Default World of Tanks Download

I don't know if it is just me... but I'm trying to download WoT (at home finally so I can try these games out...) and the download is excruciatingly slow... I'm talking about 3hrs for a 1.8Gb download...

Well.. I'm not using my laptop and internet from school (regularly get 1.1, 1.9 Mb/Min speeds) but really.. I'm just pissed because I really want to try to play this game (only chance now that I'm home because I have a mac at school...) and the damn files are corrupt...

Whiners. 1.8Gb is a 3 day download for me. (Downloading while I sleep)

The game is worth it though.

Yep so worth it! Just avoid the M3 and M5's paper thin armour. But yet I survived Beta in them.

This is the only game that I can't stop playing in a long time.

The theme struck me well, me being a tank enthusiast. The gameplay is fun though can be repetitive with limited maps.

If they add twice the map or thrice that then this games would be even better.

And it's free. Almost to good too be true. Make that too good to be true.

Currently with a T34-85.

KV atm, which I have to remark is absolutely TERRIBLE as stock. The base gun is just so weak. But once you upgrade it things start getting fun. Currently with the 122Mm U-11. Stuff just explodes when it meets that gun. (Probably even more so if I get the 152mm)

New maps and other stuff is due out in the next patch (bout 2-3 weeks).

I'm liking my T34 and T34-85 as well as the BT-7.

I'm planning to get the 100mm gun for the T34-85 to give it the biggest kick. It's the same gun type used in T-55 I think.

Many people complain about T34 thin armor but once you adapt the tank with an appropriate style relying on wits than brute force the tank is quite rewarding.

Aye I know that but there will be only 2 new maps I think. But I guess it's better than none. And it's free so I can't complain about it.

I got the T-34 in Beta and I agree that its an excellent tank. Its not well armored but its armour is in its slopes. Its also not a large tank which is a defense in itself.

Also got the Derp Gun (152 Mm)

My gods can that gun kill.
