For anyone who's interested Armoured Warfare is out for n Xbox today, it's another free to play tank game that's similar to WoT but modern (T62 is a tier 3). You get a load of crates at the beginning one of which gave me 240,000 free XP and a load of money, you can play PvE with other people too so you don't have to worry about asshat team mates ruining the game you can just farm the AI.
Any British people looking to get it just beware that they've spelt Armoured wrong and used the damn colonial spelling.

It's pretty funny how WT and AW's download sizes don't come anywhere close to WOT's 58gb, AW and WT combined is only 41gb

We all know the English were butchering the language before Americans freed themselves and improved it.

Nah, it just reminded me that I do spell a couple words differently. Although that's one of the only word I spell differently,I pronounce words like "Aluminum" like everyone else in America because when the British say it they sound like they just got kicked in the dick.

Armoured / Armored Warfare was fun on PS4. But. I dunno. On PS4 I think the fun died quickly for alot of people. I stopped playing a year ago, there was only 2 PvP maps, one was set in an abandoned Pact airbase in Europe (very campy) and the other a desert (Suez Canal) warf map which I enjoyed alot. So the 2 map PvP thing got old quickly. Alot of camping, and anyone that poked out got hammered badly, mainly on the airbase map as both spawns were up high overlooking the airbase. You'd thump new players on that airbase map from nearly across the map. Which for long term player retention in PvP was a very bad thing. Abd if you pushed you'd get hammered yourself. PvE is more popular that PvP on PS4 from what I saw. You can have platoons of 3 in both PvE and PvP. Artillery is a PvE thing only. Once upgraded certain vehicles can discharge smoke grenades. Smoke dischargers were a really useful addition to the game. 10 out of 10 would pop smoke again. You loose line of sight or the enemy tank outline(s) when you pop smoke. Great for relocating or protecting a low HP friend. The Abrams MBT is a fricken pain in the bum to deal with. Hard to move them when hull down. F U Chobbam armor XD The Chieftan is a slow (low HP engine) but glorious beast. I loved the Chieftan. Tanks sound epic and the crank up whine of a gas turbine engine (T80 T90 and Abrams) are really sweet. Apparently guided missile spam (ATGM) is a thing, I wasn't too good with them, mainly using cannon. I never got hit by them in PvP, but in PvE battles you'll encounter them alot. But overall, if it wasn't for the 2 PvP maps, I'd have kept playing. The company that owns the game have been accused of not doing much with the game. If it's launching on Xbox be vocal with them about it. I say this so you don't end up with only 2 PvP maps. I've seen players make the mistake in this game of assuming that "as it's modern" they can yolo. Beware of this. Mainly as you'll get smacked once or twice by a yoloing player who rushes you position. Playstyles and knowledge from World of Tanks carries over well to this game. I had little trouble other than getting into the groove of how the controls work. GG

I don't know enough about them, but I'm weary of anyone since WoT Console behaved the way they did. I'm liking WT a lot though so may drop a few more ££

I'm only doing PvE since I'm not high enough in tier to play PvP. I don't seem to have an option to change the difficulty in PvE mode like they can on pc. So its getting stale really quick.

I think from vague memory the PvE maps were tank tier locked. I think. And you can increase the difficulty. I don't have PS4 network access where I live otherwise I'd screen shot how to change the difficulty. On PS4 there were Tiers of difficulty you could select before starting the PvE mission and that would then place you in a starting lobby of others who would be playing at that difficulty.
A significant problem is when you're playing with randoms in PvE they often rush the objective and that will trigger enemy reinforcements. So you get swarmed, or you have a very difficult push to the objective. And the enemy reinforcements fight coordinated but on some maps suffer from a badly mapped movement path; some of the enemy bots will swarm into the objective circle kamikaze style and other bots will hang back and snipe. So it's easy to be caught off guard.
It's not so much a problem when you start out, you can camp a ridge to get spots and snipe (i'm thinking of the shot down cargo plane you have to secure, that right hand ridge from spawn you can easily follow and hit things at will) but on higher tier maps you'll be surrounded by industrial or urban sprawl so it's not at as easy or possible to secure your flanks.
