World of Tanks

Tier 4 is a pain in the ass to break through, because the matchmaking system is silly and decides that some of the Tier 4 light tanks should be in Tier 8 battles, since they're "scouts". My leopard was dropped next to a IS-7 last time I played, which is ridiculous, since he, and almost every high level tank, has a longer sight range than I do.

i wish people would learn to protect the arti...3 of the 4 games I played in the last day the arti got flanked and wiped out.

Well, I finally broke down and downloaded it....playing around with the russian and german spg's

This reminds me so much of Men of War

except without the tactics you get from a RTS

I'm really hopeful that when they implement VOIP that tactics and teamwork will kind of explode into this game. There are just so many ways to work cooperatively and it's just hard to do it in text.

I imagine scouting will be alot more effective when you can tell friendly arty that your gonna spot out a cluster of enemies. And hopefully some coordinated pushes and tactics.

**Arreo** · 11-23-10, 09:21 PM

Yeah, and there can be some pretty cool baiting and bird dogging coordination action between medium/heavy tanks and TDs waiting in hiding.

What is the point of light tanks? Scouting? No. Speed? No.

Medium tanks have better armor, engines, treads, radio ranges... Light tanks are undoubtedly a waste of time at this point.

**Arreo** · 11-23-10, 09:47 PM

I disagree Lucky, once you get the Leopard, A20 or M7 they are useful as scouts. Other then that... not so much.

**Arreo** · 11-23-10, 09:52 PM

I mean the 75mm Gun M3L/37 that the M7 can mount is a beast.

EDIT: A great site that explains some of the numbers behind the game and lets you do comparisons is here: http://www.tarrif.net/wot/

Yes, I've linked to it before but with all this new blood they should hear about it.
