Top of the Tree: 60TP Lewandowskiego

~ Sebastianul ~ 4 Comments

The Polish heavy tank line up to the 60TP Lewandowskiego is a great example of what a parade of heavy tanks should be: sturdy with the right amount of punch. They have their weaknesses, but not when it comes to punching. The 60TP and its Polish fellows are more than happy to trade shots with everyone and will come out victorious thanks to their great survivability. Another point in their favour: the gun depression that allows to hide some of the weaker parts of the otherwise decent armour.

Make sure to try this branch of the Tech Tree yourself from 5 April at 07:00 CEST to 20 April at 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) and use the discounts and missions to reach the top in no time.

WoT 1.9: „Kantemirovets” 3D Style for T-34-85 Pictures

~ Sebastianul ~ 13 Comments

Quite ugly flag, if you ask me.

 

 

This 3D style available on all maps is based on the legendary tank with the number 046, which has traveled a long way from Don to Elbe with the 13th Tank Regiment of the 4th Guards Kantemir Armored Division. The original vehicle – T-34-76 was produced in 1942 at factory No. 112. The word “Kantemirovets” was written on the tank turret. Its two-and-a-half year journey of wild battles took it from the village of Kantemirovka located south of Voronezh through Zhytomyr, Krakow and Dresden, before finally reaching Prague, where its crew remained until the end of the Great Patriotic War.

After the war, the tank participated in parades in Red Square, and then became a memorial exhibit.
