Greetings Tankers! We have another episode of World of Tanks Best Replays, and this will surely get you on the edge of your seats! Let's get straight into it 😎

The gifts are available for both Premium and Regular accounts. However daily gifts are not available for accounts with zero battles. Rewards will be reset daily at midnight (UTC +8)
Meet the New Battle Pass Reward Vehicles! The 2024 Battle Pass Seasons bring two formidable annual rewards: brand-new Tier IX vehicles! Meet the versatile TT-130M, a Czechoslovakian heavy tank, and the sturdy TS-60, an American tank destroyer! The ТТ-130M will become available after the spring Battle Pass Season begins, while the TS-60 will serve as the leading annual reward, alongside the Cobra and the KPz 3 Projekt 07 HK. You can gather enough Tokens to exchange for the unique TS-60 starting from the summer Battle Pass Season.
Polish Tank Destroyers Let's welcome the new Polish Tank Destroyers to the game! These new vehicles feature Deep-Rifled Guns that enable them to fire shells at very high velocities. A key aspect of this mechanic is the Star Tray APCR Shells, which are most effective when shooting at targets within 50 meters, but gradually lose damage potential over longer distances.
Although these Polish tank destroyers are nothing more than fake fictitious tanks concocted by WG for the purpose of making a profit; The deep rifled gun actually existed and was prototyped and tested by the Russians in the late 1950's.
Background and Research: In 1958, alongside other research projects, the Soviet VNII-100 (Research Institute No. 100) collaborated with GS OKB-43 (headed by I.N. Kletskikh) to explore the possibility of achieving an initial projectile velocity of 2000 m/s. Their goal was to create a tank gun with a deep-rifled bore, guided by a star-shaped tray within the barrel. This innovative design aimed to increase the projectile’s speed by enhancing the interaction with powder gases. The gun was designated GN-85/175 and was intended for an 85-mm projectile of normal weight.
GN-85/175 Design: The GN-85/175 featured a unique star-shaped (four fields) bore cross-section with a caliber of 85/175 mm. Unlike conventional guns, it lacked recoil devices. Instead, it was rigidly mounted on axles within the turret of the Object 279 heavy tank. The turret itself participated in the recoil process, thanks to an elastic reinforcement system. This system absorbed energy in all directions, making the turret installation resistant to blast waves. The barrel was connected to the breech and cradle using threaded connections. The gun’s design allowed for increased free volumes within the fighting compartment.
Performance and Challenges: The ballistic calculations indicated that achieving an initial speed of 2000 m/s was feasible at a pressure of 6000 kgf/cm². However, this experimental gun faced several challenges, including the absence of traditional recoil mechanisms. The GN-85/175’s unconventional design required armor modifications to the turret’s frontal part and an increased firing line height.
Legacy: While the GN-85/175 didn’t become a standard-issue weapon, its existence exemplifies the Soviet Union’s relentless pursuit of innovation during the Cold War. The deep-rifled concept pushed the boundaries of what was possible, even if practical implementation remained elusive. In summary, the GN-85/175 was a bold experiment—a star-shaped trail in the annals of tank gun development.
For those who appreciate historical oddities, this deep-rifled gun remains a testament to human ingenuity and the quest for ever-higher velocities.

It's been a while since the last update, getting older, tired and been busy to keep up with everything these days, meant to post this earlier but alas... less than 14 hours till this event expires. As for price comparison, I think it is slightly cheaper with more decals being offered than the initial mid bundle debut of GuP Pz.IV Ankou in April 27, 2021. <Post #2727> Having said that, there are plenty of games out there available on Steam, GOG and Epic Game Store that can be bought for less than these pixel tanks. Only recommended for dedicated WoT players.

D-Day: 80th Anniversary—Command Center We are commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings! Don’t miss a brand-new PvE mode, a themed Battle Pass, a new Frontline episode, two historical live streams, a month-long D-Day Token Store, and more.
How was D-Day from the perspective of ordinary German citizens? Unlike today, their only source of information was from the radio, newspaper and newsreels controlled by Joseph Goebbels, Reichsminister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. Doubt that many knew the war situation that turned in favor of the Allied Forces until they reached the German Border. The German Newsweek (Die Deutsche Wochenschau) was the unified newsreel of Germany from 1940-1945. The concept of a weekly newsreel was much older, dating back to WWI, and in the 1930s, there were several different weekly newsreels in Germany. With the outbreak of WWII, these were unified and from June 1940 shown under the title of "The German Newsweek". It was one of the most important aspects of German propaganda.
Each week, over 2000 copies were sent to theaters and movie houses throughout Germany and shown to the general public, as private TV ownership was extremely rare during WWII. Over 700 episodes were produced, and many of the historical WWII footage we nowadays have comes from the Wochenschau.
German Newsweek No. 718- 7 June 1944
This is issue No. 718 from June 7th, 1944. Despite the Allied landings in Normandy happening the day before, The German Newsweek, like all newsreels back then, had a delay of at least a few days, so it is not featured in this episode.
Instead, this issue shows footage from German universities and student unions, footage of a German equestrian in Paris and a snake dance in Berlin, a Nazi rally in Czech, and antisemitic propaganda scenes, showing Jews in Moscow and New York, insulting them as thieves and fencers. It also shows footage of the cathedral of Ruen in France, damaged by an American airraid, awarding of Knights Cross and building of bunkers on the Eastern Front, combat footage from Italy, and footage from German fighter planes engaging Allied bombers.
German Newsweek No. 719 - 14 June 1944
This is episode No. 719 from June 14th, 1944. It was the Newsweek episode released after the Allied landings in Normandy (D-Day), and therefore shows only footage from the Allied landings, the airborne operations and fighting in Northern France.
Interview with Michael Wittmann - June 1944
Michael Wittmann was one of the most famous German tank commanders of the Second World War. With 138 tank kills, he was the 5th most succesfull German tank ace. He was also excessively featured in German Propaganda, shown in Newsreels and featured in radio broadcasts like this one, which was recorded shortly after the Battle of Villers-Bocage on 13 June 1944, where he destroyed 14 tanks, 15 personnel carriers and two anti-tank guns within 15 minutes, while being alone with his Tiger tank.
German Newsweek No. 720- 21 June 1944
This is issue No. 720 from June 21st, 1944. It shows footage from the final of the 1944 German Football Championship between Dresden and Hamburg, a speech by (Vichy) French minister Henriot, a lengthy section recounting how Sergeant Apitz got his Knights Cross, footage from soldiers relaxing behind the frontlines in the east, and combat footage from Italy and the Normandy invasion front, including the awarding of the Knights Cross to two Navy officers for their combat in Normandy, and footage of how allegedly American planes deliberately bomb French cities, among other scenes.

With Battle Pass Season XIV we are commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Running from June 5 to September 4, this Season takes you through the pivotal events of June 6, 1944, when Allied forces stormed the sandy beaches of Normandy. Dive into the heroic tale of D-Day and earn great rewards, including three brand-new Tier VI Premium tanks with Normandy-inspired 3D styles.
New Reward Tier VI Vehicle: Churchill Crocodile
World of Tanks' Season XIV: D-Day Battle Pass is off to a strong start with this new exciting reward tank, the Churchill Crocodile.
Come join Richard "The Challenger" Cutland as he dives into what makes this behemoth a fearsome contender.
Make sure to pick this new Tier VI premium titan with its Normandy-inspired 3D style when you play through the battle pass!
The Churchill Crocodile, one of the three Tier VI Premium reward vehicles of Battle Pass Season XIV, is a formidable British heavy with excellent survivability.
An ample HP pool and an average of 150 mm of effective armor at the front mean this Croc can face same or lower-tier opponents in the open. Side-scraping is no problem thanks to 95 mm side armor. A relatively low top speed of 30 km/h is a trade-off for good protection, but the Crocodile sure can bite: its 75 mm gun reloads very fast and gives it a good DPM. Just mind the sub-par gun depression!
The historical Churchill Crocodiles that participated in the D-Day landings had a signature weapon in addition to the main gun and the machine gun: a powerful flamethrower that proved very effective against infantry and helped break through the coastal defense lines.
New Reward Tier VI Vehicle: M4A3(76)W Sherman
Let’s take a look at another reward vehicle of the Battle Pass trio — M4A3(76)W Sherman! This Tier VI Premium American medium is a mobile Sherman and has a 76 mm gun with good handling parameters making it a good player on the battlefield.
While you will find some of the strengths and weaknesses typical of a member of the Sherman family, this Sherman has some unique aspects. It is equipped with a dozer blade and is prepared to wage war away from supply lines, carrying everything necessary for field repairs. How do you rate it on a scale from zero to ten sandbags?
The M4A3(76)W Sherman is a Tier VI Premium American medium tank. It‘s one of the three reward vehicles of Battle Pass Season XIV, and also a typical Sherman with the standard set of these armored vehicles' "family" strengths and weaknesses.
The M4A3(76)W is mobile and thus able to change map directions and flank enemies with ease. (The latter is important as armor penetration values aren’t stellar and engaging enemies head-on is not the most productive approach.) Its 76 mm gun has good handling parameters, a maximum depression angle of –10°, and a base DPM of 2,000 points. Terrain-based play is advisable as you should hide the tank’s bulky hull and relatively weak sides from the enemies.
The in-game M4A3(76)W Sherman is a unit that survived the beaches of Normandy and has experienced some modifications since. It is equipped with a dozer blade and is prepared to wage war away from supply lines, carrying everything necessary for field repairs. Sandbags on the front of the hull are the crew's attempt at improving their vehicle's protection.
Grab the Normandy-themed "Way to Victory" mission active until September 1!
New Reward Tier VI Vehicle: Char de transition
This heavy Frenchie is the last of the Battle Pass reward tanks. Char de transition is a Tier VI Premium whose pride lies in the fact, that it was the first French tank produced after the country had been liberated in 1944.
Experience its 90 mm gun in hull-down gameplay and check that cool exterior inspired by armored vehicles of the 2nd Free French division that landed in France in July 1944.
Which one of the new reward vehicles is your favorite?
The Char de transition is a Tier VI Premium French heavy and is part of the trio of Battle Pass Season XIV reward tanks. The "transitional" designation reflects its status as the first French tank produced after the country had been liberated in 1944.
The strongest argument the Char de transition brings to the battlefield is its 90 mm gun. Both the standard AP and the special APCR rounds have very good armor penetration (212 and 259 mm respectively), with the latter able to pierce Tier VIII enemies from the front. At the same time, the protection of the Char de transition is not stellar, though the tank is able to hold its own against same-tier opponents. Don't bother trying to angle the hull or sidescrape. Instead, use the vehicle's adequate mobility to reach hull-down positions where it will feel at home with its maximum gun depression of 10°.
The exterior of the in-game Char de transition is inspired by armored vehicles of the 2nd Free French armored division that landed in France in July 1944. The detachment, under the command of General Leclerc, took part in liberating Paris on August 25, 1944, marking the end of the Battle of Normandy.
Grab the Normandy-themed "Freedom Is Not Free" mission active until September 1!
Completing the mission under 16 minutes in Rigorous mode is IMO the toughest PvE challenges ever even with hints and tips from Youtube videos.
