Anyone else playing War Thunder? (MMORPG with WW2 Setting, Planes and Tanks allready included, Ships planed)
I'm divided about it... on one side it has potential... on the other hand it seems to be quite (hang me high... i aint the only one who thinks this) quite Russia biased... the Germans have 6 Tank trees of which only 3 (Heavy, Medium and Tankhunter) go further than tier 3 the other 3 are Panzerkampfwagen 38t (up to tear 3 with the hetzer), Panzer II (Start tank, stays in tier 1) and FlaKvehicles (up to tier 2) and you NEED 6 bought tanks to go into the next tier (btw the Panzer III is the precursor of the tiger... in the heavy tank line)... the russians have 4... of which most go into more tears... the Russian often get a Battle Rating decrease... germans get increased... both sides currently use the same optics (we know the Soviets had shit optics and the germans more or less the best optics...)... and something which i think WoT has made better: the tech trees itself: instead of buying a tank and then upgrading it with better armor and gun you buy a Panzer IV ausf. d... after taht ausf. F... F2... and so on...
I just love it if i hit a T-34 with my StuG III with the long barreled 7.5 cm gun or my Panzer IV F2 in to the side... the t-34 doesnt get destroyed and i get onehitted from the front
and afaik in the Air the Germans and the Japs are screwed
it has potential but... well... it needs lots of polishing... in their forums there a many threads about it... so... what's your opinion about it?... i have stopped playing after i read that the Simulator and Realistic battles got their rewards drastically decreased...
and now i have to say... i love the Jagdtiger... that 12,8 cm gun just feasts on those pesky T-54s and IS-4s... the only true german Tier V tank... and then there is this:

seriously considering the Maus....
and for the screwed thing in the quote... well since they fixed the machine cannons atleast the germans aren't that screwed anymore... 20mm Minengeschosse rip enemies apart!
on the other hand the 7,5cm Pzgr 39 was screwed up recently... it more or less has become a glorified Pzgr 40...
