World of Tanks innehåller nu tio svenska pansarvagnar

Onlinejätten World of Tanks innehåller nu, sedan uppdateringen 9.17 släpptes under gårdagen, 500 olika tanks. 500! Tio av dessa är svenska maskiner och för att fira detta krönte utvecklarna Wargaming Rocky IV/Expendables-stjärnan Dolph Lundgren till svensk ambassadör samt bjöd Gamereactor till Strängnäs för att kika på en bunt av pansarvagnarna som inkluderats. Den artikeln kommer vid senare tillfälle medan en bunt nya bilder på de svenska åbäkena kommer nedan.

Saxat från gårdagens pressrelease:
"While you may think that you know the tricks of every vehicle in World of Tanks, Update 9.17 is ready to give you a wake up call. Players will get to command two lines of Swedish tanks: the first rolls out a number of tank destroyers; the second boasts a mix of light, medium, and heavy firepower. Swedish tanks are the 9th Nation since Launch of World of Tanks and we have now more than 500 tanks in the game!

Swedish tank destroyers may start off somewhat conventional, but that all changes at higher tiers. The hallmarks of these vehicles are very low profiles—sometimes the best in class—that let them secure unusual, potentially game-winning positions. Throw in decent gun depression and firepower, and you have intimidating snipers on your hands.

However, starting at Tier VIII, with the famed UDES 03 and onto the Strv 103B, two new game modes hit the battlefield: Siege and Travel. Travel is for when you need to put the pedal to the metal, securing your position or making a quick getaway. Siege significantly reduces your speed, but ramps up your ability to dish out damage. Their fast-firing guns, great penetration, and accuracy can turn a battle on its head."
