Didn't know you play WoT. Don't be a stranger. Aced mine way back and never played it since.

The extra camouflage is nice but I'm disappointed with the 6th anniversary emblem. Instead of giving us a unique 6th anniversary ASIA emblem, Wot Asia thinks it is ok to give us WoT EU 6th anniversary emblem.

Still waiting for this offer here in ASIA.... The final tank was last sold here in 2013.

The Italian Challenge has ended. Just when you think that you can have a nice weekend break after all that madness, comes another new set of missions.
I'm just too fatigued to go through another round of mission challenges....

Another opportunity to get consumables, equipment, boosters and a Tier III Premium Tank.

While we were busy with the Progetto M35 mod 46 Italian Challenge, our counterparts from RU are doing Operation "Trophy". Hunting for VK 168.01 (P) mission. <Link>









The Russians got the best deal. I'd rather purchase this than that cheesy, fictional Mauerbrecher.

There are 2 bicycles on the VK. You can reskin your Mauerbrecher. Not as good as having the real VK 168.01(P) because you can't customize the camo paint on the tank.
Meanwhile, I'll hold till WG ASIA gives us the option to purchase the VK 168.01(P).

There's another nice KV-2 Beutepanzer KV-2 754('r) skin that features a bicycle and nice details on the turret of the KV-2 similar to the VK 168.01(P).

Nice homage to Spaghetti Western movies.

EU Premium Shop (Screenshot 13/04/18)


ASIA Premium Shop (Screenshot 14/04/18)


NA Premium Shop (Screenshot 14/04/18) Approx. MYR 278.21


RU Premium Shop (Screenshot 06/04/18)

Planned to go till Stage VI on the Italian Challenge, but due to time constraints and IRL things that needed my attention I only manage to finish Stage V.

Tier VIII Med. Premium Tank	Gold Value
Progetto M35 mod 46	11000
T-34-3	11000
Primo Victoria	9750
STG	9700
Edelweiss	7700
FV4202	7300

Tier VIII Hvy. Premium Tank	Gold Value
Löwe	12500
WZ-111 Alpine Tiger	12250
VK 168.01 Mauerbrecher	11500
Object 252U Defender	10950
T26E5	9700
KV-5	7500

The Progetto M35 Mod 46 has an ingame value of 11,000 Gold making it one of the most expensive Tier VIII medium premium tank; pricier than some Tier VIII heavy tanks.
The Premium Shop basic cost for this tank including garage slot is 11,300 Gold i.e MYR 199.96



At MYR 148.22 after discount taking consideration of the bundled items; I bought the package.



The most expensive medium tank is the Type 59 G if it were to be sold on WG server using the standard pricing scheme.
It has an ingame value of 155,520 Gold. Together with a garage slot the basic cost is 155,820 Gold; equivalent to a whopping MYR 2725.40 for a pixel tank.
Would you buy one?
Perhaps affordable for Korean and Japanese players...

Just before the Golden Week Missions events have ended; An On Track Mission event has started.
A golden opportunity to get another free premium tank or a free garage slot and some credits? Take a break? You decide.

Type 97 Te-Ke (w/ 50% Crew)

Recently given as a bonus for purchasing 5K Gold in the Gift Shop in March this year too. <Link>
Note: Players who already own this vehicle will receive 300,000 credits instead.

1x Garage Slot
2x Personal Reserves: +25% Credits (Duration: 1 hour)

Since Province map will be coming back on update 1.0.1 tomorrow, I'd share an YT video review of Type 97 Te-Ke in the old Province that was for Tier I to III unlike the new one for Tier IV to X.

Update 1.0.1 Almost Here
I carri armati italiani arriveranno presto.
In less than 2 hours, the servers will be shutdown for update 1.0.1 and we will be getting it on the same date as EU unlike the previous update.
Downtime will be on 3rd May from 03:00 to 09:30 UTC+8.

Available for purchase today via special invitation. Basic price with garage slot is equivalent to 7600 Gold.
Anyone else got this?

Just do your best and hope for a miracle...





I dunno. Centurion Mk. 5/1 RAAC is basically a Centurion Mk. I with extra 44mm frontal hull armor. Perhaps that is why it is sold via invitation to certain players. Check the differences using the in-game compare tool.
Throw in something extra bonus stuff like unique all nation removable historical camouflages, emblems and maybe a bonus Tier II or III premium tank to make it a worthwhile purchase...

Nice documentary about the history of Italian Tanks.

Frontline Mode is now Online!

Schedule

Event Start	May 7, 2018 15:00 UTC+8
Event End	Jun 4, 2018 02:00 UTC+8
Prime Times (Mon-Fri)	For SG Server: 17:00 - 00:00 UTC+8
	For ANZ Server: 15:00 - 22:00 UTC+8
Prime Times (Sat-Sun)	For SG Server: 16:00 - 02:00 UTC+8
	For ANZ Server: 14:00 - 23:00 UTC+8

All Tier VIII tanks and spg can be used in Frontline. Need to equip shells and crew assigned to each tank that you want to play before starting the battle though. Can you describe the problems that are you having?

The FL tanks are temporary rental tanks. That's all. Just click on the tier VIII tank you want to start first and start the battle.

Can't decide whether to get this. So...



I decided to make a decision based on a specific result difference between the 13th and 14th GE.
Please don't tag me and ask, the outcome will not be disclosed.

For those voting: Selamat mengundi.
