More On: World of Tanks

World of Tanks continues to steamroll its way over the free-to-play gaming community.  With the release of Update 8.9, tankboys and tankgirls everywhere can engage in the brand-new 7v7 team-battle game mode.  

Also, a brand-new branch on the German tank destroyer tech tree has sprouted, there's a new American map known only as "Northwest."  I guess that's something new for Portland and Seattle to fight over.  Finally, two new premium tanks (the Chinese 112 and T-34-3) are available if real money is how you roll.

Along with a new game mode, the latest update enriches the game with an alternative branch of German tank destroyers across tiers 4 through 10, the Chinese 112 and T-34-3 premium tanks, and a brand new battle arena with North American setting, “Northwest.”
