As part of a Soviet Tech Tree focus, Wargaming have halved the credit cost of five of the most popular, a deal that'll run between 11:30 GMT on November 19 (that's today!) and 11:00 GMT on November 23, 2012.
The last time we met Wargaming.net, the slightly adorable madmen behind World of Tanks, Battleships and Warplanes, we had a chance to chat about their plans to unite the games under one online service. While the plans are still under-development the team are talking of shared XP pools, shared medals, and more. 
Say what you like about Wargaming, say what you like about tanks, write a 500 word opinion piece on cannons for The Guardian if you want, hire a skywriter to express your true feelings about armoured warfare in the clouds if that's what you're into, just say what you like about Wargaming, but they do put together a damn fine trailer. The latest World of Tanks trailer is all about the freshly revealed Chinese tanks, from China.
The latest version of the game introduces new premium vehicles and a British tech tree, meaning Blighty's tanks no longer have to take the field under Russian colours. The Abbey, Dragon’s Ridge, El Halluf, Prokhorovka and Province maps have been updated, while players will now have the chance to buy Gold Ammunition with their credits.Our Spotlight units plug content our journalists have made, that our advertisers want to promote. Sometimes the promotion is paid for, but the content they go to is always independent with no client oversight or approval.
This trailer for the all new British tanks coming to World of Tanks in the 8.1 update ends with a tank — one of our beloved metal buddies — firing its cannon at us, the innocent viewers, thus revealing the World of Tanks logo. It feels like a terrible betrayal. Tanks are supposed to fight one another, not the omnipotent, hovering, harmless player-controlled cameras that inhabit their world. For that reason, I suggest you absorb all of this lovely information about British armour and then avert your eyes before the cheeky tank can take a pop at your face.
Speaking at the Eurogamer Expo, where they were showing of Company of Heroes 2, Relic talked about their experience with the free-to-play Company of Heroes online, and why that business model isn't for them. At least, not right now.
I’m only playing a demonstration level of the sequel to Relic’s World War 2 RTS, so I appreciate that it’s going pretty easy on me. It’ll be generous to me whenever I make a mistake because it has all sorts it wants to show off. Still, it feels all too apt that, every time I screw up and get another of my Soviet squads killed, the game just sends another one forward to replace it. I guess success comes at any price.
Update 7.5, the one with all the tanks in it, especially all the big, scary, tier 10 medium and tank destroyer type tanks, has just gone live on World of Tanks. That is, if you live in Europe. If you’re in North America, it’ll be out on the second of August, which is tomorrow. 
Call it a hunch, but I’m pretty sure that the same kind of people that obsess over tanks, and the modules that you can put in them, with all their fancy names and ever-so-slightly-different model numbers, are going to also be the sort of people that really enjoy getting a detailed breakdown, in stat form, of everything that just happened in the tank-based carnage of a World of Tanks match. Wargaming.net seems to agree, which is why the 8.0 patch is going to bring a completely overhauled after action report.
