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 ££ Have they said when they're doing a full release for WT? I'm currently unable to play because its in early access. All they've said is later this year.

Correct spelling is used in-game. None of this "queen's english" crap. Dilly Dilly!! You Monarchists can't even pronounce Aluminum properly But don't you ungreaful colonialists spell it Aluminium? You know, wrong. And don't get me started on how you pronounce Route.

We spell it 100% correctly...along with armor, color, honor, airplane, agonize (or pretty much anything with a "z" instead of a "s"), almanac, ax, etc.

I toyed with AW for about 20 mins. Nearly a direct port from PC.
Meh. Will screw around more later. Stick to WoT and WoWs for now, for the most part.

Just got the Leopard 1. Decided to do an upgrade, found out when you use your reputation (same as xp in wot)to research it also goes towards your progress to your next tank!!! Guess I didn't need to grind through the M48 stock after all. I also don't see vehicle slots. So I guess I don't have to worry about how many tanks I have. I might actually renew my xbox live to play this more! The controls and PvE took a minute to get a hang of but right as I was about to give up I got 12 kills! Really liking it so far. Also the wheeled AFVs are fun too! Another thing, you can test drive vehicles before reseaching and buying them (this includes premiums too) on the test grounds!

Jingles on Youtube has done a few Armored Warfare videos that you might benefit from as well. He also explains a few PvE maps from all the different type perspectives. He also explains quite a few Bot spawn traps on the PvE maps that are very helpful to know about. Worth a watch. I only got up to the first T-80 variant and BDM 2. Both fun vehicles. The Chieftan I enjoyed alot but it has the weak multifuel engine the Brits used as it's power plant. Are you enjoying the Leopard?

The Leopard has been a fun tank so far. I like how fast it is, it'll leave the others MBTs behind if I just take off. The gun seems to handle pretty good too. I just unlocked the OF 40 last night. Also been working the AFV line from the same arms dealer. I'm at the XM800T LAW which is a blast to play as long as you're careful. Thanks for telling me about the videos!

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 Yea I'm not really caring for the game right now. 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. You can change difficulty after Tier 4

Holy crap the OF 40 is a fucking steaming pile of shit compared to the Leopard 1. Everything on this tank sucks! Shit gun handling, turret treverse, armor, speed, I guess the only thing it's good for is spotting. Can't wait til I get the next one!

I like in this game how, despite not having a premium account, you can still feel like your grinding out some progression in your earnings. 15 kills is pretty good. It depends on your team too, one some of the PvE maps you can really farm the bots Have you tried switching out your commamder for another commander? It may make the OF play slightly different. I never went down that tech line so I could be talking out of my ass too

I never went down that tech line so I could be talking out of my ass too I haven't tried a different Commander but I only have two, the other one specializes in AFVs and scouting so I doubt she'll do well in a MBT. I did notice yesterday how tanks weren't such a mind numbing grind. I'm almost done with the CF 40. I just need to make sure I save up for the next one but I don't think it will take long. Not 3 days of grinding premiums like I had to for some tanks on WOT. I looked at the official forum for this. There seems to be a disconnect issue. I've been disconnected but only after battles so it never bothered me much. What does bother me is all the crybaby whiny ass WOT players screaming for PvP.

I've been disconnected but only after battles so it never bothered me much. What does bother me is all the crybaby whiny ass WOT players screaming for PvP. I'm not sure, but you can recruit other commanders. I think unlocking different tanks allows you access to different commanders. I don't want to be seen selling Jingles, but he mentions it in one of his AW basic videos. If I had PSN i'd jump on and confirm how you do it. All I have atm is Kerbal Space Program XD XD The chick commander is pretty solid as a recon / fast tank commander. She has good skill synergy with her 2 other crew members. I know my T-80 has a Russian tanker looking guy in it who's skills are suited for a fast medium. The commanders I felt helped push the tanks forward a bit more, but I noticed there's not many of them. PvE's popular because you can really grind out your tanks, and get paid well and if you want you can then go play PvP in your newer tank. I enjoyed PvE immensley. The disconnection bug is still a thing? It was happening on PS4 as well. As long as when you disconnect the game remembers your credits and exp earned PvP has had some issues in the game, and from what I saw playing it is that PvP is quite campy, with only 2 PvP maps (1 year ago on PS4 - may have changed) things got stale really quick repetition wise. You'd unlock the T-80 MBT and drive to the same areas you would drive to in your T-55 or T-62. So after awhile, coupled with modern weaponry, no one really tried any thing different - you'd get nuked hahah. So the gameplay lost vibrancy. "Awhile" wasn't that long on PS4, say 2-3 weeks after free-to-play release people were going AFK in spawn after a few minutes, having given up after dying a few times. This started to happen quite a bit, but these were players who actively contributed in the battle, then seemed to have gotten fed up and went AFK. Another issue, from what I've read on their forum, is the games still in Beta. Coupled with zero advertisement from the owners of the game; so there's no new players coming into the game, and the low to mid tier PvP is not being populated by these people. Oh on PS4 your server locked too. Now that sucked. In WoT I'd play on the old Asia server until say 10pm, then switch to the NA server to keep playing once the server pop dropped low. The boys / girls in NA would be just waking up. In AW you can't do that, so a low server pop means your screwed if you want a fully crewed side in PvP.

Did you have to wait til tier 11 for PvP on PS4? The server thing is interesting too. I don't have a server choice either. On the wait til tier 10 on PvP I have this theory. It might help gameplay. I git tired of WOT simply becuase of asshate team mates that didn't know how to play. Now you have to learn the game in order to play other players. Really dedicate time, patience and learn skills in the game before you earn the right to play other players. It could also be a player population thing too. I know I can buy another commander with gold or whatever but I'm holding off on that. I just wonder how far its going to go gamewise. If it's dead on PC and appears dead on PS4 then what can I expect on Xbox?

If it's dead on PC and appears dead on PS4 then what can I expect on Xbox? Tier 11 for PvP? No way, it was PvP straight away I think. I remember seeing M41 Walker Bulldogs and the PT-47 amphib tanks on the Airfield map. It might have been 1 tier locked or something, but I def remember starter tanks playing on the map. The Suez Cannal / desert map was tier locked however. The locked server restriction is woeful. It stops you from playing on a populated server, when your home server is quiet. I never paid real money on AW, I learnt from WoT, but I do remember unlocking a free commander along the PT-47 to T-80 line. There's been a bit of conflict between the publishers and owner of the game. Essentially the origional developers wanted to have a game different to the WoT model, whereas the new publishers are pushing the game towards the WoT cash cow model. I have no idea why AW doesn't advertise. That alone has blown my mind. Wargaming is splurging on Superbowl ads and chicks standing next to Shermans whereas AW goes live and there's crickets; not even the crickets were paid lol, they were waiting at a bus stop. No idea why they're still in Beta. I was really hoping that this game would challenge the WoT / Wargaming way of conduct. It honestly reminds me of the online game Ark. They'll milk it so far, officially "release" a patchy game, and just focus on new content, whilst ignoring the founding player base / existing problems. Ark made alot of money...but AW seems to be in limbo.

Thats a bummer. I guess I'll be happy they ported it to xbox. I dodn't think it would get this far honestly.
