Apparently the WG marketing department finally noticed an annoying trend in the gaming industry and tries to get their own slice of cake, offering some long-term premium account holders the chance to buy the EVEN a bit faster than the rest of the rabble. So far it’s only confirmed for the EU server.

Commanders,
Irrespective of whether you are challenging your opponents in rating battles, clinching victories in tournaments, or just fighting in regular battles—all combat is full of competitive spirit, and you need all your personal skills, effective teamwork, and a bit of luck to win.
However, starting from Update 4.6, the influence of Lady Luck on the battle outcome will diminish. In this version, we will decrease the penetration spread for all vehicles from 75–125% to 85–115%, and with the Penetration Boost skill activated, penetration will range from 100 to 115%.
Penetration areas will be highlighted as usual, but the situations when you fail to penetrate the grey area, or, on the contrary, penetrate the red one, will happen much less often. In other words, the outcome of your shot will become far more predictable, and the competitive aspect of the game will advance to a new level.
Apart from this global improvement, there were some minor changes in the characteristics of certain vehicles. You can find all the details below.

Commanders!
February promises to be an exciting month for all of you. Besides the weekend specials, we have prepared a couple of activities with great rewards. Check out the list below to get a glimpse of what we’ve got in store this month!
Specials:
Top of the tree:
1–28 February: In February, the French heavy tank line leading up to the fairly new AMX M4 mle. 54 is highlighted in this edition of the monthly special. Climb up the tree and get to this sturdy and powerful top-tier vehicle thanks to great discounts and bonuses!
Tank Class Spotlights (x3 XP):
Each weekend, there is a different tank class highlighted. Not only can you look forward to cool bonuses, but amazing discounts as well.
3–5 February: Heavy Tanks
10–13 February: Medium Tanks
24–26 February: Tank Destroyers
According to a Polish (oh the irony) CM named Falathi, the Italian tree will appear before the Polish tree. The Poles should appear in this year, unless a real tragedy happens to push them back in time.
Also another tidbit about the first Italian prem, specifically how well it works with the ‘2’ key.
I can confirm that changing the ammo type will reset the ammo, so eg. if you switch from AP to HE, all the loaded AP shells will be removed from the clip and the reload procedure will begin anew with HE shells. You can’t mix shell types in the clip ~Kandly, Community Coordinator
In 9.22 the game will get new camo and inscriptions… catered to a rather narrow group of people.
