It's looks like a good tank game. Is it worth buying?

I say yes, I really enjoy it! One of the best FPS games out there IMO. The tank action isn't too bad either!

I bought it when they had it on sale on steam for $4.99.  It's a good tank game but you have a limited amount of Tank servers with only a small group of players. It's much more in depth than AH and a bit more realistic, but the FPS side of things sucks compaired to more modern games like COD4 for instance.

I'm actually developing a tank sim now and in all honestly I'm using RO as a guide line because they got it right as in a good mix of reasonable realism and fun. The only problem with RO is it's a older game now and not a big player base for the tank mod servers.

Really? I've found the FPS to be some of the most satisfying I've ever played. I always got the feeling the devs made an effort to be somewhat realistic. Plus, being a multiplayer game, I don't have to deal with magical consistent 1900-yard AK47 headshots like I do in CoD4 on Hardened.

Really?  Do you happen to fly f-16's for the CIA as well?

Great game Vans.  Highly addicting.  I bought it when it was $49.95 and it was worth every cent.  If ya get it let me know.  I'll hook ya up with my squad so you get have some regulars to game with.

Na I just think the movements as in animations aren't that great in the FPS part of the game. With COD4 I only played on the realism servers.. There was a pretty good mod out there that adjusted some of the lame crap out of the game. It turned off the radar and allowed claymores to kill friendlies and so on. My biggest complaint with COD4 was the sniper rifles accuracy while standing up.

rabbid: Skyrock has not heard of the great Voss conspiracy obviously and didn't realise that you were only having a wee bit of fun with his squaddie by playing off it.  It's cute to watch him defend his buddy.  :)

Not at this moment but I'm always looking too the future.. Aim High was the old commercial wasn't it?

I really don't have much of anything physical to show off yet, so believe me if you like or don't, it doesn't matter to me. I've mostly been getting used to the game engine I'm using and doing testing with it. This is a model I built a while back to do some testing and experimenting with, it likely wont be in the demo as I'm keeping it simple and just planning to include a early model T34 and a Panzer 3. The demo will be focused on the early Russian front and progress from there if it works out.
