between two 130 mm guns. They are set up identically from the point of view of efficiency, but how they deal damage is different. One gun is standard and fires cyclically, whereas the other has an autoloader with two shells. Both guns use the same shells: standard AP with 260 mm of penetration and a special APCR that penetrates 306 mm. Their damage per shot is the same at 490 HP, as is their accuracy: 0.4 m. The cyclical gun reloads in 12.5 s with an aiming time of 2.8 s. As for the autoloader gun, it fully reloads in 25 s, and the loading time between shells in a magazine is 2.5 s, with an aiming time of 3.1 s. Both guns have decent stabilization.
The other characteristics of the new Tier X are typical of heavy tanks. Good frontal armor that reaches up to 300 mm in the turret, and sloped armor on the hull, allow the tank to withstand the attacks of most enemy vehicles. Durability: 2,100 HP. Mobility is standard for this vehicle type: a top speed of 50 km/h, and a specific power of 15.5 h.p./t. View range: 390 m.
The Vz. 55 lets you choose between two firing modes, allowing you to set up the vehicle as you see fit and comfortable. The autoloader has some similarities to Czechoslovakian medium tanks in terms of a high reload speed and good handling. Other characteristics are on par with similar heavy tanks, which means this tank can efficiently follow the objectives of this vehicle type: to lead an attack or hold a key position.

Have a nice weekend and good luck o7
