World of Tanks - TS-5, Lansen C, HWK 30, & M41D Changes (25-30 Jan)

Author's note: Apologies for the delay in posting these (as well as the lack of articles over the previous couple weeks) -- Winter quarter has recently begun (once again) at my uni, so I have found myself with less time for posting. Nonetheless, here they are!

Several vehicles have received changes to their technical characteristics with the arrival of the Common Test for Update 1.4: the TS-5, Lansen C, HWK 30, and M41D. Check them out, along with some in-game screenshots (courtesy of WoT Express)!
