I'm pretty sure that CBT won't be available for consoles, unfortunately. Tunis is just... wow. The seaside point, within the "city" is even more crazy than Cologne square. Guess I just get the "right" feel of the tank gameplay when I can rush through the wall and one shot some unexpecting Tiger.

The Second Battle of El Alamein map is even better than Tunis, too bad is seems to be rarer. The game seems to add British tanks pretty slowly, but I haven't had much time to play anyway, so it doesn't matter much.
A bit of chat with BVV_d on Dec 31st:
Also, from Whitie_W0lf
- Rockets damage will be listed in infobox, 1.57 or even earlier hopefully
- Soviets will get T-44-100 + new light tanks/spg to close 6.7-7.7 hole
- IS-3's BR is considered for decreasing, battle stats will show. M36 & T25 are candidates as well.
- Jagdpanther & Su-122P are most likely to lower to 6.3
- M48 can appear in 1.57
- Churchill Mk.I is planned
- Highcaliber AA guns will come after 1.57 (well, maybe ONE halftrack with 88mm will be finished before that)
- KV-122 will be in game, not sure if premium or normal
- The following is planned for '16: smokescreens, extra armor, more ammo options, 2 more tank nations.
Also, from Whitie_W0lf
- 1.57 should feature several PvE tank missions (single & coop)
- 2 new maps are in the works, no promises on dates though
- after new maps are introduced their chances of appearance are higher than the old ones. this is set to normal after a month, usually.
- strong no on ability for player to prefer/ignore maps
- "best" AB map right now is Carpathians, according to stats

The new Carpathians is kind of strange now though. The really simplified the routes leading to the north-east cap. But I think by best, they mean both sides have equal changes if winning...
Long time no news. Well, here are some:
Big news on long-promised thermodynamics model (affects RB & SB)
For those of you looking for authentic experience, I guess.

And some good news for those who hate those obnoxious Mice: BR 8.0 is back for vehicles!
Maus und T-10M are 8, T-54-1947 is 7.3, life is beautiful!

I know you know it, but it's still worth to mention: pro games are on
If you watch while being logged in there's chance to grab some prizes as well. Just for watching. Russians are generous.

Ok, my only help here got banned for something non-WT related, so I continue my solemn watch of what's going on with the project all alone.
Anyway...
First of all, the first cybersport event ended up to be pretty successful: Russian team won, participants got their prizes, viewers got their boosters and vehicles. Congrats!
Second of all, new thermodynamics mechanic is working nice, with positive feedback from R/SB players.
And, finally, news started to arrive on 1.57 with no less than this birdie

I know people wanted it, and while not a big fan of German planes myself, my congratulations to Luftwaffe afficionados.
I believe that's all for today. Wednesday should bring us news about new tanks, I think.

Usually I don't care for German birds, unless they're in crosshairs, but this one is diffrerent.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the object of lots and lots of hatred from Soviet people, the terror of the early 40s, when Luftwaffe had total control of the skies... Рама (The Frame), Fw 189 A-1.

My pledge is this: I'll hunt and bring down every last one of them from the skies, even if I'll need to ram them with burning leftovers of a bomber. This is personal.

New map location, that features capture point (for some modes) inside a tunnel.
I feel that previous sentence lacks some exclamation marks to make it perfect title for clickbait article.

8 crew members, over 70 passenger capacity... pay attention to the bombing rack animation!

More and more British stuff. Enjoy, this one is a two-seater, so, in proper mode, you'll be able to check your co-pilot/navigator.

We are not dead. Yet.
So, for those of you who's still here - me, myself and I - here's the self-proclaimed probably the best rendition of the sky that has ever been recreated in video games

Coming in one of the patches soon.

we render the clouds up to a distance of 300 virtual kilometres - all the way to the horizon in case a player is flying at an altitude of 7,000 meters.

Coming in one of the patches soon.
And another welcome (and long-awaited) addition: customizable make-shift armor and camouflage.

Can't wait for oculus SDK 1.3 support to get patched in
It's hard to give general tips, can you be a bit more specific? Tanks? Planes? Controls? Research? Graphic options?
Community wiki - http://wiki.warthunder.com/index.php?title=Main_Page - has a good section on game mechanics, I would really recommend starting here if you have basic questions.
The only advice isn't mentioned there (obviously) is don't spend any real money on the game for the first couple of months. Game uses one of the best F2P models there is, so you won't be bothered by lack of "premium" feauters.
Also, you can always check beginner's guides at forum - http://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/161-the-academy/ (PSN credentials work).
Finally, new game mode arrives

CEO replies:
New nations?
Yes, most likely France & Italy.
Bombers' cockpits?
We're still thinking about that, since it's not very fair from the view limits point of view (bombers had more than one person in the plane, and all of them could observe the skies); and it's also a lot of work (comparable to creating single-seater: both plane and its' cockpit). Currently we're thinking about puting them in SB only.
Infantry?
While it's still not decided, most likely there won't be one due to violence and age restrictions.
Smoke screens?
We have prototypes in the work and we plan to release them
