Hello,
As you may know Polish tanks are making their way into the game, WG has shared the first official screenshots and info about it, its a tier IV Medium tank which is most likely to be a Premium.
The development of this medium tank took place in Poland, January 1937 with “Czołg średni w/g proj. B.B.T.Br.Panc.” as project name.
In October. 1937 a variant was proposed by the Technical Research Armored Arms Bureau (BBT Br. Panc.) by Major R. Gundlach.
The project was suspended and only mock ups were created.
Highest quality screenshots, sent by WG itself:

Unless you count Rudy.
Rudy is a T-34-85, since when is that a Polish tank?
lol
see wg-wiki at the description of rudy to anser your question: http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Tank:R117_T34_85_Rudy
Plus, the little tankette with the small 20mm auto-cannon exist.
Interesting, looks like a cross between a T-35 and a Churchill.
An ironed T28?
Still no signs of Italian tech tree :'(
Ikr , darn it WG , but at least they’re giving us chez , polish and Swedish tech trees instead of scrapping the entire idea 😛
I’m just glad they’re not doing a Europe tech tree like they planned.
lol I kind wanted that…
they plan on adding it but for now we will have to stick with pl surely italians would be interesting but they were weak..
Just an observation, I know you’re still working out the new site.
I couldn’t find any normal way to bring up the high quality versions of those pictures which is a shame as that’s one very nice looking tank at 1440p. 🙂
I actually need to change the code of the page which is already being done. However I can do a easy fix. check in 2min.
Really nice change.
Keep up the great work.
If Poland and CZ are getting their tanks in the game, then i want Yugoslavian tanks in WoT …. or RIOT !!! Look what we had: M3A1 and M3A3 and many other tanks http://i.imgur.com/Qhsi4zF.jpg http://i.imgur.com/gLl7EUV.jpg
Erm those are American tanks which were given to Yugoslavia 😉 Not actually Yugoslavian, also the tanks are already in the game 😀
“The only mechanized units were 6 motorized infantry battalions in the 3 cavalry divisions, 6 motorized artillery regiments, two tank battalions equipped with 110 tanks, one of which had Renault FT models of WW 1 origin and the other 54 modern French Renault R35 tanks, plus an independent tank company with 8 Czech SI-D tank destroyers. Some 1,000 trucks for military purposes had been imported from the United States of America in the months just preceding the invasion.”

Which tank is invented by Yugoslavian army?
At first glance I thought it was a Brit tank
Probably they took a lot of inspiration from the Vickers tank. Everyone did that in the 30s.
Ye, looks like T-28 fucked Matilda.
So why exactly does poland get a Tech tree before Italy or Sweden?
I mean i don’t want to be hating on the Polish ( i still wait for a swiss tech tree so well done for poland to get SerB to notice you first ^^)
Well my point is: as far as i know the best known thing milytary wise about poland is the fact that they got roflstomped by germany at the start of the war.
Unless i’m missing something major then please correct me.
You are missing two important non-historical facts: 1) Polish community is either the largest or the second largest in EU 2) Polish vehicles are coming to Armored Warfare
Poland fought Germany and Russia for entire month without preparation, France fought Germany for entire month even after they had time to get prepared. I think Poland came out better in that situation
Yay, another ” Titty-tank “….
Quite the ugly tank
Looks like something coming out from Valkyria Chronicles game…..
WG said that Poland tanks will be premiums only… I think that a lot of Poles will expect a full tech tree now and when they realize the truth it will get ugly,:/…
I actually looked at Dom1n blog and I was right they expect full tech tree 😀 oh god this will be funny 😀
What’s the meaning to have premium without tech tree? Just a waste of a crew?
I like the look of this beast very much
“They are trying to find Polish vehicles as well but there is no way Polands builds an entire branch to tier 10, highest realistic Polish tier is 4;”
So what am I supposed to feel? Will Poland get its entire branch up to tier X or are they just going to add tech tree with the highest tier being IV?
Did you frget about nev tanks: Concept, PL-01?

Real tanks (as in projects and blueprints) up to tier 4 and then soviet copytanks up to tier 10. Simple as that.

Wait was it really true that the polish tree will come before the swedish D:?
Yes dear.
but…..but…how is…wha…bu…….for once i need a hug….
Also i thought the possibility that Poland could not get their own tech tree, as the highest possible tier they could muster was tier 4? it is true that this have caught my interesst to what possible tanks they will add. but im equally miffed about the sudden change. to many feelings ovah ‘ere
Welcome to the new branch of POLISH heavy tanks. Introducing the tier 3 Czołg średni w/g proj. B.B.T.Br.Panc. It has 150mm of front armour + 150mm derp gun. … 😉 ermm…. wg???
The red&white marks on turret are wrong. It’s a symbol of Polish Air Forces (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Air_Force_checkerboard). At some point in history Polish tanks had similiar symbol, but it was rotated by 45 degrees (diamond like on this T-55AM: http://pl.uzbrojenie.wikia.com/wiki/Plik:431_t_55am.jpg). But at pre war times, when this tank was proposed (it was actually concept of 20/25TP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20/25TP) Polish Tanks has symbol of gold chinese dragon (https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plik:God%C5%82o_czo%C5%82g%C3%B3w.png) was used, but mainly as a badge on uniforms – it was rarely painted on tanks itself.
Dude.. you are confusing A LOT of things…
1) During WW2 the symbol used on tanks, was a white, Polish eagle
2) the diagonal red-white checkers were used from 1949 to 1991
3) In 1991 the modern, “straight” checker symbol was adapted
4) the dragon (and it wasn’t Chinese… it was supposed to be the Wawel dragon form the Kraków legend) was used only as tanker specific marking, BUT in WoT they use NATION specific marks, so the checkers, or white eagle should be used, as appropriate for the time period.

So ugly.. Pol-TOG with boobs?? WTF
I just nicknamed it “BoB” but I guess BooB does as well! 😀
I can’t wait to buy this thing , looks Amazing 😀
This tank is more croatian according to the little red cubes in the logo. 😀 Also from what i know brave Poland cavalry attacked German tanks during WWII and failed miserably – so why not put horse and soldier for premium instead of this? 😀 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_at_Krojanty
Did you even read the page that you linked to?
“The incident became notable as reporters visiting the site soon after saw the dead bodies of horses and cavalrymen which led to false reports of Polish cavalry attacking German tanks. Nazi propaganda took advantage of this, suggesting that the Poles attacked intentionally, believing that the Germans still had the dummy tanks the Versailles treaty restrictions had permitted them. The scene of Polish cavalry charging the Panzers with their lances has become a modern-day myth.”
“As late as the 1990s, this myth was still taught in history classes in American high schools and colleges.” – really?
Don’t be mad, that WG puts into game polish tanks before swedish (for example). It’s all about money (Obsidian is going to add it too).
The truth is we ain’t got enough own projects to build whole tree (max tier isn’t 4, but 5/6, there is a project of 25 tons medium tank by inż. Habich, armed with 75mm aa gun). All the talk about the full tree is based on official WG info (i really don’t know how and what are they going to do).
Reminds me of the Medium mk3.
Enemies will PANiC if they see this tank
Hope that they are not going to add them to the Russian tech tree. The early projects have more common with British tanks. Hope that will be bouncy as Matilda. Should have spare driver as this drivers front plate doesn’t look strong.
Cant wait for Tankette, Orlik’s tank 🙂
Do You know that it could be arty in WoT? Did anyone noticed a pipe coming out of chasis near right machinegun turret? It is 81mm mortar, srsly.
For some reason this looks like happens when a matilda and a t28 have a baby :S
[…] First Polish tank spotted: B.B.T.Br.Panc. […]
Why this tank has painted checker of Polish Airforce ?

“The project was suspended and only mock ups were created”. Which basically means WG had to come up with fake stats for it. That in itself is no surprise as there are even less historical tanks in the game. But if they had to resort to this at tier 4… Considering that Poland had some quite advanced designs for light tanks, was occupied in 1939 (which is pretty early in other nations’ tech trees) and used Soviet tanks after the war, one can only wonder how exactly the full tech tree will look like…
A polish tank project I actually didn’t know about. Nice! She looks kinda wierd, sort of like an A1E1 Independent with a cooler turret and a fething bofors 40mm! I will definately try her out. 😀
Then it must be a fake! hehe
