Yeah, I can see one... you need to get a bit closer though - it looks barely more than a dot...

That is a really dumb title but an interesting concept + cool graphics. At least the fact that there are no 18" guns or laser cannons mounted on these things promises the possibility of balance between gameplay and some sort of realistic limits. I really doubt that a game of this nature would actually go all the way to strive for actual realism, but as long as it keeps a reasonable balance, it might be worth checking out...

Ha! My Lechttraktor will be victorious!
![]() It's a good little bash, quite addictive. I did a bit of the open EU beta on it, but I'll tell you one thing, and I hope they've changed it, I really do...but if they haven't... You will HATE artillery....you will come to loathe the sight of it...you will come to fear not the tank destroyers but the damn artillery that uses the fact that the tank you're lining up on has spotted you to drop a shell directly on your head. Artillery is massively overpowered...and I really hope that this is something they have fixed because it was rather annoying. However, at its best, it is a blast. EDIT: Besides, I'm still waiting for my Cromwell...or even better...Centurion, tank

Ah cool, so you've played it!
How's the game's gunnery and damage? Just curious - I figure if it's somewhere on the Flashpoint/ArmA level, it should be at least acceptable. What's the game flow like, anyway? Does it take place on big maps or more just the usual arena-type confined maps? Is there any element of MMO-type free roaming, or is it all just high-pitched PvP battles (sort of like Navy Field, say...)? |

I check-it out and the arcade play is not for me, although I have to say
the texture mapping used on the models is superb. I am striving to obtain that level of texture map skill and beauty for T34 vs Tiger. And when I do - boy! it will be awesome . Cheers! ![]() ZeeWolf |

good God, I just got my first kill
Upgraded to a T26, my first battle in it I end up being the last person alive on my team, having an intense stand off with some other guy, we were pretty much neck and neck, but I managed to get the last shell to count and blew him into next week. About a millisecond before I got blown there with him too lol. |

It's a fun little game. I just got in on the beta last week, but it's been great so far. Sometimes the random battles are a little unfair (i.e. 4 medium tanks on one team to the other's 1), but overall I have no complaints. Just got my first medium tank (Panzer III) last night, upgrading it and going for a Panzer IV next. Hoping to eventually hit the Tiger and King Tiger.

the guy with the Leichttractor wrote in the chat: "hello, i'm here to kill the Tigers!" and 10 seconds later he was burnt down He was a brave man ... but excessively optimistic perhaps you were the one who did it.

Im currently running around in a KV, not the best heavy tank - keep getting shot up by artillery which always manages to hit my tracks ALL THE TIME!
Hope UK tanks will be out, so I get me a Firefly or Comet
