Everything is optional in the Aslain installer. If you want a barebones installation, choose the "Reset" option on the fourth screen in in the drop down menu. This will uncheck all options and then you can go down the list and choose what you want to install.

Pretty sure this is a typo or translation error. Dispersion on hull rotation was increased by 20% from 0.10 to 0.12. The Super Conq's dispersion stats are now the same as the Conqueror. Looks like tanks.gg 9.20.1 data has been updated with the second iteration stats now.

Looking at the pic NIborGER put up (and comparing the tank inspector pic in the first post of thread to tanks.gg data for the first CT to decipher what each value is), I think the stat increased by 20% is actually the bloom from turning the tank. I think this means that the Super Conq's gun handling is being made identical to the Tier 9 Conq

If it's the same as it was on NA back in May, it's the other way around; you can only trade into equal or higher tier (tech-tree) premiums. Also, @Boodler, the NA event was limited to Tier 6 to 8 tanks. If the EU event follows the same rules your list of available trade-ins shrinks to the T25 Pilot, T 34-85M, and T28 HTC. @TheMarine0341 made a great ranking of the premium tanks, which is mostly up to date with respect to vehicle re-balancing: http://forum.wotlabs.net/index.php?/topic/25934-ranking-the-premium-tanks-tiers-5-through-8/ . I think the only tech-tree prem that he hasn't reconsidered post re-balance is the 9.20 T-54 mod 1.

Not upcoming content but...video by WGNA has dropped that WoT is moving to a Central Server. No more details than that so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiL1TXSmdtc

30v30 will not affect MoE now: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/639353-marks-of-excellence-in-30v30-mode/page__st__60__p__14640620#entry14640620

Test server tech tree suggests it will be 198,000 xp

Changes coming to MM https://na.wargaming.net/support/news/555

Yoott just posted on the salt mines official forums that he's started paying out the prizes for the scavenger hunt.

Looks like Wargaming has posted some details about how Frontline works here: http://sandbox.worldoftanks.com/en/news/frontline-guide/

No need to ante up, the anniversary camo comes with the non-bundled tank by the looks of it

Second Common Test patch notes (http://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/general-news/918_second_common_test/) include the following regarding LT crew training/free tanks:

I haven't checked out the test server yet, but if the tanks.gg data is correct and Wargaming holds their ground on keeping accumulated XP on the tier 8 light tank: Correct for the T-54 ltwt to T-54 grind - you'll need to finish that soon because the LTTB is not connected to the T-54 in 9.18 Incorrect for the 13 90 to the B-C 25t AP / AMX 30 grinds - The new B-C 12t leads to both of these (plus the new 13 90) so XP on the current 13 90 is still useful after 9.18 if those grinds aren't finished yet.
