Nice!!! And Hellcat... Hell yeah!!!

I love the official historical mode. They attempt to do the same thing with the special promotions they have. Good idea to keep the classic tanks like T-34, Sherman, Tiger, etc. around to plunder the bounty.

There is a group of people on the WOT forum that do weekly historical battles. They are open to everyone. You just need to reserve a spot when battle is listed. Down side is they hold them in the training rooms. Training room battles don't earn XP but you don't have to pay repairs either. But you do have to pay for expended ammo & consumables.

"300 professionals of the development team work on the new gameplay modes"

They have 300 people under hire working on that game? I find it hard to fathom they would need 300 people for a tank MMO. I'm even more surprised they make enough money to support such a large staff.

I dunno about the staff size, but it's hard to imagine this game not making money
