WoT EU & NA – Bonds: The Grand Hunt

Source: WoT Portals

Gentlemen, start your engines: the chase is about to begin. As the game is steadily approaching Update 9.22, a new event, The Grand Hunt, is ready to kickoff, granting an opportunity for every tanker to earn a ton of Bonds. Given that 9.22 will mainly be a content update, this is a great chance to fine-tune both newly explored and good-ol’ machines with Directives.

With simple combat missions, the event will become an extra way to earn a rare currency and be fully armed for 9.22. Here’s how the event will work.

Stage I: Generating the prize pool

The first stage of The Grand Hunt starts on 19 January and will last three days. This is where tankers should be particularly active, as it’s going to be a decisive period to define how many Bonds you’ll be able to put in your wallet.

By the end Stage I, we’ll total all the earned Bonds and increase this number significantly. This very number will form a total prize pool, which every player will eventually fight for. We want to keep full transparency on the progress during this stage, so we’ll put a special counter on the home page that will refresh every hour. This will help you easily trace everyone’s combined efforts.

Forge a path of destruction with the legendary battleship USS North Carolina, outwit foes with the USS Iowa, take the helm of an Imperial Japanese Navy Kongo class battlecruiser and lead your team to victory—anywhere, anytime—on the bus, hanging out at home, or trapped in another boring meeting.

WoT EU Premium Shop: Swedish Siege – The Strv S1 Hydraulic Tank Destroyer

The Strv S1 was the first Premium tank destroyer with hydraulics and it’s is highly mobile when in “Travel” mode, plus it has a high reverse speed. Find a decent spot to await your unfortunate prey, unleash rounds with 288mm penetration, and quickly sneak away. Master Siege mode: it’s the only way your cannon will be efficient, as any shots fired in Travel mode rarely ever hit their target. Available in four bundles on sale in the Premium Shop.

Some notes on Operation Sea Lion

To finish our Operation Sea Lion Theme, our friends over at Military History Visualised have allowed us to show their (improved on the original version) video explaining just why the invasion of the UK was just a pipe dream for Germany and a paper tiger for the UK.

WG Employee: Micropatches won’t break mods as often

A Wargaming employee has recently said this in WoT RU Forums:

Translation:

I have good news: we changed something in the pipelines of preparing micro-patches, and now (I hope) we will start new folders less often, because micro-patches as a whole affect mods less. From time to time, we still have to do this, but at least not as often as it was in 9.20.1.
