Felt like this needed it's own thread, for modern tanks and shit.

I did play it a little bit when i was round my Cousins the other day and to be honest i thought i would love it but i really don't, not sure why. Just feels weird and even the artillery mechanics aren't that great people say they're good but nope.
Don't get me started on the AI Artillery mechanics, i think it's been changed now though.
I'm happy i played it just to see but not a fan honestly.

Yeah, arty isn't perfect, but it is definitely a step up from WoT, I'd rather have some wanker consistently shoot me every 20 seconds for 100-300- damage rather than some ass hitting me for all my health, one shotting is a unhealthy and stupid gameplay mechanic, so I'm glad it's not in AW.

I didn't really get a chance to play it long enough to really know how much damage they did but if they did only 100-300 well that's great, I've never really mind artillery it's just the fact they can hit me for 1,000-2,000. I do like how it tells you're they've fired at you, not much of a warning but it's the thought that counts.

I've only had a quick whirl with it, but I didn't like it.

I like the faster speed of it, which gives it that more modern edge aside from obviously the tanks.

I like how accurate everything is. Minimal RNG as it should be.

Haha true, but it makes the game feel a bit more skill based. Like if you hit someone it's cos you aimed well and if you missed you either fucked up or the guy managed to dodge you. Instead of just firing off a shot and leaving it up to Stalin to decide whether or not your perfectly aimed shot hits or misses.

Yep, it relies more on your aim than some invisible bullshit weighting system. I mean yes you can heavily influence your shots in WoT, but nowhere near as much as you influence it in Modern Tanks Party.

I think that's what killed WOT for me, just got worn out relying on RNG to plCe my shot where I aimed it. been really tempted to try AW or WT but am currently trying not to get slaughtered in the EA of NA lol.

Nice to see ya Ruthless! and yeah, give them a go, you might like AW's modern tanks and less bullshit aiming, and WT's realistic mode, since tanks.

I think WOT killed my urge my tank games, been real busy with naval action. Been thinking about picking up Civilization 5 as well.

I didn't find it very interesting.
Some of my complaints were the description of the Soviet tanks as "T-series" tanks (The "T" stands for tank...), and the T-64 being represented only as the base T-64 (~1963-1967) when it was in service until the mid-late 1980's, with the T-72 having two versions for some reason.
Seems kind of incomplete to me, maybe I'll take another look in a few months and see if it has improved.

Yeah at the moment it's rough around the edges, with the optimization being out of whack and all, info like you said not being right. I want to like and play the game more, but it needs a big polishing effort.

I've tried it out, (~400 PVP games at tiers 3-4, where the game still resembles WoT).
+ Game economics seem a lot better than WoT, equipment doesn't cost a fortune at lower tiers and no premium ammo! + Premium tanks are cheaper and you don't have to buy garage slots. + Commander and crew skills are easy to get and capped at 5. No massive advantage for veteran players. - At first I thought the maps were well designed, but when I started playing them I quickly realized that they weren't for the type of vehicles and view ranges that are in the game. - Vehicle balance is non-existent, extremely OP MBTs roam the battlefields. Their main predators the TD's are rather gimped as they don't have any armor or alpha. The Soviet bias in WoT is nothing compared to AW. - Artillery mechanics are horrible. I went into the game expecting a skill based class but I found that it was far more luck based than in WoT and extremely annoying to play against if you front line. The artillery warning system does nothing but help players that camp far back and counter battery is pointless even though the position of the enemy artillery is revealed.
The game has PvE too, for those that prefer playing against mindless AI.

This is actually the one other Tanks game that has caught my interest. WT just seems like too much of a huge cluster.
