Because Facebook has certain limitations when it comes to contests :)

Its nice that Wargaming is so involved with its community, unlike other developers and companies.

Just wanted to chime in and say that the fording values I'm researching for the T-34-85 1945 model are different than what's given in post-war variants.

Yeah... I think there's a metric conversion error in there.

1.32 metres = 4 feet 4 inches = 52 inches.  12 inches to a foot, remember.

You'll see the Gold appear in your account.

Question 5: Huh, Wikipedia lied to me! D: How could you, Wikipedia.

Submarine's Photo Submarine Aug 19 2012

Just wanted to point out that Wikipedia gives different information:

Quote

A year later, on 17 January 1944, Mariya fought in another night attack that would be her last. The attack happened near the town of Fastov in Vitebsk. During the battle, Mariya drove her T-34 about the German defences. She destroyed resistance in trenches and machine-gun nests. She also destroyed a German self-propelled gun. Her success didn't last long however, her tank was hit by a German anti-tank shell, again in the tracks. Her tank stalled. Mariya immediately got out of the tank and began to repair the track, amid fierce small arms and artillery fire. She ignored orders to remain in the tank. She managed to repair the track, but she was hit in the head by shrapnel and was knocked out. Her T-34 tank was hit by shell-fire shortly after, killing the entire crew. After the battle Oktyabrskaya was transported to a Soviet military field hospital where she remained in a coma for two months, before finally dying on 15 March. The following August, Oktyabrskaya was posthumously awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union award in recognition for her bravery at Fastov.

Not saying that Wikipedia is infallible, but I'm off to find another source.
