It is a free to play tank game with tanks from pre-wwII to Korean war with most of it focused on WWII era tank designs and experimental proto type designs.

Most of it is broken into American, French, Russian and German tech trees. The designers take the real world stats of tanks like as armor thickness, angle armor, and other engineering designs and incorporate it into the game. It is not 100% accurate but accurate enough to be fun for history nerds.

British and Japanese tech trees will be coming soon.

I am part of the 1st Cav. clan if anyone is interested.

I really did not expect to have two of my vices mesh like this.
WoT is the *only* video game I play, and I frequently play it with either my bent or my churchwarden in my mouth. (clenching the bent while at the desk, or the churchwarden while laying on the couch and playing. I used to smoke a billiard while at the desk, but the angling just didn't work enough for my liking.)
I was just going through my day off work routine of playing a few rounds of tanks and then checking the forums while smoking a bowl of Erinmore Flake in the bent when I saw your post.
What username do you go by in game? perhaps we have seen each other in a match. (mine is the same as on here, 'Black97'. won't say that I'm good at the game, after all, I am not a gamer, but I'm not bad either.)

Yes indeed, fear my art. Never was much good at the TDs or Heavies, but put me in a scout or artillery and let slip the dogs of war. I've been alpha testing world of warplanes for about a year for them as well, keep an eye on it, its going to be very good.

I cant get past the tutorial. I keep getting shot. My tanks are so wimpy that it's pretty much over after two hits.

Do you just have to hide until the battle is over or something?

I will have to take over the gaming computer and check it out. It only supports Windows and I am normally on a Mac.

I know some of my mac using friends are able to get windows games running via something called a DMZ, I've never looked into it as I've always had a PC, but I know some games allow for workarounds. I have no idea if that is applicable here, just thought I'd mention it.

Edit: Actually I think I got the wrong term there, I think its called Bootcamp.

Very interesting Greyson,
you have my curiosity piqued.
I don't use mac's often anymore, and the four I have left are between 10-20 years old (an old LC [1990], LCII [1992], IIsi [1993] and a ibook G3 [2001])
The term DMZ in computers, typically refers to a DeMarkation/DeMilitarized Zone (name varies depending on who you consult and how old they are, just like the definition of RAID)
which is normally associated with a router, where a certain system (computer/resource) is placed outside the firewall and is not protected.
I'll have to do some looking around to see if it can be done, although I won't be able to test out what I find, since my systems are all a little bit, antiquated.

This game is pretty good. My son and I have been trading out on the gaming computer. He enjoys the artillery. I am in the grind on a M3 Lee. 6000 more xp and I will get my first heavy tank!

I am on as well, look up "Leyte"
