World of Tanks
While World of Tanks rolled out some new Soviet tanks last week, Wargaming has announced that Japan will soon join in on the fun as the game's seventh national line of war machines for the game. When released the Japanese line will initially have two branches in its tech tree with nine medium and five light machines that include machines such as the Chi-Ri prototype, the light Type 95 Ha-Go, the medium Chi-Ha tanks, and more.
Wargaming has also announced that World of Tanks has been nominated for Best Online Game at the 31st annual Golden Joystick Awards, which awards the best computer and video games of the year. As popular as World of Tanks is and as big as it's getting, I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the front runners for the award. However, it has some tough competition going up against games like Rift, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, Disney Infinity, and Sim City...okay, maybe not the last one, but you get the point.

Japanese Armored Vehicles to Enter Combat
Wargaming announces new national line for World of Tanks
September 19, 2013 — Wargaming, the leading free-to-play MMO developer and publisher, today announced that its highly acclaimed action game, World of Tanks, will soon be joined by war machines from Japan.
“The introduction of Japanese tanks allows us to explore the design and innovation of a number of legendary armored vehicles and give players the chance to experience their technological evolution throughout the mid-20th century,” said World of Tanks Producer Mikhail Zhivets. “Tank models based on original designs of Japanese engineers will offer players a wide selection of authentic upgrade schemes, each tailored for particular combat objectives.”
The Japanese line will initially field two branches with nine medium and five light machines, including such fabled models as the Chi-Ri prototype, the first post-war Japanese design Type 61, the light Type 95 Ha-Go and the medium Chi-Ha tanks. Developed during the late 1950s, the Type 64 (STB-1) will become the Tier 10 medium model.
Along with existing armored vehicles from the USA, China, France, Great Britain, Germany and the USSR, the new tech tree coming one of the forthcoming updates will become the 7th national line introduced into the game.
Wargaming is also proud to announce that World of Tanks has been nominated for Best Online Game at this year’s 31st annual Golden Joystick Awards, the world's second oldest gaming award ceremony, awarding the best computer and video games of the year.
