Great new Wallpapers!

Something for your desktop? Joker has produced some superb wide-screen shots of three of our latest maps, Dnieper River, Wacht Am Rhine and Berlin Streets. These pictures are big but give a great view onto each map.
Mr Arhipov also dropped a fantastic shot of our King Tiger valiantly fighting street to street.

Meanwhile destroyer captains can get more aggressive as they can now use torpedo launchers to attack sea-bourne targets from long range. Here are the screenshots :
