I remember playing with my M2 Light in Malinovka rushing through the mid back in 2012.
2015 is the golden era of WoT. 2018 / WoT 1.0 made huge changes I thought every physics will now destructuble
In the year 2020 was also fun especially the game mode from the game (Frontline, Steel Hunter, Waffenträger, Mirny-13, Holiday Ops) these events becomes my traditions. 2012-2016 will be always my special place in my heart.
