diesel_78, on May 08 2012 - 14:37, said: Well, I don't know if I am just unlucky or they are unfulfilled promises.... I had a KV with all researched except the S-51, 100% crew and 44k exp. I now only have a KV-1, 100% crew and 0 exp! Yes! ZERO as in NONE! Nor did I get the "free slot and KV-2". Same thing applies for the KV-3, I WAS ELITE, now it's not and I have no "free slot and T-150". I was thinking, well... If they are giving us this, it would be worth me investing some bucks into the game for some gold. Now I don't really think I will. I am utterly disappointed with all the work I put in to get my KV and KV-3 where they were. I hope this is just an anomally and will be fixed.
Case 2. KV-3 is in the garage at the time of the substitution (update release). All the rules as mentioned in Case 1 apply along with the following ones:KV-3 tier 6 is replaced by the KV-3 tier 7 and keeps its mounted modules: guns, radio, engines, and also gets top turret and top suspension if they have been available for KV-3 tier 6;
Ammunition loaded onto KV-3 goes to the depot;
Consumables (repair kit, aid kit, and etc.) mounted onto KV-3 tier 6 go to KV-3 tier 7;
Equipment mounted onto KV-3 tier 6 is demounted and moved to the depot without any losses or expenses for the player;
Crew members who have gained skills (as per point 9 of Case 1) while in KV-3 tier 6, go to KV-3 tier 7;
Camouflage mounted onto KV-3 tier 6 goes to KV-3 tier 7 and to T-150. The expiration date of the camo on both vehicles (KV-3 and T-150) stays the same as it was for the KV-3 as Tier 6 at the moment when the substitution took place.
Players get one slot for this tank in the garage for free;
Players get a default T-150 tier 6 without any additional modules or consumables, but with 100% trained crew, without special skills or perks.
Case 2. KV is in garage at the moment of the split (update release):
KV tier 5 is substituted with KV-1 as tier 5 heavy tank;
Ammunition moves from KV to the depot;
Consumables mounted onto the KV go to KV-1;
Equipment mounted onto KV is demounted and goes to the depot without any expenses or losses;
If in the KV tree the turret “KV-2” is researched, players get the tier 6 heavy tank KV-2 to their garage without any additional modules and consumables, also one free slot for the tank is added to the garage;
Players get a new full crew for the KV-2 with 100% training;
Camouflage mounted onto KV is moved to KV-1 and to KV-2. The expiration date of the camo on both vehicles (KV-1 and KV-2) stays the same as it was for the KV at the moment when the split took place.
Modules mounted onto KV which do not fit other tanks (suspensions, turrets) are sold at the original purchase price; credits go to player’s account.
Modules from KV that fit other tanks go to the depot.
Players get one free slot for a tank added to their garage.

Ghostvoid, on May 07 2012 - 07:59, said: Was having a quick break from grinding today and had a thought about some new specials for specific tanks. Not sure if Their doing it already but heres my idea.
Why not have some single day specials for specific tanks on their development day/1st manafacturing day/1st time they seen battle or even day they were drawn up (for experimental tanks).
The special/event could just be 3x exp for specific tank, half price and even dbl credits for every battle of the day.
Thanks for reading,
See you on the battlefield.
