Shelf the game (..as i did 3 months ago) and check this game out!

World of Tanks

It's a great game for killing time and the gameplay is AWESOME!

PS, I know how everyone feels about the the game not being completed (or as i call it.. a "PAY-TA".. ie, a game you paid for and expected to be completed, but is really just a BETA.)

There were only two planes invented by man, that would take me out of my Nieuport 28, IAR-80 and FW-190 and none of them are coming to RIse of Flight.

Have to admit tho. I was neglecting Rise of Flight for few months.

Real world can be such a bitch sometimes.

I've been playing World of Tanks since before launch (was a Beta-tester). It's enjoyable, but you'll have to deal with a LOT of idiots during the weekend.

If you ever find yourself on the US servers, look up Fjordmonkey (aka me) and toss me a word

In a nerdish place like this admitting that you like WoT is like saying you like Brittney Spears in an experimental Jazz forum

Still i do admit that I like it to for some fast arcade action in an interesting setting, and the tank models and number of tanks is rather impressive (even though many never got off the drawing board).

What sums up WoT though is that my 9 year old son has an IS3 and plays as well as most other players out there... He has a best score of 8 kills and regualarly score in the 1500 xp range. He still keeps a BT2 "as it's so fun playing with the noobs on tier 2 that don't understand tactics so you get 4-5 kills every other round". And most of those noobs are 15+ years

If he spent the same time in IL2 online he maybe would get to a 0.1 k/D ratio

"Problem" with WoT is that 90% is pure chance/toss up and 10% is skill.

To many things to list why that is but tactics in public matches for ex. is non existent unless u get lucky with the random team/match maker.

I haven't check it thoroughly but id bet that pretty much everybody has a 50/50 win/lose ratio or thereabouts.

The entire game is set up so it "forces" people to get the best in the thought that u would do better that way (meaning: pay alot of money if you aren`t very patient) when it in reality it makes no differance what so ever if u have the biggest and meanest tank around, u will still die if u are in the "utter moron team" against "i have 2 brain cells team".

Other than that its fun, lol

P.S. I have a IS-3 to

I agree completely, but after a tough day at work it's rather good to have some no brains action, and it definately fits me better than a death match in Modern Warfare...

Regarding tactics it's really true that it's amazing how bad people cooperate in WoT. I have played platoon with my son and a friend of his to try to teach them how to play (and they naturally love when dad joins their ranks) . We have used teakspeak and when I lead and the kids follow orders we can wreak havoc on most occasions. I remember one time when we all had our Leo's and where in the upper level of a match (rare with the Leo but if a platoon of three joins it's not that rare) .... I got five kills, my son got five and his friend got one and a lot of damage. We practically won the game on our own by staying real tight and keeping the number of enemies able to return fire simultaneously low. And that was with two nine year olds and a slow 41 year old

And yes, I have an IS3 myself

Just got the BL9 with gun laying drive, stabilizer and rammer. You can't have a worse tank than the kids so a lot of gold naturally went into getting it using all shortcuts they cleverly put in to get our real money

It's good that I can use my son as an excuse to play it, and I hope my wife does not understand how much gold we have bought...
