Review of World of Tanks (World of Tanks)

Tanks are not afraid of elves ... Still - 100 millimeters of armor against the arrows with magic perdelkami: an approach to the establishment of its MMO game developers have been of Wargaming.The online world of mass entertainment, densely overpopulated colorful humanoid creatures of varying degrees of long-eared, Belarusian men have decided to enter the tracks of their tanks, becausebrutal guys are not interested in anything except military subjects.And the name of the game for his chosen without reason: changed one word in the title of a series known to everyone all at once it became clear - massively online game, and play it will be oh how many people - 45 million registered users are proof of that.



The game World of Tanks is distributed by the system Free 2 Play, that is, anyone can completely free to create a user account on the official website of the game, download the client, set and go straight to the battlefield, to meet the same fans of military battles.
Install the game, you can quickly choose a tank from a small number of offered at the primary level, and immediately rush into battle.No long and tedious customization with age-old question - "Who would you choose?", As in conventional MMORPGs, there is not.Well, you can, of course, posravnivat characteristics of their first tanks, the real knowledge about this technique will help you choose the best option, but still start the car aroundequally bad, and in the first battles will play a crucial role not only the strengths of your tank as logical thinking and cunning.

In the first battle is not afraid of anything. The first battle in the game you will spend against the same novice tank, control absolutely the same fighting vehicles. Success will depend only on yourself.For example, you need to correctly use the landscape - it is known and checked on personal experience:leaving the central lowlands card surrounded by rolling hills, proudly cocked the barrel, do no good - you point smashed to smithereens and burn out will remain on the field. Lined tanks do not disappear before the end of the fight, which adds drama.
Also, you must always hide behind any suitable for the shelter, be it a house, a rock or another tank - pop out at the wrong time and the tower away.For more frighten the game operates the detection system.It works in the following way - as soon as you notice any of the opposing team - you sunbathe red dot on the map and display, which also shows the remaining levelthe strength of your tank (local analog CP), expressed as a percentage. This label is lost over time if you are a long time did not come to the attention of the opposing team.



Do not worry if you did not get to knock out an enemy tank, the experience accrued literally every action - the application of damage, destroying tanks allies who benefited from yourintelligence or even just for causing damage to them with your support. About theft Kills question is not: everything is clear and well thought out.
Returning to the above-mentioned strength, I want to note that it is the most important indicator in the battle. Once the magnitude of the strength drops to 0%, your tank is destroyed.To achieve this, oddly enough, perhaps even without the help of the enemy - should prove short-sightedness, or myopia, falling off a cliff as a stern voice tell you that your tank is destroyed.Or you may accidentally shoot your partner, but do not worry, in this case the game includes an option for reducing the points earned, so that re-injure his desire he did not appear.
I also found a more exotic way of suicide. Once, after a couple of not too successfully conducted fights, I decided to take the enemy's cunning.Seeing on the map the river, I wondered why no one uses this important strategic element and decided to cross the pond to go to the rear of the enemy and to shoot it all on cabbage soup, but do nothere it was.As soon as I went into the water, out of nowhere came the oxygen index of my crew (yes, imagine tanks operated by a crew of living people) began to decline rapidly ...I did not get what that couple of meters to the other side, when the same harsh male voice said with regret that my tank ignominiously drowned.
The crew is responsible for repairs during the fight and pointing at the target. The tankers train, the faster the tank will be repaired and shoot. With a number of different skills, they bring an element of strategy to the game, so the right choice Crew contributes to more rapid progress.



By means of a standard mouse and keyboard combination: an overview and shooting with the mouse, and the motion is scheduled for W, A, S, D.Mouse wheel adjusts camera distance to the tank, the game goes into third-person mode, and the SHIFT button turns on the first-which is required for easy firing.
Since the game is not a pure shooter, but success also depends on a number of characteristics, shooting is one feature.The projectile does not fly wherever indicates crosshair if there is not aimed a gun.Yes, the gun has its own scope, displayed a dotted circle, always follow your eye, but with some delay, because the tank can not be developed immediately.Each tank has its own tower rotation speed, and thus the rate targeting, which also depends on the readiness of your crew - what he experienced, the faster the gun sight grasps goal.
The usual battle going on at the simple scheme - all players are randomly divided into two teams of 15 people and provides a challenge to capture the enemy base, or to destroy all enemy tanks,that in most cases occurs.The random nature of the selection of the players leaves no opportunity to play the same composition again, because no matchmaking lobby there that can be written in the shortcomings of the game, but I think it isvery lucky find.See for yourself:It is presented in a random battle all kinds of art in a certain amount, it has not turned so that one team is entirely staffed by long-range self-propelled guns, and the other, for example, consists of a detachmentlight tanks, which will eventually lead to a very rapid defeat of the still heavy guns.It is convenient for the player, who was killed early in the match - it is not necessary to wait for the end of the match; you can safely get out, pick another tank (the one that was killed in battle becomes available again onlyafter the match, which took part - the information is updated Mode live) and go to new feats.



There is a function of creating his platoon by inviting friends. In conventional battle allowed to break no more than three, united platoon - for a large-scale battles, there are companies that are only available to players of premium accounts. So it's not time to talk about the most pleasant - a grandmother.
After each battle you are awarded experience points commensurate with the work done, as well as silver - the local currency, for which you buy a new car, repair the damage and get various improvements, while the experience is spent in their preliminary study.
In addition to silver, is present in the game, and gold, is another type of game money. Gold You do not earn their game, and buy for real currency.Methods of payment lot from plastic cards to different virtual wallets and SMS. For one US dollar give 250 gold.To understand it is expensive or not, here are a couple of examples: more or less decent tank, equal to the characteristics of this, which for a week to shoot a leisurely game costs 1500 gold and subscription premium for the year - 24,000.
What does the premium? Increased half times the experience and money for each fight, the possibility of creating mouth (without that of his clan can only dream), and other useful buns.
As for the purchase of cars, not all tanks are bought for gold, and the only unique, do not require a preliminary study, they do not have some kind of all-powerful features, but again give more experience and silver after each fight.
Silver and experience, by the way, can also be purchased for the gold.
So we'll have to invest if you want to get serious weapon at once - the developers did not lie, saying that the game can progress, without paying a penny, but it takes forever,do not forget: everyone wants to win, and so easy to make money on themselves will not be allowed. But Wargaming taken care of greedy amateurs freebies - you meet the players on the level, to measure the length of the barrel is unlikely to succeed.



Cannons is in the game big set. Presented appliances 5 countries: the Soviet Union, Germany, USA, UK and France. And also preparing to release a Chinese branch. Some instances of pre-war years, for example, MS-1, all the machines of the Second World and the first postwar years.
The tanks are divided into five classes:
- Light tanks moved quickly and recharged, but have weak armor and low strength, play the role of scouts (fireflies), ie reveal enemy positions, in the right hands can be extremely dangerous for the hulking heavy machinery, and absolutely lethal for the ACS;
- Heavy tanks: low reload speed guns and small mobility does not leave them a chance in Rasch, but high strength and thick armor simply pushing the player to their use for the defense of the points, ie as a 'tank' in the conventional sense of the IMO;
- Medium tanks: really mean everything, can take on the role of both light and heavy machinery;
- PT-ACS - incomprehensible to me the class implements. High damage done leveled extremely low mobility, since the tower of these machines does not turn, I could not find a use for them;
- ACS - this class is very different from all the others. Neither of which the free movement on the map and can be no question.Playing for such a monster with enormous damage (even heavy tanks can be taken out with one hit of the dinosaur), you need to dig deep and wait for data exploration, because aimingAnother scenario occurs:you can see the entire map from above, as in the strategy marked allies tanks are seen better than anyone else, but to get out of such weapons - that has the problem, because it takes aim well, a very long time.In general, the class for the most patient players. Checked: Each hit from ACS promotes the formation of involuntary 'trollfeysa' on his face.



The developers claim that all the machines correspond to the real models, not only in appearance but also in its technical characteristics. It is difficult to judge, not a professional, but the behavior of the simulation of combat vehicles clearly on top.
Animation, sound equipment made a very high quality, not for a moment doubt that the manager is a tank.Leaves trail of caterpillars on the ground suggests - and often there such a seemingly small change is found in other modern AAA titles?Thundering sound of the shot of the German E-100 deserves special mention - this is the thunder of heaven, the roar of Goliath, the main hit of the cage Stas Mikhailov, the absolute horror that is perfect for the role of sound design such thing as war. In short, all the soul.
The music in the game is very high quality and fits the game about the war, whether steel or themes Himmelsdorfa folk tune while loading maps robin, which inspires and correctly configures a fight - you can not shame the homeland.
Maps I counted about thirty - all with their own unique characteristics, and hence the tactics of the game.Here and deserts of North Africa and the Karelian forests, fields and even a native American city - that's how far our tanks has not yet been reached; and how nice to make this dream come true at least in the game - a rideiron treads through the streets apart here and there burgernymi yes suppress humpback machine!
