Been on this for about a week, not a bad game.

Heres the URL: http://game.worldoftanks.com/

(The game is currently in "closed beta", but its pretty easy to get in.)

Not when your in a T-28, and your facing King tigers

Hopefully balance will be sorted out on release, but thats what Betas are for.

Got my beta key a few weeks back, tis indeed a very fun game, and a great concept.

Incidentally there are already a few threads about it in the Tanksim area of the forums

I got my sign on code last night. I spent a good two hours with it. It is very enjoyable and ok for multiplayer.

I have the two tanks offered up when you start the beta. I was able to start some research for some upgrades to the turret and engine. But yes, a nice Sherman would be very cool to have. I would like a Russian tank or two as well. It seems most gravitate to the German tanks.

Got my Code, just haven't had time to check it. Sounds like a good weekend project.

It is a good game. Kind of like Call of Duty World at War online play but with tanks. The game play is a bit different because working together with other tanks make you successful. With COD WoW it is a basic free for all most of the time. I'm not sure when you have time to play it but you will see me as avgwarhawk. See if you can seek me out for some practice play.

I played it for a few days when the beta first started, it's a fun game, but gets repetitive after a while. As for most F2P games, there is a lot of grinding involved, which sadly has put me off playing it for any length of time.

I agree. The developer needs to add offline play, single player campaigns and a tool to make campaigns. Currently I think it will remain MMO. I posted some screenshot in the tanksim forum.

this game sucks if you live in australia!

played 2 matches with it and uninstalled it, because it takes about 2 seconds for your tank to respond to your commands! its also laggy as hell!
