World of Tanks Update 8.5 Unlocks Premium Only features
If there was one negative about World of Tanks, it was the gold only items that premium and paying-members had access to, leaving the f2p fans out of the competition. Today, World of Tanks Update 8.5 goes live in Europe, to be followed with North America tomorrow. Update 8.5 is not like an ordinary WoT update and it doesn't only introduce new tanks.
New Soviet and German tanks are being introduced as Tier X Leopard 1 is seen in the horizon while the Soviet tree sees three new light tanks. Visual revamps continue as Siegfried Line and South Coast as well as the Malinovka maps have their enhanced versions ready.
Buy Premium Consumables Without Gold
But the biggest news is that the premium only features such as the premium consumable items and the ability to create 3 member platoons and companies is becoming a standard feature, pleasing all the f2p fans of the game. If you ever complained about the buy-to-win sides of the game, you don't have a case any more.
