World of Tanks

[pocaracas]

To all you people out there who have always wished to drive a WW2 tank and just shoot the hell out of other people driving their tanks, there's this great game out there that's free-to-play called, you guessed it, World of Tanks



You have 5 different types of tanks to pick from, 7 nations who built them
- USA, USSR, Germany, UK, China, Japan, France

- Light tanks - quick and maneuverable, lightly armored, weak puny guns - great for scouting so your team knows where the enemy tanks are.
- Medium tanks - all-round utility tanks. Better armored and armed than light tanks but should be kept moving, for there are bigger guns out there.
- Heavy tanks - The main brawlers. Heavily armored and carrying big guns... they're slow but speed isn't what wins wars!
- Tank destroyers - Stealthy little buggers (sometimes, not so little), usually with no turret, but with big big guns.
- Artillery - They shoot long distance and are usually at the back. Accuracy is appalling for most of them, the shell reload time is everlasting... but when the shell lands on target, it's oh so satisfying.

On randomly picked teams, you and other 14 team mates go into battle against other 15 randomly picked people - these are called random battles!
Great for frustrating against your own team, or raving at the other team's arty noobs and sheer luck!
You can platoon up with friends and you'll all join a battle together - usually, this works better.

Pick your tank and get in a battle!

World Of Tanks - WOT?

Ah... you should have used it when it was just KV.... no bloody 1, 2, or ... 220. That same 152mm gun from the KV-2 at tier 5! Glorious!
And the KV-3 at tier 6... we called it "the steel wall magnet".

I can imagine the screams when that got nerfed.

Well... it was a well deserved nerf... those two were responsible for most of the bias of OP'ness that the russian tanks have.

That's a relief - people could get confused with my own World Of Trolls.

That's because I played a lot with the KV-3 at tier 6!
That and the M41 before the nerf to artillery.
Oh, and the T-127 was also a bit OP for tier 3... and it's a premium vehicle everyone got a few christmases ago.

It does sound interesting, I have to admit. Once I get my long-awaited and desperately-needed upgrade I think I'll blow your shit up for the lulz
