As announced in Update 1.6.1, the game will feature a unified historical 2D pattern “Jäger” (“Hunter”) for all nations.
The pattern has the usual Summer, Desert and Winter schemes and can be used by any nation tier or type. Like previous camos (Black widow pattern) it is available in-game for 750 gold.
This time we have the completed HD model and textures.
The Turtle name is a WG joke on the Tortoise. The vehicle was the result of a the School of Tank Technology project in 1946, unfortunately the concept was already obsolete. Very little documentation survives save for a single image with the layout and dimensions. According to Ed Francis (historian at Bovington tank museum, responsible for providing a lot of interesting information about British tanks) WG did a good job during the reconstruction of the vehicle, so we can assume that it is faithful to the concept.

For TANKFEST 2019, The Tank Museum was extremely lucky to be able to display the Leopard PRTL courtesy of The Historic Collection of the Royal Netherlands Army, in cooperation with the National Military Museum of the Netherlands.
David Willey explores how the self-propelled anti-aircraft system, based on a Leopard 1 tank, works and operates, alongside some footage of the PRTL in action.
During the first Common Test of Update 1.6.1 you take advantage of the new functionality of multinational vehicles. We’re also adding two new customization sets, containing unique historical looks for your vehicles. Finally, you have the opportunity to try out new Ranked Battles mechanics that will be implemented in the next Season. Hop on board and give us your feedback—your input is crucial as we continue evolving these features!
If you are interested in tanks, you’re probably aware of the unusual history of the fabulous T-34-85 Rudy. In our game, it fights in the ranks of the Soviet Union, but during World War II, this tank was at the disposal of the Polish units fighting in the Red Army. The T-34-85 Rudy was widely known thanks to the TV show “Four Tank-men and a Dog,” and made a significant contribution to Polish culture.
In Update 1.6.1, you can take advantage of the remarkable functionality of multinational vehicles. The first multinational tank will be the legendary T-34-85 Rudy. We’ll credit this tank to all players participating in the testing, so you can try out this new functionality during the Common Test.
The Update 1.6.1 Common Test is approaching. The update features a number of small changes. But there’s plenty of different in-game activities coming soon. And you can take a look at some of them right now on the Common Test.
Greetings!
If you liked my Saumur Panther video you gonna love this! During my visit to Musée des Blindés in Saumur, France I was offered the opportunity to -the first- showcase of their next restoration project, a rare Sherman DD!
Sherman DDs are not tanks you see every day but this vehicle, in particular, is even rarer as it was fabricated by the US, definitely a piece of history worth to preserve!
For now, this is all the information on the restoration I can give you but I will keep you updated as soon more comes!
