The game is a lot of fun but limited. As a free offering its a blast, id they have a PFP model I think they'll have some serious teething issues. I'd love to see Dale and crew incorporate some of the features but leave the cheesy
"consumables" out. A perk system is a much better way to control the higher end stuff then what they have....

Steve, 99 times out 100, I'm one of the 1st 5 in the game. I do not load in late, I normally load in early. I know what I was, and it was a Hummel kill before I even had my 1st round loaded in a 75MM in a PzIV. You may want to believe it cannot happen, but it can happen and it does happen. Believe what you will, I know what I've seen.

You're right. I don't believe it.

Yeah, as a P2P MMO they'd have to make a lot of changes like include some sort of PvE combat or open world PvP/PvE combat zones that just isn't solely tank vs. tank.  P2P shooter MMO's are almost non-existant (save Planetfall) because it's been clearly shown the consumer will not pay for a strictly PvP match MMO game.

For a F2P game with a limited micro-transactions, it's a good business model that's been proven.  If WoT sinks or swims, they can't blame it on the business model they've chosen.  One of the factors that lies in Wargaming.net's favor are the clan features of WoT that have pretty much turned into a meta-game within WoT, like the Risk like strategic game play of the Clan Wars system.

WoT is not a perfect game, such a thing will never exist.   But, for a FREE GAME, it is hands down the best FREE GAME I've ever played/come across.   It is in CLOSED BETA, this isn't a surprise, but some are pretending like it's "Live".

:rofl :rofl :rofl   If Bodhi, Steve, Baitman, DrDea, myself and others are on, you could sell the Vox alone as a webstream and it would rake in the cash.   

  That IS some seriously funny stuff right there. Frankly Im having a blast in this game. The Flamewarrior crowd is a riot to play with and theres never a dull moment. :salute

I was in Armor Divisions/Battalions much during my career as an 11C (Indirect Fire Infantryman for the civies :)). Providing Mortar (4.2"-107mm and eventually 120mm) fire support
for our M60's, then Abrams. Climbed in a few tanks in my day.
Always glad I wasn't a tanker. Glad I had to sleep in an icy, water filled mudhole, instead of the poor tankers who had to repair track in an icy, water filled mudhole.
We used to call them DAT's (dumb arsed tankers), then the Abrams came out with the computerized fire control/stab system. We called them CDAT's (Computerized dumb arsed tankers).
I've been out 15 years now.
Infantry was a hard road, but I miss it to this day,lol. My Class A's still fit. I've never taken my awards/badges off the jacket.
I'm sure there are many here who have been in a tank and understand tank maneuver.
With your avatar, I'm assuming you were Armored Cav.

PS- DAT    j/k
