World Of tanks Xbox One beta is finally here!

So I really should have been keeping on top of my blog in regards to WoT but my recent acquisition of an Xbox One has hampered my playing time on tanks but with the great news of it coming to the One ( and being cross platform between the 360 and One ) I figured I would get back on here and let you know of my thoughts.

As of July 11th to July 13th ( starting and ending at 2AM PT, in the UK that is 9AM ) the beta is open and downloading the beta now before it goes live tomorrow allows you access to the  Premium T1E6-X1 which a few people will already have. The release date for the Xbox One version is set for 28/07/2015 ( 07/28/2015 for the American readers )

The full details for this beta is available from: World Of Tanks Xbox One Beta

The other advantages from this will be certain events happening in between certain times such as "Participate in the Beta Weekend by logging in (to the Garage screen) to World of Tanks on the Xbox 360 or Xbox One between July 11, 02:00 PT and July 13, 02:00 PT and you'll receive a free M22 Locust Premium tank and Garage slot! Already have the M22 Locust? Then you'll receive 180,000 and a Garage slot!" nothing like getting a free garage slot. So many occasions I ran out and had to make the difficult decision on which one I want to sell.

Along side the beta though there are a few bundle packs showing up on the market place for the One ( not sure on the 360 ) the first on offer is the Assault Pack, Battalion Pack and the Vanguard pack.

Assault Pack - $34.99
Includes the rare prototype T95E2 tank. This medium features a 90mm gun, good speed and the ability to withstand damage. Rush into battle taking front line positions or snipe from long-range. • American Tier VIII T95E2 • "Xbox One Founder" Emblem • 30 Days of Premium Account • Player selectable T95E2 Ace Op. (Must be completed within 7 days of receiving bundle. Once per account.) • Op T95E2 Ace

 Battalion Pack - $48.99
Get the AMX Chaffee light tank and the T95E2 medium tank. BONUS: The ultra-rare MTLS-1G14 American light tank and a ton of Silver to fill your war chest. • "Xbox One Founder" Emblem on included tanks • American Tier III MTLS-1G14 • American Tier VIII T95E2 • French Tier VI F224 AMX Chaffee • 500,000 Silver • 30 Days of Premium Account • Player selectable Ops (Must be completed within 7 days of receiving bundle. Once per account.) • Op MTLS Ace • Op T95E2 Ace • Op AMX Chaffee Ace

Vanguard Pack - $19.99
Features the rare AMX Chaffee French light tank. Combines scouting ability with a lethal 75mm autoloading cannon. Use this tank to spot, cripple and finish off targets. Leverage your mobility to ambush enemy tanks and escape before they can react. • French Tier VI F224 AMX Chaffee • "Xbox One Founder" Emblem • 7 Days of Premium Account • Player selectable AMX Chaffee Ace operation. (Must be completed within 7 days of receiving bundle. Once per account.) • Op AMX Chaffee Ace 

The one I would agree is the most appealing is the Vanguard Pack purely on the Chaffee and the fact it is the cheapest one that still comes with the tank. If you have ever used the Chaffee and the AMX13 turret you kinda have an idea of the fun you're going to find yourself having.


In light of the beta approaching and the fact I now have the ability to stream my gameplay ( not with overlays properly on twitch ) I shall be joining in the tank fest and be steaming the action as much as possible. Wargaming would pick the one weekend I'm actually working but that is not going to stop me getting back in the grove of some good old fashioned tanking.

My Twitch is going to be where I'm streaming mainly from; www.twitch.tv/bae2005k and I will attempt to have some sort of a platoon going but on some occasions, I may be on a solo trip just to get back in and hopefully make it entertaining.

I will be looking to stream from about 10PM BST ( 5PM Eastern Standard Time ) for a few hours and may also be looking at early doors on Saturday 11th July from 9AM BST  (4AM Eastern Standard Time ) again for a couple of hours.

I will also be looking at streaming to YouTube: www.youtube.com/tampreture347 so be on the look out for live events and as always subscribe to the twitch and YouTube for more videos and roll on the 28th for when I can be producing lot's more videos and blogs for your enjoyment :D

For now it's time to set up the stream and get ready for some tanking action. See you all on the battlefield! 

And here's a quick image of the beta screen
