World of Tanks Update 8.9 rolls out, crushes all opposition
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.
