WoT Top of the Tree: Object 140

This week, our Top of the Tree focuses on one legendary line of vehicles: Soviet medium tanks. We recommend you pick up the X Object 140 —a mean Tier X Soviet monster with incredible mobility and damage per minute.

Fight your enemies in close quarters or use your excellent reload speed to shoot back twice before they’ve even had a chance to reload. Its fantastic mobility allows you to outmanoeuvre most heavy tanks and tank destroyers, and its small profile ensures enemies will only be able to hit your turret when you stick to their sides.

Pit your wits against your foes on the battlefield from August 20 at 07:00 CEST through September 20 at 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) 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 really want to speed things up!

Referral Program 2.0 Updates

Season 5 of Referral Program 2.0 kicks off on August 26 and runs until December. Before the new Season launches, we decided to adjust some of the terms of the current Program to make it more accessible to a wider range of players. There will also be less time required to complete each stage, and you’ll be able to receive cool rewards with less effort. Get the lowdown on the changes below!

Season 5 is Here!

Let’s start by talking about the upcoming Season. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to recruit your friends and earn a bunch of sweet prizes, including two high-performance Premium vehicles! This time, you’ll have a chance to get your hands on:

  1. The  VII T26E3 Eagle 7 , a Tier VII American medium tank (Recruit’s reward)
  2. The  VIII Kanonenjagdpanzer 105 , a Tier VIII German tank destroyer (Commander’s reward)

Just like in previous Seasons, you can choose to be compensated for the value of the tanks in credits instead.

Don’t forget that a Commander can also:

  • “Adopt” a novice who has played fewer than 200 battles
  • Invite friends who last played more than 60 days prior

To join the Referral Program, the Recruit should follow the invitation link sent by the Commander. After that, the Commander will receive a Recruit card in the appropriate window.

Fewer Battles for Commanders

To invite your friends to become Recruits, now you need to have played at least 600 battles instead of 1,000. That way, you can become a member of the Referral Program sooner since you will already have enough game experience to train your Recruits.

WoT: Summer Trade In

Source: EU Portal

It’s time for a summer refresh. Trade-in is back! Until August 25 at 07:00 CEST (UTC+2), you will be able to trade in your old Premium tanks while buying a new one and get shiny Premium tanks at a reduced price.

Also remember that the permanent price reduction of Tier VI-VIII Premium vehicles is now live, making your trade-in more profitable!

Trade-In: Eligibility

The general rule is as follows: you can trade-in any premium tank of Tier VI – VIII when buying a new premium tank available in the tech tree, which is of the same or higher tier as your old vehicle.

It is possible to trade-in only one vehicle at a time. When trading in, half of your old tank’s value in gold will be reduced from the price of the vehicle you’re attempting to buy.

Vehicles that can be traded in

Cheating Clans in Metal Wars

We have received a mail from a reader worth sharing:

„I am a person in ASIA server, during this event some clans violated the rules, two clans worked together and got so many points with each other, and applied rules, fame points section, rule 7:
“match-fixing is prohibited by the regulations, clans and players that violate the rules will lose all their fame points (both clan and PERSONAL) ,and their game account will be banned, however just four players were punished!, and one of the leaders joined another clan and became the top one in the event.
So the rules or the efficiency of the rules have been reduced? Or something needs to be reviewed in ASIA server? The leaders of Ducky were not punished, not to mention other income from cheating behavior.”
