Looks decently entertaining. Still in closed Beta but I've read you can still get signed up.

An additional option is to PM one of the Clan leaders with your World of Tanks Username and ask them to send you an invite. You’re looking for the Commander and Deputy Commander ranks in the Clan member lists. Most of their AR15.com names are the same as in WoT but the three Clan Commanders are: AR15: Strykewolf AR-15: LCPL4ever AR_15: tony55690 |

currently in the beta
its very arcadey but still tremendous fun armor penetration is modeled, not sure if it's entirely historically accurate but i doubt it is because of gameplay considerations, but lets just say noob tanks can't blow up tigers. There are ahistorical aspects to the game, for variety and gameplay purposes. For example if you have a KV-1 you can get the KV-2 turret and a 107mm gun, a combination i'm not sure actually existed. Or my current tank , a Tiger I with the 88mm L/71 gun, a combination i know did not , and could not , exist. |

edit, nvrmnd just saw the vid above. Looks like it's 'adjustable' The main mode is the third person view with four scales of remoteness from your tank and possibility to freely rotate the camera around the vehicle. The game also features the sniper mode for tanks and the “howitzer” mode for long-range artillery. Moving your tank is implemented by standard WSAD+Mouse controls. There’s also a “cruise control” mode for going forward and backward on various speeds which can be engaged by R and F buttons.

IIRC armour thickness is mainly modeled on historical accuracy, but this has raised balance questions. Tiger1s have about 120mm unsloped frontal armour, which can be easily penetrated by many things. Speed is not historically accurate. Gunsets are not historically accurate. They usually have the historical gunset, with a bunch of non accurate guns. I've been playing for a while. I have an IS7 researched (have an IS4 since IS7 costs too damn much), T44, SU8, and leopard. |

Its very basic deathmatch/capture hold stuff. The gameplay comes down to holding down the trigger and hitpoints. Armor doesn't seem to be modeled. Overall I got bored very quickly. It might have a lot of vehicles, but they all play the same. |

Looks like it has potential but the last MMO that had potential that did parody trailers like that sucked and was DOA days after the release. I'm talking about Global Agenda. |

Its very basic deathmatch/capture hold stuff. The gameplay comes down to holding down the trigger and hitpoints. Armor doesn't seem to be modeled. Overall I got bored very quickly. It might have a lot of vehicles, but they all play the same. Its still in beta. Armour is modeled. At lower levels, armour is so low that it doesnt matter. At medium and higher levels, armour is very evident. Angle of armour is modeled too. Lights, mediums and heavies have much different gameplay. Heavies are slow as hell but (usually) can take a hit. Reload is slow as well. Mediums and lights can easily circle heavies and kill them, since heavies often can't turn their turret fast enough. Tanks have weak rears, so you can just keep smacking them in their rear. Thus, heavies need the support of mediums in order to do well. Lights are mainly used for scouting and killing arty. You can easily kill tank destroyers in lights. Then you have Tank Destroyers and Self Propelled Guns (arty). TDs aim faster and reload faster than tanks, and usually have better frontal armour but weak side and rears. They are pretty much snipers. Shoot their tracks and they are pretty much fucked. Since they have no turrets, you can circle them easily in mediums and lights. SPGs do a ton of damage but reload very slowly and have a tiny amount of health. |

Im beta testing it. I have only been playing a few weeks. Its ok, it is not a simulator style game. Im only playing to bide my time until release of Black Ops.
It is much more fun when you can squad up with a friend and play while on comms with a few people. Then you will actually use some teamwork, that in itself makes it more enjoyable. Is it a game worth buying? Possibly if it isnt a 60 dollar game...... |

I'll start practicing "Panzerlied". The Luchs line ends with the Leopard. Its a very short line, but its very fun. Small and fast tanks that are hard to hit, but low on armour and with a small gun. Its great fun trolling SPGs and TDs with them. If you are in a small tank and you have a friend in a small tank, and you are both fighting a big tank like a maus or something, you can block him by sitting in front and behind him. This effectively neutralises him since he wont be able to move lol. |
