World of Tanks
World of Tanks Official Site
Anyone else playing this free MMO here? Currently in Open Beta, though it's slated to be released as a Free2Play within the next two months. *goes back to farming for his M4A3E8 Sherman* |
*raises hand* Present! Love this game too, and so far anyone I've recommended it too does so as well. It's a fun little game, and with the matches being short fun to do in between breaks and such.

Started playing today , got myself a PanzerKampfWagen 3 AUSF A
this tier 3+ is harder than having the Leichttracktor for the 1st time |

I've seen a few articles about this in the past but never new it was now an open beta.
Might give it a go later. Can you import custom skins to use online ? as I remember seeing some cool VC themed skins a while back <3 |
No support for custom skins unfortunately, and understandably so given the sheer variety of tanks you can unlock. :heh:

Played a good amount of battles (6 I think) and I must say, this game is quite enjoyable, but not fully engaging. But still quite interesting, but also a good place for leechers who can just sit in the base all day and leech off the victory experience.
|
There a reason the oh-so lovely T90 has been left out? I'm guessing this is WWII and before?
|
Yes, this game deals with WW2 era vehicles only, including experimental and prototype models never put into service. So if you want to see how a Maus would perform against other tanks... though getting a Maus would be an incredibly long grind :heh:

Tried it out last night and its additively fun although pretty hard when your starting out with little baby tanks. X[

I'm using the BT-2 at the minute and its a little better than the baby tanks you start with and as soon as you put the 40mm odd gun on it you can finally begin to pose real threat.
Still didn't stop me getting steamrolled by panzers and those allied mobile artillery tanks ALOT of people see to love @_@ but at least I was starting to tally some kills. One thing thats been irritating me is theres alot of just plain old that goes on, where basically 3/4 of each team barely move from the spawn points and when they do its only to the closest bush... Its gonna be a real grind until I get my lovely T-54 =< |

I didnt notice there was like an auto aim function until I randomly discovered it in-game earlier, It would have made life a little easier at the start.
I done pretty well in the last game I had and in the first 5 minutes I'd racked up 3 kills when myself and a few other teammate full on blitzkrieged the enemies base but ended up being taken down by 2 tankbusters waiting in the bushes at the rear of their spawn which wasn't so bad since we had a good run and whittled the enemy down to about 4 units overall. What made it worse was that when I went into spectator mode and found the remaining tanks on my team where all hiding at base......in the bushes. =E |

Hah yeah if theres an enemy inside the round turret sight crosshair you right-click and the barrel auto-aims onto the enemy tank although it isnt always perfect and sometimes its just more effective to aim for particular sections of enemys tank like any external fuel tank or the turret itself.

Their main disadvantage? They're also made out of cardboard. Even light tanks can one-shot an artillery. Charging in with an arty is nothing short of suicide, so the best way for most players to fight with them is to stay back and shoot. When used properly this can be very effective, with the stronger and faster tanks charging in and the artillery providing support fire. I've seen this completely destroy camper teams. The downside is that if you have tanks with 3/4th artillery, a lot of them will be very hesitant to leave the base. Cardboard armor tends to invoke the coward in players. |

I wouldn't say one hit per-say as from watching in spectator I seen a few of the mobile artillery types (mostly T57's) take a fair kicking so it probably just depends how far down the upgrade tree your SPG is.
From all the tanks I seen sitting in the base most where medium/light tanks with the actual artillery units either moving further back behind the base or into the corner of the map. |
