Why not give a tank? I haven’t seen the shadow of a T-34.

Great… no new news on the next Battle Pass, what’s in in it, what it’s content will be, I mean, nothing? I know that on the last update the devs had allegedly fixed the issues they were having and were ready to release the next Battle Pass. And then we get this. It’s already been delayed 4 or 5 times, now we’re making it longer than March 19th, for some reason. With NO news on when it will be released either?

I just mix the two together by using an AT gunner in a low BR format. Use bolt action rifle to snipe people whilst using rocket launchers to detonate lightly armored tanks.

It’s hard to imagine how exciting the prototype of a T-34 at BR2 would be. Of course, the reality isn’t that wonderful.

I mean its 100% still a BR 3 tank, however its a really sad opportunity thats been missed out here, especially when there is clearly a large divide between devs and community atm, could have been a real goodwill gesture to give a good event, I mean at least the decals are nice but idk, feels underwhelming to learn its not a vehicle event.

Alright, sweet little event, happy things are finally happening again.

But, devs, please say anything about an upcoming update, event, just wtf you’re up to in general.
Like is a big update in development or has it been delayed to? It’s a very simple question which sets an expectation. I don’t care if the answer will disappoint me, just disappoint me now and not later. Its basic expectation management.

So plz communicate.

Stil nice event though its cool.

Authentic use guide for conoisseurs:

This one is taken from WT as usual

2nd Guards Tatsinsky Tank Corps :
at first a triangle was used (T-34-76, 1943);
then an arrow with a letter (the first letter of the brigade commander’s surname):
" L " and numbers from 100 - 4 GTBr, " B " and numbers from 200 - 25 GTBr, " N " and numbers from 300 - 26 GTBr (1944-45, T-34-85).

The tactical identification mark of the 2nd GTK was a white arrow with its tip pointing in the direction of the vehicle. This mark was applied in three positions - on both sides and on the rear of the turret. The tactical number of the vehicle (usually three-digit) was located under the arrow. The emblem was sometimes accompanied by a star (options: red, white, outline, in a circle). The letter above the arrow coincided with the first letter of the brigade commander’s surname:
4th Guards Tank Brigade - letter L (Brigade Commander Oleg Aleksandrovich Losik), numbers from 100,
25th Guards Tank Brigade - letter B (Brigade Commander Semyon Mefodievich Bulygin), numbers from 200,
26th Guards Tank Brigade - letter H (Brigade Commander Stepan Kuzmich Nesterov), numbers from 300.

From Steam Community:
"Decal specifics

The decal for the 2nd Guards Tank Corps was a white arrow pointing to the front of the vehicle. It was used on both sides of the turret, facing forwards, and on the rear of the turret as well. The letter above the arrow represented the last name of the division commander (in game, the division represented is the 4th Guards Brigade, so the letter stands for brigade commander Losik Oleg Aleksandrovich). The numbers underneath the arrow represent the vehicle number (usually three digits).

History

The 2nd Guards Tank Corps saw service during World War II on the Eastern Front of Europe. The unit’s most notable moment was in the raid on Tatsinskaya during Operation Little Saturn in World War II.

The 4th Guards Tank Brigade (the one depicted in-game) was famously the first Soviet unit to enter Minsk. For the successful operations during the liberation of the capital of Belarus, the city of Minsk, the corps headquarters, as well as the 4th, 25th, 26th Guards Tank and 4th Guards Motor Rifle Brigades, were awarded the Order of the Red Banner. The 4th Guards Tank Brigade was awarded the honorary title “Minsk.”

Usage in-game

The decal should only be applied to T-34/85 tanks; on to both sides and the rear of the turret. You can choose your own tactical number, but keep in mind that in the 4th Brigade most of the numbers were three digits.


This vehicle’s tactical number is 145.


A destroyed T-34. This vehicles’ number was 144. The faint ‘L’ symbol marking it as part of the 4th Brigade can be seen.


Vehicles belonging to the 4th Brigade. Note the decal on the back of the turrets."

I expect that we will see news about the April´s fools events first, considering that they will probably tease it next week.

Blessed be the report.

I wish they would hold an event and give us some numbers for all countries.

Numbers shouldnt be locked behind events. They should be randomized and applied to every tank automatically along with red star/white star and balkenkreuz. But knowing how greedy the devs are regarding vehicle customization im sure we will have to pay or grind events to make our tanks look even half decent. Otherwise you will have to roll with sand colored unmarked panther in bulge

This is really informative! Do you know anything about the other decal and how it should be applied?

Yes, I hate the KT skin and I’m not going to pay DF a cent to customize tanks, so I always use the tiger e battle pass.
Maybe all numbers should be added to customizations for free?

It was nearly as bad as panther. And that means something xd.

tbf, I think it was the right tank at the right time, most of the issues could be hammered down to it being rushed into service and wartime production cuts. Hence why wartime and post war model are so wildly different.

look at that and the Event is 1. celebrating a historical Event relevant to WW2 AND all the Rewards are themed for said Event.
Well done :ok_hand:

Not cool gaijin, not cool. No reinforcements received, no interesting weapons, not even mentioning the gold orders, or anything COMPARABLE TO DELAYING A MAJOR UPDATE for SO long, this is quite disappointing for those of us who play regularly, I also doubt that anyone would want to become a regular player when the company itself boycotts its own game, killing the hype and the desire to play in a brutal way.
