Here we have two presentation videos with English translation overdubs. The first is “Ammo , Swedish MTs and Frontline” the second is”2018 Recap and Matchmaker” Enjoy.

We now have the usual Russian stat screen cap this time from WoT News. The English overlay by myself. As we can see this will be a tier II Premium and likely a gift tank. Click image for full size.

The first prototype of the armored car was developed in 1932 by engineer Andron and was built in 1934. The second prototype in 1935 on trials showed good results. Due to lack of funds, the project was almost curtailed, but SOMUA offered to continue work on it. The improved prototype was built in 1938 and was tested from 1938 to 1939. Due to good test results the design was adopted but due to delays in the supply of turrets serial production didn’t start.

Third micropatch on the bump for the EU cluster.

The World of Tanks servers will be unavailable on 15.12.2018 from 05:00 – 05:45 CET due to this update.

We have preliminary stats and texture pics for this tier II Armoured Car from the forums.

The Gendron-Somua has a crew of two: A Commander with extra skills and a Driver. Gameplay-wise, this vehicle will be typical of similar light tanks of the tier: rapid, fast-shooting but vulnerable. The differences lay in the handling and driving. It is hard to pin-down the Gendron-Somua, you need to damage more than half of its wheels to bring it to a stop. The vehicle is also armed with a 25-mm rapid-firing autocannon. To sum it up, the Gendron-Somua is a fast vehicle able to quickly take key positions and use its rapid-firing gun. This armoured car’s further fate and its exact specs will depend on test results.
