Games: World of Tanks


World of Tanks is a massively multiplayer, online game open, fully dedicated to the armored vehicles the

middle of XX century.

World of Tanks: Open BT (2010)
Platform: PC Game
Size: 1.14 GB
Language: English / Russian
Genre: Action

Players will have the opportunity to fight shoulder to shoulder with the fans of steel giants from all over the world, defending their claims to world domination tank. Immerse yourself in the massive tank battles in the light of historical data of the Second World War. More than fifty authentically recreated models of military equipment, including prototypes and experimental models.

Each new player will start a game driving a light German or Soviet tank. While getting experience and credits, a user will be able to upgrade his tank or other unit to a heavier model. There will also be a chance to modify the existing tank by means of changing turrets, chassis, engines, guns, radios and various ammunition types and thus try a new experimental machine and increase the player’s fighting potential.
 
Every unit has about 10 modifications with different combat characteristics and all modifications are historically grounded – that means they were either implemented in real life or existed as prototypes. An average tank will have 2 modifications of turret, 2 variants of chassis, 3 models of engine and 2-6 modifications of the main gun. When a player already has a lot of credits and points, he can buy new vehicles and place them in his garage. If needed, the garage can further be extended, or if there is no more place for new items, unused units can be sold. Tank crew members will be leveling up as well. World of Tanks has a "virtual" crew system with certain leveling options. With every new battle the crew gains more and more experience which leads to improved performance of your panzer on the battlefield. Say, having a veteran gunner in your tank will result in + n% increase in fire accuracy. When the main skills of your crew members are maxed out they are free to acquire some side-skills e.g. the driver may learn the ropes of maintenance so in case of emergency this will let you reduce repair time. All of the modifications and changes take place in the period between the battles.

Gameplay described in short review on IGN:
A flexible system of authentic vehicle upgrade and development allows you to try any of the vehicles and weapons in the game. Whether you prefer to exhaust your foes with fast and maneuverable light tanks, make deep breaches in enemy lines with all-purpose medium tanks, use the force of giant tanks to eliminate opposing armored forces, or become a heavy sniper with long-range howitzers, each unit type has its own advantages and can be extremely effective when operated by a true tank ace. But being a great tank commander alone isn't enough to win! In World of Tanks, it's all about teamwork. Victory is achieved by combining your combat skills with those of the other members of your team, each playing their own role on the battlefield. Just add your favorite strategy to build your own iron empire and manifest the indisputable authority of the tank! Feel the TANK POWER!
