I got my beta key deleted the e-mail and proceeded to lose it. Lots of talk about it over on the FW forum so there should be plenty of AH guys playing it. I'll see if I can get another key, I think I know someone who has one.
No thank you Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

Plenty of fun. There are balance issues to be sorted out, a handful of minor bugs I've noticed. Not bad at all for a closed beta test  :aok

I think it could be described as Aces High tanking with the complexity of a Call of Duty game (Which, isn't very complex at all!) Great selection of tanks, different shell types, and a whole bunch of upgrades.

Dont think I will be trying this one out, I looked at the site + screenshots, and saw a whole lot of IS-3, and Maus pics, theoretical experiment battles have never interested me, so I will be sticking to AH, because at leased when I shoot down a Spit 16 in a Hurri, I know they were both used for something in the war. how ever, world of tanks could be interestiong down the road, if they implement some sort of arena or time frame setting, to per say stop 6 Maus tanks and 13 IS-3's from ganging me while im in a matilda or a valentine haha

Just unlocked my VK3601P after a week or so worth of half-hearted grinding in a PzIII/IV. Ohhh man!

I am having fun playing with a friend of mine but it's a pain that it's still in Beta. Once it fully releases there will be an American line as well as non-public (team based) matchups. Did I mention it is completely free to play? No wrong can come of trying it out once available. Fast paced action with a nice RPG element. Will be playing it casually for a while.  :aok

Its a BETA, with only german and russian tanks, few and little maps and above all a wrong tank sets (as soon as you get your short barrelled PzIII you find yourself against 1944-45 Tigers, Panthers, Jagd's and KV's). Crazy.

However, its very fun to play. Graphics are very good and you can run it at high settings even with a 2,4ghz C2Duo and an ati 4700.

If you have little time to play (sessions last about 10-15 mins) is a nice choice.

You're about 3 weeks late to the party and all the booze and hookers are gone.  There is a group of us AH and ex-AH'ers (around 10-13 of us) that regularly play WoT.
