World of Tanks Historical arcade/simulation blend World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online game dedicated to armored warfare in the mid-20th century. It is heavily dependent on team competence and methodical manoeuvres, as you have little room for error in battle. The game is free-to-play but as with all f2p games, there is a micro-currency in which you can get some neat bonuses such as a premium status, premium tanks and other benefits such as garage slots. In the game as of now, there are four nations’ tech trees you can work your way down; USA, Germany, United Kingdom, China, USSR and France. There are also multiple specialized tracked vehicles that you can use to suit your preferred play style and tactics, such as light scouts, medium flankers, heavy brawlers, tank destroyers and self-propelled guns or artillery. Each type plays a specific role in combat, such as spotting enemy armour, sniping, flanking, brawling, harassment and artillery support. WoT is going to be releasing version 8.0 in the near future which will be a great leap forwards for the game, introducing physics, improved graphics, and many other very, very fun things. The patch notes as of now can be found here, as they are currently running public test servers for finding bugs. I haven’t participated since I am both very lazy and willing to wait until the full release to “wow” me. The game boasts an extremely impressive penetration system and is rather involved, as it counts for virtually every variable you would need to account for in reality such as muzzle velocity, calibre, armour thickness, range of shot, angle, and slope. Every major module inside of the tank can also be damaged or destroyed, these include the tracks, turret ring, gun, engine, fuel tank, ammunition rack, radio and optics. Not only are your modules vulnerable to enemy fire but you also must be wary of your crew inside your steel machine, such as the driver, radio operator, commander, gunner and loader. All can be injured and your combat effectiveness will be severely hampered if you lose a crew member in battle. I’ve been playing this game on and off since April of 2011, and I can say that an affinity for military history or armoured warfare is a good thing to have when playing the game – as it really draws in those crowd’s attention. Such as myself. As some people may have assumed, I specialize solely in the German Tech Tree and have a soft spot for accurate, sniping role tanks. Being able to plod about in all of the legendary panzers is something I love, especially when I’m able to spit steel at the enemy without a hitch~ Though, my favourite tank, in which I have over 500 battles in, the Panzer IV is going to be severely nerfed and have its roles changed in 8.0 from a wonderful sniper, to a mediocre flanker.
