War thunder tanks

Sooo I've been playing War Thunder ground forces....gotta admit I like it a lot. There are no invisible tanks, You fight at proper tank combat ranges, the tanks themselves feel much better.

Also - since its all about penetrating hits and not about hit points, you stand a decent chance of killing something big with something small. I mean - let's be reasonable - only ways for you to nail a 2-3 tiers bigger tank in World of Tanks are kill stealing. In War Thunder its doable. Yes, it takes luck and tactics and a little bit of daring but your dinky panzer III can take out a King Tiger on its own.

The way artillery works could use some fixing - especially the time delay - its too short. its a great way to remove campers though and you need to get close to be able to deliver a precise strike.

Behold the competition! (Warning - picture heavy!)

And oh, its a fierce one! Initially, Wargaming had to play catch up with World of Warplanes standing up to the already popular War Thunder. Now the tables have turned and Gaijin has to try and take on an already developed and popular World of Tanks. Well, the screenshots show who did his homework better.

 The devil is in the detail as many people say, and well - the rifled gun of the War Thunder KV-2 steals the cake.

How about the Night panther? (thats an infrared projector on top - for night vision)

  Notice the sooth on the IS3 muzzle brake - now that gun has seen some use!

 Unlike this one....



 Well then. Its too soon to write WoT out - they are in for a major HD graphics update, but at the moment, War Thunder simply does it better and that's not good for Wargaming. They were resting on old glories for too long and now the runner up has finally caught up with them. WoWP should have been a rude awakening.  The way they keep trying to force it to us on the WoT portal shows how bad things are.
