Top of the Tree: STB-1

Source: EU Portal

Let’s welcome the new year with a Top of the Tree special. The first of 2021 will take you along a line of versatile Japanese medium tanks all the way to the unique X STB-1 .

It is the first Japanese medium tank with a hydropneumatic system which greatly improves the gun elevation and depression angles. This advanced technology paired with solid turret armor means this medium tank is most comfortable in hull-down positions. Hide behind a ridge and wait to shower an unsuspecting victim in a typhoon of shells. The fast-firing 105 mm gun might not have the biggest punch, but it is easily among the top contenders for the highest damage per minute of all Tier X vehicles. Use the quick aim time to rip opponents apart and avoid trading shots unless you are sure to come out on top.

Make sure to keep your weak spots hidden from January 5 at 06:00 CET through February 5 at 06:00 CET (UTC+1) and take advantage of great discounts and missions all the way to the top. Don’t forget that you can also purchase an extra boost if you want to speed things up!

Available from January 5 at 06:00 CET through February 5 at 06:00 CET (UTC+1)

For a month, you’ll have something to fight for every day! This includes x5 XP per vehicle every day, Crew XP bonuses, and other significant rewards to help you reach Tier X. You can find more information about the missions below:

World of Tanks – Romanian Tech Tree 2021 Proposal – Part 1: Tank Destroyer line – by davidblader

Part 2 https://thearmoredpatrol.com/2021/01/12/romanian-tech-tree-2/

Hello, everyone!

I am davidblader from the EU server and I want to share with you my newest proposal of a Romanian tech tree for World of Tanks. Multiple community members have shown proposals for such a tech tree over the last years, but here is my newest proposal, which, in my opinion, is the best we can make of the currently available material on Romanian tanks:

Tech tree image I made. Click here for full quality.

Why a Romanian tech tree?

There are multiple reasons why I think that a Romanian tree would be a great addition to the game:

First of all, it would contain some of the most unique vehicles in the game, both in terms of playstyle and design. There are unique high tiers as well as mid-tiers, the more unique branch being the TDs. Especially interesting are the two tier 10s. The tree will also contain many so-called ’’meme tanks’’ which the community will surely find very fun. Therefore, the Romanian tech tree will be attractive for the playerbase.

Secondly, Romania has a big historical contribution to the Second World War, some historians like Mark Axworthy and Dennis Deletant considering it Germany’s most important ally, or at least as important as Italy. And while I’m aware that World of Tanks isn’t supposed to be a historical World War 2 simulator, that’s the era where most of the game’s tanks come from.

Also, there is an important Romanian community in World of Tanks. This, along with the uniqueness of the vehicles, would mean that adding this tech tree would not only make a big part of the community happy, but also benefit Wargaming.

Historical accuracy

The tech tree is historical for World of Tanks standards, since the big majority of its vehicles were either produced or at least proposed. Out of the 14 tech tree vehicles, only one (the tier 5 MT) is partially (!) unhistorical, since it’s not exactly known what it would have looked like, so it is reconstructed based on historical possibilities. Its historical accuracy is higher than the Italian Progetto 46, which didn’t exist in blueprints, but is based on a general’s description of what the tank should look like, which means it does have some history behind it. There aren’t any made up tanks, like you’d find in some (or rather, in most) tech trees currently in the game.

Happy New Year! (New TAP Hosting Announcement)

Thank you for being here the whole of 2020. May the next year bring us all joy, health, wisdom and peace of mind.

I would like to announce that the site will undergo maintenance for a while starting January 1, so do not be scared if entering it won’t work; it is only temporary – check it again later. I’m changing the host to a better one (and for the ones of you going down the path of self-hosting, NEVER use Bluehost; document yourselves first). Will change the hosting to Cloudey. I’m doing this for 2 reasons:

-500 internal server error when there is too much traffic;
-TAP randomly going down these past 2 months, for several hours, those hours being peak hours.

The main goal here is making sure the site works smoothly, especially when the next Black Market arrives. See you all in the next year, with hopefully articles every day.

PS: also installed a different dark mode plugin, please tell if it works well or if I should revert back to the previous one.
