After a recent GV-based Snapshot event, which was a lot of fun, and talking to a couple of the participants, I was thinking of seeing if anyone was interested in re-starting Tank Club again. For those that don't know, this was a weekly event for GV'ers held in the DA. Many of the game's best tankers showed up and we basically split up into two teams, spawned in and went at it. Pretty simple, but the practice helped many learn where to hit a particular tank model to kill it, among other things. Even some team GV tactics were tried out.
I'm going to volunteer to sort of 'host' an initial Tank Club event this Sunday at 4pm Pacific time, in the DA, in the vehicle play area. Any and all are welcome to show up and participate. If enough people are interested in pure GV to GV gameplay like this, we can decide to continue on a weekly basis.
With that in mind, I'm looking for about 3 volunteers to help referee this, should it become a regular thing. These people would rotate weekly among themselves to host/referee, then participate. I'm planning to add a small bit of structure to help set up different combat scenarios and/or each team's tank composition. This will be modestly like a Snapshot, but not historical in nature.
I've also asked if HiTech might add some spawns in another area of the DA in a future update so as to provide more varied terrain and combat options. May or may not happen.
So, if you're a dedicated tanker, or want some regular practice and learning opportunities on tanks and tactics, join in to Tank Club, this Sunday @ 4pm Pacific time in the DA.
P.S. Open to suggestions on how TC could be developed and evolve, the Club day and time, and even the name. Might be something catcher that someone will think of.
P.P.S. This is NOT a HiTech/Aces High sanctioned event (as yet
), but an independent and ad hoc gathering of like-minded tank enthusiasts.
