You can read very important announcements from the battles and some remarkable notes from the Forum.

If you can double-click the WoT-icon on your computer´s desktop without causing any major accidents you actually have all
the skill you need to be a good arty player.

NA players got a new portal.
Read some not so positive feedbacks,ofcourse some of like it.

Finally your page detected that I'm connecting from Europe. If only you made this page earlier...
Well it looks good. However it feels very lacking in function. I have to guess where stuff is
and go through many sub menus to find what I need. I'm not a fan of the new website.

Also where the hell is everything I used on your website? All I see is the crap I don't use.

Question #1:

If you look at the image  you will easily name the depicted vehicle's "elder brother",
which enherited many features of it, and its "younger brother", which was produced in the amount of 185 vehicles (disregarding the number of military
recovery vehicles built on its basis) and was put into service. Please, tell the names of the "elder" and "younger" brothers of the vehicle demonstrated
on the image.

Thanks for the newsletter, Hoover

Easy question - as I am this nation tanks fan. It's a pity that as winner I can't send a mail

There I go again. I answered not only quickly, but also incorrectly. Damn them deadlines.

(Edit) Oh for pity's sake. Took some more time to think about it and there are actually two correct answers. Presumably only one will be held correct. Kinda like the 'Balkan crisis' from the last newsletter. WG really needs to be more specific on these questions, unless luck of draw is intended.

Wargaming.net, my computer lags a lot as anyone that knows me will know, so didn't intend on sending multiple entries, so count it as spam if it is at least 3 repeated entries, not 2

I'm also wondering what the correct one is. I didn't know the tank so I had to find it first but I also found some different answers. Ah well, I hope I choose the right one and that it was in time

awesome ! i won thanks

Thx for newsletter ;>

Hoover, but i gave correct answer too. I sent my mail on 10 October at 18:25 (Poland time; so it's propably 16:25 UTC). Can you check?
(I say about answer for newsletter#46).

I can send you proof from my e-mail, that it was sent (screenshot). And I can even provide links, which I used, to find correct answer

You have a weird computer with very long lasting lags.
Your first e-mail's date is  Thu, October 6, 2011 9:28 pm,the second came 3 minutes later,at Thu, October 6, 2011 9:31 pm.
Ofcourse the delay occured on the mail server.

I recommend to fix your computer or have your internet connection fixed.
It does not matter how we call it (spam or multiple entries).Wait several minutes after hitting Send button.You'll see a "message sent" text somewhere in your browser.If not try again.

We have more than 100 answers.If I start to look for yours by your nick I have to check almost all of them (have to go 1 by 1).
Pm me your e-mail address and I can search for it.

The answer was posted on the forum at 23:30 UTC on 07 October 2011, so you are about 3 days late.

 Decept1on, on 13 October 2011 - 09:41 PM, said:

You are welcome.

Just to clarify some doubts I have about this week's question- does "elder brother" mean a tank that was built before or after the one shown on the picture. I'm asking this because as far as I know, older=born earlier, while you wrote that older brother inherited some features, so I'm kinda confused o.O

Don't worry about it.Just give us 2 names,don't say wich one older or younger.
Like Pz III and Pz IV or IS-1 and IS-3.

lol at last vid the one with the maus.

turret front 220mm
angled at about 60 degree i would say

still penetrable with 2 out of 3 shots
