Should've got the client in advance. Well, it's just an hour's download on 2Mb anyway.
I think I'll go for a KV. Soviet tanks seem to be easy mode, and Panzerwaffe is all about speed, accuracy and range.

Yeah, it's good. 10 noob battles done, two frags. I have to grind through 8 or so more (about an hour) before I can afford a tank (instead of the first-level 20mm-armed tractor). It's a lot of fun, with driving around hull-down, ambushing, a bit of teamwork (SUM1 GO LEFT & SPOT ARTY, I SAID LEFT YOU FUCKS) and some realism (the damn tractor cannot into swamps. Or uphill.)
There aren't real RPG elements so far, you just unlock chassis and systems from a large tree with XP from the fighting, then install them for credits. XP is abundant, creds take some grinding.

Jesus, that's not a tank sim, that's a WW2 themed Twisted Metal.
Did every single tank in the gameplay trailer fire on the move?
Also,
I rest my case.

From what I've seen, light tanks reach 35-40 km/h on flat dry ground. It feels too fast, I agree. Firing on the move is inaccurate, but hey, ace crews could do it IRL. There's some autoaiming, but you have to enter "scope mode" and adjust your aim manually to pull off good shots.

Korgan waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were artys in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel СМЕРШ were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway. Korgan was a light tank for fourteen battles. When he was young he watched the fighting and he said to dad "I want to be on the Tiger daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE SHOT BY ARTYS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the Prokhorovka base of the Wermacht he knew there were artys.
"This is СМЕРШ" the radio crackered. "You must fight the artys!"
So Korgan gotted his 45mm and drove through the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the artys.
"I will shoot at him" said the ISU and he fired the rocket missiles. Korgan shot at him and tried to blew him up. But then the connection fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the artys" he shouted
The radio said "No, Korgan. You are the artys".
And then Korgan was flowing in creds.

Artillery is extremely powerful due to perfect modern fire control. You open the top-down sights, aim at a likely area and, as long as there's someone spotting for you, everything that stands still for 3 seconds and isn't a heavy tank goes boom. Hard to get those idiots to cover you, though.
Shitty arcade game is shitty.
I love how all the trailers show tanks rolling along, firing on the move. Unfortunately, most (all?) WWII tanks didn'\t have stabilized guns so it would be impossible to hit anything.

What's the sense if having artillery if there's no infantry? I'm no expert, but I'm fairly certain artillery back then wasn't much of an anti-tank weapon. It wouldn't destroy a tank without a direct hit, and good luck getting one.
Also how does the gameplay work? Are there "instances" in which you have various objectives to take? One team defends another attacks? Does it affect a larger campaign map?
How gnarly are tigers? And how gnarly is the MAUS!?!

It has super accuracy now, about 3m scatter radius over a kilometer when fully aimed. No need for ranging yet.overtenemy said:
No campaign implemented yet. Just one battle type, capture the enemy base, 15 players per team.
Tigers reportedly kick ass once you upgrade them with the 88. The Maus is statistically inferior to IS-7 (the player-controlled raid boss machine of doom), but more powerful then everything else. Not sure what its strong points are, I've only ever seen one.
The ISU-152 is the top-tier Soviet TD. Pretty killy, but there are more Ferdinands around (the German top tier) as they're better armored.
So does it follow some sort of artillery > heavy tanks > med/light > artillery triangle with tank destroyers somewhere in the middle? Or can you take out a heavy with a medium tank, even if the heavy driver isn't a complete retard.

Yeah, if you're driving around fast. They simply can't turn the turret quickly enough. Will take time, though, especially with an IS. A 50-70mm gun can hardly penetrate even their rear turret.
Also, nice how some components cross over. E.g. the basic 70mm gun from my tier 3 howitzer can also be used to upgun the tier 3 light tank, which makes all the difference.

Been grinding again, just got a T6 medium tank. It's pretty easy once you learn the maps, as the manboons are very predictable. Probably won't make it to Panther before the end of beta, though.
