It's not often that an MMO intersects with history, and it's even rarer when it does so with enough authenticity to merit inclusion in real-world historical celebrations. World of Tanks has done just that, and thanks to a new press release from Wargaming.net, we've got word that the dev team will be participating in Tankfest 2011, an annual military history event.

Tankfest takes place at the Bovington Tank Museum in Britain on June 25th and 26th, and Wargaming.net will be on hand to demonstrate "one of the largest virtual examples of WWII-era steel armor." World of Tanks officially launched on April 12th after an extensive beta period, and the game recently released new maps and the meta Ultimate Conquest mode.

I like World of Tanks.

It's a good game, but Wargaming have the worst attitude about customer service. When their North America server had connection problems recently, they claimed to bear no responsibility and would not compensate any of their paying customers who could not connect. Seems like they are just shooting themselves in the foot all the time.
