Wargaming.net Teams up with The Tank Museum at Bovington

Ectar:   When it comes to "community requested tanks" , there needs to be a clear understanding of tanks that are available and tanks that are not.    Type 59 - Never going to be available in the gift shop again.  You can go round and round forever with reasons why it should be available but the answer will always be no. It's been said countless times on the forums and is at the point where we pretty much don't reply to questions about it.  The community by now should know the answer to this. It's never coming back.  The only way to pick up one now is via winning one of the global contests or being very lucky at a major event like Gamescom where something like 3-5 physical codes might be available. MTLS-1G14 - Isn't available on any server and never has been. We are still undecided as to how this tank will feature in the game. It's possible it could be a retail package, it's possible it may never be released. Note if this tank does ever become available it would likely be something global and not regional. M4A2E4 Sherman - Is an EU/NA beta tester gift. If you're not an EU/NA beta tester you won't have one. This will not be made available to regular players at a later date.  - This is beta exclusive. M6A2E1 , A-32, Pz.Kpfw. V/IV - EU pre-order tanks. If you didn't pre order the game when it was released you won't have these tanks and they will not be made available for sale on EU server.  - These are pre order exclusive. Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. J - Event tank - This tank is only made available in limited numbers for major events. It's a bonus for attending the events. It is not something ever to be made commonly available and is intended to be limited, rare and an added incentive/rewards for visitors at major events. - Generally this tank isn't really available anymore and there isn't a lot of codes remaining. Pz.Kpfw. IV Hydraulic - Retail package. - This tank was included in the purchase of a World of Tanks branded mouse. It is not planned to have the tank available outside of that package or to be commonly available. This is an added incentive/bonus for purchasing a branded item. BT-SV - Part of an RU retail package although the code is global. No current plans to have this tank available on the EU server. Certainly not in the premium store as like the MTLS something like that would need to be available globally.   There isn't a lot of tanks that can be sold only in specific regions. RU is an exception to this because players there never got the option to pre-order the game. You still won't see things like the PzIIJ, BTSV, PZ IV Hydro in their store. They have a seperate Beta tank which was the KV-220 which has been made available for purchase on the EU/NA servers.    Other tanks such as the M3 Stuart Lend Lease feature as part of bonus codes.  - bonus codes need to have something unique to make them worth while. Certain tanks are restricted either in access or numbers because they are intended to be rare. They were never intended to be something that anyone could pick up at any time.  

Ectar:   As pointed out by another player all of those tanks feature quite regularly at half price on various weekly offers. When/If roaming comes, you'll never be able to take advantage of another server's bonuses or discounts.  We don't want players server hopping to abuse different offers in different regions.  

Ectar:   The info you posted there is not true. The Type 59 never was for sale at New Year in Russia and we also had massive discounts at new year for premium tanks.  http://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/pc-browser/premium/premium-shop-january3-8/ http://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/pc-browser/46/winter-surprise-calendar/
