World of Tanks is one of the most popular online games, with millions of players trying their luck every day around the world. It is a multiplayer game featuring the tanks of the previous century.
Based on testing results, we’re applying changes to Joshua Humphreys, Pan American cruisers, Illinois, Colossus, and Ravenna. We also fixed a bug affecting concept test platform, Cumberland.

In the near future, we will begin testing some improvements aimed at solving the occasional issue of ships getting stuck on or near islands.
The changes being tested involve updating the collision model of islands to exactly match their shorelines as visible from above water. This will put a stop to situations in which a ship passing near an island could get stuck in place and lose the ability to properly maneuver, even when there was no apparent visual contact between the ship and the land.
With the changes implemented, ships that come too close to land will “slip” away from it, thereby helping them to continue moving freely. If, however, a ship crashes bow-first into an island, it will still need to use the reverse gear to break free.
The map “Hotspot” has been updated to test these changes. If successful, we will gradually begin implementing the technique to all maps in the game.
Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary.

A few brand-new movies hit theaters each year to honor the finest combatants and military inventions. Submarines, airplanes, and dramatic battles are frequently in the limelight, from Top Gun (1986) to Netflix’s production of All Quiet on the Western Front (2022), but the convoluted history of tanks is rarely explored in Hollywood. With a list of the top tank movies, we’re showcasing the previously produced flicks that most effectively capture the tough and close-knit way of life below the hatch.
Fury (2014)
Fury, a “grim, macho tank drama” written and directed by David Ayer, was released in 2014, and it dealt with the dreadful circumstances near the conclusion of World War II. Don “Wardaddy” Collier, played by Brad Pitt, commands his five-man M4A2E8 Sherman crew on a perilous mission behind enemy lines in April 1945.

When you hear the words body armor, what words come to mind? Hopefully, you’re thinking about words like police officers, safety, and protection. Body armor can save lives. It can protect those in law enforcement and the military. In this article, we will discuss protective body armor and the benefits of body armor.
Protective body armor has been used for centuries. It was originally used to protect soldiers. However, as knife and gun crime around the world increased, body armor has been used by law enforcement and security guards. Sea piracy has actually led to the need for protective vests for crew members.
We are adjusting the parameters of some ships before they begin testing. The changes will be applied to Tashkent ’41 and Almirante Grau. We are also ready to share the initial characteristics of Tashkent ’41.

Tier VII Soviet destroyer Tashkent ’41 has been added to the game for testing.
Soviet destroyer Tashkent ’41, Tier VII
A destroyer leader designed and built at the Odero-Terni-Orlando shipyard in Livorno, Italy, as part of an order placed by the Soviet Navy. She was initially equipped with three 130 mm B13 gun mounts, which historically remained aboard the ship until July 1941.
Despite the differences in the composition of its main battery, Tashkent ’41 shares many similarities with its researchable Tier IX analog: high speed, high HP for the tier, limited maneuverability.
Strictly in terms of gameplay, however, there are marked differences between the two variants of the ship. Tashkent ’41 is primarily a torpedo-centric destroyer thanks to the long range of her nine torpedo tubes and access to the “Torpedo Reload Booster” consumable. The new ship also lacks the “Smoke Generator” and “Repair Party” consumables.
Detailed parameters of the ship are currently in development and will be announced later.
Please note that all information in the development blog is preliminary. Announced adjustments and features may change multiple times during testing.
Based on testing results, we’re applying changes to Pan American cruisers, Nebraska, Dupleix, Ning Hai, Hector, and Brisbane. Small fixes are also being made to some other test ships.
