Physics Model: ВPThe game has a very poor if non-existent physics model, as such it’s possible sometimes to hang a tank off a cliff and fire down the slope in such a way as to defy gravity.. ВPIn reality the tank would take a tumble.. This is silly and makes it impossible in some cases to be safe down a hill from someone. ВPWhere as you should be safe because they can’t dip their gun low enough.. but.. no.
I want to be able to see who/what is queueing so that I can decide to stay or go.. If I know I’m not going to be effective in a battle due to being in too small a kit then I need the ability to opt-out. ВPBut you can’t, you’re in it for the fight until your tank gets turned into a smoking hole.. and it will.. ВPThis isn’t fun..
I want to be able to to decide what vehicle I’m in for what map. ВPIf I’m in a heavy city fight, I don’t want to bring artillery..etc.. ВP I want to be able to switch guns to suit the situation and you just can’t, you have to make due with whatever you’re given.
Zero Control: ВPCurrently there is absolutely no way to choose which map you want to play on. ВPWhen you queue for a battle you’re thrown into the first available “room” with a random group of people in random vehicles, on a random map. ВPOkay Fight! This sucks and leads to a lot of issues where you’re in a room with people that have tanks 4 and 5 tiers above yours. ВP Many times have I felt like I brought a bb-gun to a bazooka-fest because I happened to be in my T3 tank going against t8ВPbehemoths..
They also appear to have an extremely slow development cycle or their iterations are very long as patches seem to come rather infrequently.. If ever..
Completely Silent Devs: ВPAs with any game, the developers are non-existent. ВPWe hear nothing as players and all our pleas, prayers and questions go unanswered. ВP This is the unfortunate trend in the gaming industry that has been going on for years and all it does is piss off customers. ВPMumsВPthe word and that blows.
But.. now we get to the bad.. You see the game has a lot of problems too that are starting to effect my fun:
The objects on the terrain are completelyВPdestructible.. (for the most part) ВPDon’t like that house in your way? ВPDrive through it!! Or shoot it.. And it’s free to play!! ВPEven after release they have a free to play model but it will be slow going for you.. but still free is good..
The games themselves are usually 5 to 15 minutes long and can never go beyond 15 minutes, plus if you do die early you can always bail on that game to start up another one while waiting for that game to finish.. So you’re never just sitting there waiting for the next round like some FPS games.. ВPIf at the end of 15 minutes there isn’t a resolution (all dead on one side or the flag is captured) then it’s a draw. ВPI have played over 300 games and this has happened once.
It’s a lot of fun, and I liken it to a really slow first person shooter.. ВPUnlike most FPS style games you go go go, but you have no choice but to go slower in this game as tanks don’t move that fast, barrels are slow to traverse, reload times are slow..etc.. ВPAnd if you do manage to get in a light tank and zip up to the front line you’re likely to die very quickly as.. well.. light tanks are light for a reason.. ВP So you have to play this game kinda slowly and carefully.. That’s appealing..
You can currently choose from Russian, German and USA when buying your tanks and you’re never restricted to a side. ВPYou can easily go up the Russian tech tree and the German tech tree at the same time. ВPBy the time of release they have stated that they will have fleshed out the USA tree (its kinda broken at the moment and missing tank destroyers entirely), as well as adding French and Japanese tanks. ВPI even heard rumor of British.. Awesome..
They have a LOT of tanks. ВPLight, Medium, Heavy, Tank Destroyers of every flavor and even Artillery if that’s your speed.. ВPYou’re thrust on to one of a dozen or more (not sure how many all told) maps with 15 people per side and you fight it out until your team is the last standing..
I have to admit, its a lot of fun but has a lot of flaws that I’m concerned about.. ВPBut first the good!
World of Tanks is a real first person shooter style game currently in open beta in which you get to drive tanks, tank destoyers and/or self propelled guns around fairly large maps all with the goal of mass destruction, mayhem and general killing of your fellow man. ВPBooyah! ВPWho wouldn’t like that right?
Who on Earth would name their game this?! Well.. Apparently Wargaming.net and BigWorld Technology that’s who..
When I heard a buddy of mine tell me that he was playing a game called “World of Tanks” I thought he was kidding.. I thought he was making some reference to “tanking” in World of Warcraft or something.. But no, he was serious..
