| Black Tanks - The Return | |
| By: Corbantis Date: February 4, 2019, 7:26 am | |

| From WOT forum Developer Bulletin. | |
| Greetings Tankers! | |
| We�re here today to talk about seven of the most legendary tanks | |
| in World of Tanks: Mercenaries - the Black Edition Tanks. | |
| For those of you who aren�t familiar with the Black Edition | |
| tanks, let�s recap quickly. Way back in November of 2016, we | |
| released seven Black Edition Tanks to commemorate 100 Years of | |
| Tanks. Check them out in game on the Premium Tech Tree or on the | |
| Tankopedia at the following locations: | |
| FV201 (A45) Black Edition | |
| STA-2 Black Edition | |
| L�we Black Edition | |
| T-34-3 Black Edition | |
| T34 Black Edition | |
| IS-6 Black Edition | |
| AMX CDC Black Edition | |
| When we released these tanks back in 2016, it was stated they�d | |
| never be available again. Since then, we�ve been consistently | |
| fielding requests from players asking us to bring them back - | |
| from our forums and private messages, to our social media | |
| channels, live streams and customer support tickets. Players who | |
| have never had the chance to own these legendary machines have | |
| been letting us know. | |
| With the upcoming celebration of our 5th anniversary of World of | |
| Tanks on consoles, we�ve decided it is time. Millions of players | |
| have joined our community in the more than 2 years since the | |
| release of the Black Edition tanks. Many of these players are | |
| collectors looking to complete their collections, or who want to | |
| enjoy the XP bonuses granted by the Black Edition tanks, or to | |
| simply field awesome looking tanks (we�re quite partial to the | |
| aesthetic of these tanks ourselves). Our players have been | |
| clamoring for a chance to own these tanks - we want everyone to | |
| enjoy their time in World of Tanks and if we can accomplish that | |
| by making the Black Edition tanks available once again, we think | |
| that�s the right thing to do and our 5th anniversary is the | |
| right time to do it. | |
| So, how will this work? Well, we�ve recently introduced the | |
| Trade In program, a feature that allows players to trade in | |
| premium tanks from their garage and apply a portion of that | |
| value towards a new tank. We�ve run a couple tests with it now | |
| and have been happy with the performance, so we�ve decided to | |
| make the Black Edition tanks available through this system � we | |
| felt this helps make the tanks available to as many of our | |
| community members as possible in the fairest way possible. We�ve | |
| also heard your feedback in wanting more tanks available for | |
| trade in, so nearly every tank (exceptions exist, such as free | |
| giveaway tank including Anniversary and Tanksmas tanks, etc.) | |
| can be used to trade in towards the Black Edition(s) of your | |
| choice! | |
| We also understand that the Black Edition tanks up until now | |
| have been more than just a tank, they�ve been a symbol for | |
| players who have owned them since their release. We don�t want | |
| to take this away from players, so we are granting an exclusive | |
| �Legacy� emblem to tankers who own the Black Edition tanks from | |
| back when they were originally released in 2016 (you�ll get an | |
| emblem for every Black Edition tank you own). This is both a | |
| small token of our appreciation (we know we can never adequately | |
| express our gratitude to those of you who�ve been with us since | |
| the beginning and have supported us all the way) and a way for | |
| you to continue to show off that you were one of the first to | |
| own these legendary tanks. | |
| We want to thank our community for all of their support and | |
| loyalty! We are excited for you to see all of the exciting | |
| content coming throughout 2019 and are looking forwards to many | |
| more great years of tanking with you! | |
| - The Wargaming Team | |

| Yeah instead of taking it off Guderian, they left it on. That | |
| has ticked off the OG buyers of the Blacks, along with the | |
| Blacks being resold. | |
| To placate the OG purchasers, they are giving them a special | |
| emblem. Exactly the same crap they did to us OG Founder's packs | |
| owners. | |

| I'm going to trade in a few of my old premiums I don't run to | |
| get a couple. Considering how ugly some of these reskins are, I | |
| don't mind the 100 on there anymore. Makes better silver. :) | |

| Guderian, | |
| What are you doing to look at the barrel? Or even the side, who | |
| cares it is a great experience and silver earner, the visual is | |
| someone else�s problem. | |
| Next time we plantoon I�ll bring out the GUP and circle you the | |
| entire time, how about that for an offensive looking tank!!!! | |

| is there a difference in the silver making between the standard | |
| t34 and the black version? I'm not seeing it on the tankopedia. | |
| Would like to know before i trade in the standard one for the | |
| black one. | |
| Thanks, | |
