World of Tanks news » August Keeps Up the Summer Heat

Summer is heating up, all the way to the high tiers! This month, we shine a spotlight on experienced tankers and strategy-focused Clan play. And there's never been a better reason to celebrate tanks -- because it's Wargaming's 18th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of the first tank to roll into battle! 

Join the ride and hold on tight... this summer is gonna be AWESOME!
