Note WoT does not even have internals (cockpits).. It is all done from externals..

And don't forget the RO guys! The only reason I got RO and RO2 was for tanks.. And from the videos thus far CoD's tanks are as realistic as RO and RO2 tanks..

And don't forget the WWII Online guys.. Same as RO and RO2, CoD looks to be on par wrt realism. So there are alot of other games CoD could pull memebers away from.

I don´t see WoT getting old fast... They have a small game that can be easily upgraded ( and they are doing it a lot ) with a incredible big point being free. I think CoD is going to get old much faster as it gets a lot more work to upgrade and patch ( we know this very well ). About the realism... they are talking about the tank gameplay is going to be arcade and what I see in the video feels a lot like an old graphics WoT really. I don´t think they plan to have tanks interiors. So no, it looks like the tank gameplay is not going to be "sim"... and that´s my post about.

Well I guess we will have to agree to disagree.. But there is still RO, RO2, WWIIOnline that CoD with tanks could attract imho.

And of course WoT is adding WoWP (World of WarPlanes) soon... so there is that

But will they both be able to play on the same map and the same time?

Not many details yet, but they hinted at being able to have a WoT clan request an air strike from a WoWP clan, so not really sure, but I think they want to be able to combine the 2 at some point... in some way...

Ah ok, so in essance CoD is going to beat them to the punch.. Compitition is a wonderful thing!

Dont get me wrong, i love tanks as much as the next guy!
BUT if i wanted to play tanks surley i would buy a game that actually works and not keep flogging a dead horse just because its there?
So i can only assume there were no fixes in the patch and that you were just adding content to game most people cant even play for longer than 10 minutes at a time?

Another thing I don't get in this thread, "I don't like this new direction CloD is taking". New?! what is new? Did anybody look in the control setup after they installed the game for the first time almost a year ago? Surely that must've been a hint of what would come. Nobody can seriously be surprised by drivable tanks and playable flak. MG clearly have a much wider scope than most people on this forum can wrap their heads around and I think some people should do a reality check. Does anybody in here seriously think that odd couple of hundred active members on this forum are the prime target group for this sim? Delusional....

LOL. Let's not start "high fivin" and throwin babies in the air just yet. As they said, it might not make it into the sim. It's not unheard of for them to show us cool vids of features that never arrive. *cough* dynamic clouds/weather *cough*

Who said this? The developers haven't as far as I can see. There is selectable ammo types (look top left) and what looks like grouping in flak. We will have to wait and see.

We've already seen interiors in video two (controllable vehicles)- you can see inside the armoured car interior when driving, same with the car. Bren on top is in a turret that is modelled.
