Besides the FPS'esque parts of it, it kind of reminds me of R.U.S.E.

There's been a few teaser trailers, which are quite funny:

Applied for Beta, looks really cool.

I thought this was gonna be about battlefield europe (which is a realistic ww2 tank mmo that is a fair bit old now) but it looks like the tongue is firmly in the cheek in a good way.

Been playing this non stop for the last couple days. It is tons of fun and hella addictive. Shattered Crystal are giving away beta keys if anyone is interested.

I finally got into the beta and registered my first kill at the weekend!

Most of the time, though, I'm just driving around and getting blown up. I usually manage a shot on the enemy first, but then they just seem to blow me to bits with their reply. (I'm using the two 'starter' tanks). Does anyone have any suggestions for how to actually get more kills, or is it a case of building up my gold till I can get a better tank?!

Well the "Gold" currently is issued every 24 hours or so and when the games goes live instead of paying for the game or a monthly sub you buy gold if you want to.

As for a new tank keep building up your credits and exp. then go for either a PzKpfw II or a T-26. Then again with those just keep building up and upgrading your tanks.

Let other people charge in first, then help pick off damaged enemy tanks

Seems the servers are down at the moment

I havent stopped playing this game since I started playing it about a week ago.

Not going too high up the tech trees yet, just level 3 stuff, but really fun.

Had a great tactical finish to a game yesterday where I had no ammo left (SU-18), and only 2 of us left (the other guy was also an SPG) and I went out across the map as bait

I circled around, found a few of their guys who tried to kill me, nly to be shelled from above.

I managed to take they're base on my own, as their last 2 tanks were heading over to our base to try take it.

Neither of us had any ammo left

was great craic!

Got my key installed joined a battle, got killed then waited an age to respawn.
Seems to have potential though.

Auvers · 30-07-2010 1:59pm

You don't respawn.

You can exit that battle, then if you have a second tank enter another battle with that one.

You can have up to 5 tanks on the go. So you get killed > back to garage > new tank > enter battle > rinse, repeat!

Have been playing quite a bit lately (though not enough to get to the higher tiers, so people must be on this game 24/7 seriously).

Have a Pz III and a Wespe. Though I have the Grille unlocked, but I'd rather keep my Wespe.

Are any people still testing/playing this? I'm interested in trying out the squads.

I am, almost religiously, though the new patch wouldn't dl last night for some reason...

Yep, haven't stopped.

I REALLY like the game. Some small issues to sort out, but its excellent.

Currently have a T-43, Hummel & BT-7 all maxed out.

Debating whether to get a T-44, or go down the TD line. Have about 45k free XP, and 2m credits.

The squad system isn't great, but at least gets you into the same games as the members of your squad (max is 3 players to a squad).

There is no squad chat as yet, but if you use TS or something it can be very enjoyable.

Auvers · 09-09-2010 2:27pm

yes I love the game, its all I have been playing

Krieg · 15-09-2010 3:21pm

Got on the beta this morning. Took a couple of days for the application to be processed. Liking it so far. Though I think they need to increase the draw distance. Oh and more servers please

Don't have any issues with the draw distance - what you are experiencing may be to do with the view distance your tank has.

He he!! Get on the WoT forums, lots of cool info there.

hairyheretic · 16-09-2010 12:34pm

Has anyone been able to use the squad function yet? I like the idea, but limiting it to 3 per squad seems a bit small.

Nehaxak · 17-09-2010 7:16pm

Anyone got a mirror at all to download the full install ? It's only 1.2GB but it's taking forever at the moment

Nehaxak · 17-09-2010 8:56pm

Nevermind, downloaded eventually. Installed, played a couple of games and then uninstalled it. Too few on the battlefield, it's not an MMO.

Its not really an MMO, its been Beta'd with 15v15 max per battle. Thats not going to be the only game mode though, and there are plans for persistent battles etc

I'm really enjoying it though.

Horses for courses I suppose
