Overview:     

World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare in the middle of the 20th century. Throw yourself into epic tank battles with other tankers all over the world. Your arsenal includes more than 200 armored vehicles from America, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Soviet Union, China and Japan.

   You have a 3rd person view of an armored vehicle, that can range from light to heavy tanks and even SPGs (artillery pieces), inspired from WW2. I said inspired because even models that were only blueprints are featured, and because this is an arcade game where the accent is not put on realism but on balance and their own vision.

   For better aiming you can switch to a first person view, and artillery pieces have a special overview of the map. The damage model is based on hitpoints, vehicle modules that can be damaged, and crew that can be injured.

   It's pretty cool that all vehicles can have diverse camouflages depending on the terrain (sand/grassland/snow). What I didn't like is that you can't mute the chat of players during combat and abuse is common. And what I really really didn't like is the existence of a special ammo type that is very expensive and that is clearly above the "regular" ones.

 Pros: well designed maps.


 Cons: very grindy, small maps, "gold" ammo (it can be bought with regular in game currency but it's quite expensive).


 Rating: [pay 500gold to see the rating]
