The updateyist update ever has gone live

More On: World of Tanks
Back in August, Wargaming.net announced that World of Tanks Update 8.0 would improve the physics and graphics of the free-to-play game for free.  I thought that was pretty cool of them.  It's getting tougher and tougher to find developers that will just make their game better at no cost to you.

Well today, Update 8.0 went live and with it all new physics and all new lighting (that's what will make the game look better).  But that's not all it adds.  You'll also get a better-optimized user interface, adaptive camouflage, and new mini-map functionality.  Furthermore, you can now choose the mode of combat before entering battle and transfer free experience into crew experience.  

You can get full details after the jump.  

If you haven't yet signed up for World of Tanks (and why not, it's free-to-play) you can do so right here if you live in Europe or here if you live in the United States.

Update 8.0 Introduces Enhanced Physics and Lighting

26th September, 2012 — Wargaming is proud to announce that Update 8.0 for its free-to-play action MMO World of Tanks goes live on September 26 for North America and on September 27 for Europe. The most important upgrade since the game's release in April 2011 brings major overhauls to the game's in-game physics engine, bringing realistic tank behavior and numerous tactical opportunities for the players.

Along with the improvement, Update 8.0 adds a newly optimized user interface, enhanced rendering system for more lifelike and realistic visuals, as well as adaptive camouflage and new mini-map functions. Players can also now choose the combat mode type before entering the battle and transfer free experience into crew experience.

In addition, the USSR tech tree has been expanded with four new tank destroyers, and the first premium British machine, the Matilda Black Prince, rolled into the in-game shop for purchase.
