2012 Mystery RevealedWhat to expect in WoT in the near future? A lot of stuff!

We give you the unique opportunity to get hold of World of Tanks releaseplans for 2011-2012. I'm totally sure most of the plans announced will be

accomplished in time thanks to the team of highly-skilled professionals, thatcurrently comprises around 300 people in 3 major offices.With the development center in Minsk, Belarus, Wargaming.net has fullyfunctioning operation office in California, the US, and two forming offices in theEU - in Paris and Berlin.The main focus of the development team is to introduce new game modes, addmore tank models (French are coming soon), new maps (Jungles, anyone?),improve visual effects and the engine itself.The detailed release plans are given below.

New Game Modes

Garage battleplayers can use several tanks (one after another) in one battle (limitedrespawn).

Q12012

Escort (only a few tanks from the team have the ability to capture enemy's base, the

opposite team is to stop potential invaders).

Q1

2012

Historical battle - faction based battles with historically justified restrictions on vehiclesand modules available.

2012

New Tanks

Soviet tanks

The Soviet MTs branch does need some additions and work, yet the Developers Team isconcentrating their brain power on speedier releases of the French TDs and SPGs, the

British and Japanese Tech Trees. They will certainly come back to the Soviet vehicles

once all major tank nations are represented in the game.
