World of Tanks - Developer Diaries: Italian Tanks

Two new nations planned for release in 2018 have been announced at WG Fest. The first is obvious—it’s Poland; their first Premium vehicle has been in the game for a while now. But what about the second nation? You will find the answer in this episode of Developer Diaries.
The first vehicle will be available in the Supertest in the next few days. In this video, we’re going to talk about what this vehicle is, how it was created, and what you can expect from it. But most importantly, we're going to review a new mechanic that will be added to the game together with the new vehicle.

Are you looking forward to playing with Italian tanks and the new auto-reloader mechanic?

[AwesomeEpicGuys]

This is very nice and all WG but...

Where is Fiat 2000???

[FrankensteinLP]

So, can the italian tanks switch sides?

[nikola]

All tanks in wot:demaged ammorack
Italian tanks:SOMEBODY TOUCHE ME SPAGET

[alvaidaslaucis]

F I A T 2 0 0 0 as a tier 1 heavy. IT WOULD BE REVOLUTIONARY!

[VTomek]

So the special ability of IT tanks will be that you can switch sides in the ending stages of the battle if you are loosing ?

If you don't put pizza as premium consumable I'm quitting this game.

[sixpecguyguy]

can you add double barrel mechanic like the fiat 2000

[ChrisPBolsak]

Why are you putting the Fiat 3000 instead of the Fiat 2000

[dangernoodle]

"Historically accurate"
WG : lets nerf tiger1

[thedarigon]

Looking good and all, but:
Can we plz have a *Fiat 2000*?
(Btw those graphics look insane)

[johanneskresser]

Very interesting Mechanic but what about Fiat 2000?

[ducktator]

Why is tier 1 again some copy of renault FT?! Add there Fiat 2000!!!

[dubphilth]

Definitely one of the most interesting mechanics introduced, also seen in AW. Either way I'm looking forward to this. Cent AX for life though.

The loading system and the potential adaptability of the Italians has my interest. Their AL system reminds me of the more modern carousel autoloaders we see in Soviet Cold War and Post Cold War Federation AFVs. I wonder if they'll have the same ammunition brew up weakness in design that Soviet autoloaders always had?

Anyway this line looks like a lot of fun.

[KARTIKKUMARSAW]

Facing italian tanks and guessing they are reloaded or not will become difficult in battle.

[korihor]

Thanks WG! The Italian community is very happy! 😊😊

[SgtShidner]

So. Much. YES!!! This 'ready rack' mechanic is just the sort of thing that will make the Italians stand out. Can't wait to get that Tier 8 premium and get a crew going. And ummm....i didn't see a Fiat 2000 in could be added

[_alex_]

But the real question is:
What is the premium food of Italian tanks?

[rvbamv]

this is so cool! I don't even care if this is another tier 8 premium. Getting this new branch AND a new mechanic that actually looks fun. Well done wargaming.
