Another joke of a special.  Give us our 50% off gold ammo already.  It's been months since we last had it.

[hankbukowsi]

Well, this isn't that bad.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who uses lots of repair kits, first aid kits, and 100-octane fuel.

Settle down, it's coming.

[dualmaster333]

So the T2 Light tank is not 50% off the purchasing cost, it is only 50% off the cost of gold training for that specific tank?  Or is purchasing the actual tank half price?

the EU gets TD's half off, my eye was on the SU-100...sigh

So after reading this historical account I see that arty has been used to take out tanks.  Well all those arty haters better get their crow eating utensils ready.  

Facts are important, as for the above I can neither confirm or deny BUT

24 April 1918, the small town of Villers-Bretonneux was the site of the world's first battle between two tank forces: three British Mark IVs against three German A7Vs. The Germans took the town, but that night and the next day it was recaptured by 4th and 5th Division of the AIF at a cost of over twelve hundred Australian lives. The town's mayor spoke of the Australian troops on 14 July 1919 when unveiling a memorial in their honour:
"The first inhabitants of Villers-Bretonneux to re-establish themselves in the ruins of what was once a flourishing little town have, by means of donations, shown a desire to thank the valorous Australian Armies, who with the spontaneous enthusiasm and characteristic dash of their race, in a few hours drove out an enemy ten times their number...They offer a memorial tablet, a gift which is but the least expression of their gratitude, compared with the brilliant feat which was accomplished by the sons of Australia...Soldiers of Australia, whose brothers lie here in French soil, be assured that your memory will always be kept alive, and that the burial places of your dead will always be respected and cared for..."

The people of Villers-Bretonneux continue to express gratitude to Australia to this day. The Australian War Memorial in France is located just outside Villers-Bretonneux and in front of it lie the graves of over 770 Australian soldiers, as well as those of other British Empire soldiers involved in the campaign. The school in Villers-Bretonneux was rebuilt using donations from school children of Victoria (many of whom had relatives perish in the town's liberation), and above every blackboard is the inscription "N'oublions jamais l'Australie" (Let us never forget Australia).[1][2] The annual ANZAC Day ceremony is held at this village on Anzac Day, 25 April, each year. Traditionally, Australian commemorations have focussed on Gallipoli. However, the 2008 ANZAC Day commemoration focussed on the Western Front, and a special dawn service marking the 90th anniversary of the battle of 24/25 April 1918 was held on Anzac Day itself at Villers-Bretonneux - Courtesy of Wiki

British Commonwealth troops were involved but the route of the German Army was carried out by the Australians and is celebtrated in Australia as Anzac Day on the 25th April. Facts are important, further details can be found at the Australian National War Memorial

And I was hoping with the battle name we'd be seeing A7Vs and Mark IVs for sale.

I'd buy them in a heartbeat.  I'm so looking forward to the Mk VIII International going live (it's a Premium in the proposed USA tree).

For now, I'll happily drop 1M credits--or more--on consumables this weekend.

Still with the huge disparity between NA and EU specials? I thought that was supposed to be stopping...

And when did they say they would be stopping this?
They will probably stop it when the NA server gets as big as the EU one...until then they will take the money from the few of us here and  give out table scraps.
They keep this sort of stuff up and summer might be kind of rough for WoT on the NA server...this place might start looking like a ghost town.

[0003]

Tanks are meh (except the T2LT, if you don't have one, give it a try ), but I'll fill my depot with the consumables.

[Herr_Klug]

50% off credit consumables? Yes please! I'll probably drop a 1.5 million credits alone for fire extinguishers for my German tanks ...

[TIGER_I]

considering we just got out of a big big special... i wasnt expecting something good right after so im fine with this   ... hopefully i wont keep going like this

[Strilight]

Thanks for the discount on the PzIV. Been too lazy to grind for it.

• Standard: B1, BDR G1B, PzKpfw 38 nA, PzKpfw IV....

Does anybody really give a flip about these tanks?

Seriously, it's a pathetic special

I've already got the B1 and the Cow Patty in my garage, and enjoy playing both of them. So far I have found a German TANK I like, although the Hetzer, Stug and Hummel are fun to play

[Houndoom57]

Time to stock up on large amounts of Repair its and Gasoline. Oh boy I'll be covered for the next 200 battles. Thanks WG!

[OscarZulu]

No XP bonus?  There's usually an XP bonus.  What's up with that?  

[Greneral_Maow]

WAit,
you mean to tell me in the first tank battle ever a tank was killed by artillery?
Doesn't sound like the world of tanks I know and love.

It's like when the government offers tax credits for buying an electric car or putting up solar panels; the government thinks not enough people are doing this stuff, so they try to coax you into doing it.  

Wargaming thinks there are not enough of these tanks driving around, and so they are providing incentives to buy them.

WG seriously needed to pay me to buy these tanks. like give 100% crew for free.

[Jodo42]

Sweet. Different is good. Glad to see not too many premium only benefits.
Now I can have a legit reason to free XP past the B1 to the BDR.
