       Update 2.5: Winter Destroyers Coming Soon
   DIR By: Slouchyorphan66

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Since it's that festive time of year, we're putting one last
       treat in your stocking before the holidays. Many of you must
       have been good this year because Update 2.5: Winter Destroyers
       features plenty of new goodies as well as a brand new experience
       for first time players!
       
       Six Stalwart Sharpshooters
       If you've ventured high into the tech trees, then you already
       know that the existing British tank destroyer line favors armor
       and firepower over mobility. These bullish TDs are powerhouses
       in most scenarios, but don't offer much flexibility if you're
       out of position. Well, worry no more friend, with these sterling
       additions, adaptability and precision are your watchwords, and
       your enemies won't know what hit them!
       WINTER DESTROYERS!
       6 SLIDES
       Archer (tier V)
       Achilles IC (tier VI)
       Challenger (tier VII)
       
       Charioteer (tier VIII)
       FV4004 Conway (tier IX)
       FV4005 Stage II (tier X)
       Six deadly new tank destroyers arrive in the British arsenal,
       each one bearing monstrous firepower and enough speed to
       relocate to any corner of the map. With the exception of the
       Archer, all of these new vehicles are equipped with turrets,
       giving them unparalleled flexibility to track and destroy moving
       targets!

       Thanks for posting.
       I still have no particular desire to grind this new line of
       British TDs.

       "Himmelsdorf: Added better collision to the castle walls to
       prevent entering the interior"
       WHAT?!?!?!
       I didnt know i could hide IN the castle!!! :palm:
       Did see where there is now a spectator mode added to the
       training room!! That should help with our scrums twitch feeds as
       it would allow someone to be an observer....also, this sounds
       suspiciously like a first step for WoT to be able to have clan
       battles  :dance:  as it would allow a WoT observer in the room
       without having to go kill himself before the battle, which was
       clunky at best.

       Did you guys catch this one???
       ---Host of the Training Room can assign the role of Spectator to
       the players of their choosing
       This will be great for our training room battles and Twitch
       Streaming....

       See, Maddog, I usually just skip over his posts since they are
       usually filled with Drunken Drivel.  I look for substance!

       'cuz it's frickin' raining again  :shit: , but have to make up
       one rod and frame to take to paint, go grocery shopping, then
