YouTuber of the Month

 Highflyer15 and his youtube channel The Riising Sun are a popular fan resource that many players have been using to help improve their gameplay.  You can find in depth match reviews to learn from, along with a “Quicky Tips“ series that focuses on funny events in-game or unique special moments.  Christian is also known by players as being one half of RivetingTV a twitch channel that does English casting of the Russian World of Tanks Pro League. 

Creative: Papercraft Tanks!

During June we have been running a contest encouraging players to create some papercraft tanks!  Paper models, also called card models or papercraft, are models constructed mainly from sheets of heavy paper, paperboard, or card stock. More frequently the printed parts must be cut out. Edges may be scored to aid folding.

Players have put in an amazing amount of work for this contest and it was a very difficult contest to judge; you can find the winning entries below!

In-game contest: Hide and Sneak IX

For this contest, 28 random players get in tier 1 tanks and have to hide/run away from two Wargaming staff who are driving higher tier tanks! This even always has a lot of players looking to take part and each week the list of players looking to join in gets bigger and bigger!  You can see some replays from the player’s point of view in our latest contest here.

Creative: Screenshot contest 

We run a weekly Screenshot Contest which lets players submit an in-game image based on a certain theme. For June we asked players to submit images for Ensk and then the topic “Feeling the Heat”

Here is the top 3 winners for Ensk along with some of our favorites:
