World of Tanks has been teaching players new and old alike all sorts of secrets about tanks over the past few weeks. In their most recent news post, they’ve unveiled the final entry into the “Tank Facts” list, a list consisting of 20 of the most obscure tank facts.
These facts are interesting tidbits from history that make up a picture of how far tanks have come in their lifetime, such as production methods, in-tank facilities, types of motors, superstitions, and even kill records.
One of the most interesting facts is that the word “apricot” is considered taboo around American tanks. This superstition is so strong that apricots are not permitted within a certain distance of an American tank nor is the word allowed to be uttered in an American tank’s presence. This tradition allegedly started in World War 2 when nearly all tanks that broke down had apricot rations on board.
