I find this game to be a good source for my weathering idea's for my ww 2 Armor models. It's really , really fun to play. Battle your way to research the Tiger I or Panther II...Russian IS-2
This is a multi-player game , you battle with other people around the world..form squads..or play the single player missions.
Plus it also has Airplanes!! You can get a Spitfire, ME-109 etc...even Lancaster Bombers!
You can play strictly Ground Forces or Air Force battles...during the ground battles..you get options to use artillery, to fly a bomber or fly escort for your teams bomber run..after that air engagement..you switch back to your tank view to continue the battle. Several battle modes...3 flag captures, 1 flag captures { heavy fighting} . The graphics & 3d models are great!!
Check it out! It's free!

Here is my Tiger I

Just downloading it now.I bet its free until you need to pay for upgrades.

I have played the game quite a bit before. Not so much now. The graphics are definitely better than WOT but the selection of vehicles isn't. Weathering is also much better than in WOT. And the graphics are better but still runs faster on my laptop than WOT too . I usually played the the air part of the game because the ground forces kept slowing up. Unfortunately the Russian aircraft branch are so much massively more OP than even the Russians in WOT. At least in WOT there's a way to get away from the tanks...

And Karl, the game is completely free unless you want a premium subscription or to buy more credits or gold things. Then it costs money. But if you don't want to buy any of that, then it's a completely free game.

Sorry to revive a 5 month old thread but better than creating a new one most likely.

I played this for a bit back when it was just the planes. Couldn't really get into it even though I did fairly well. Just never been an aerial type of gamer except helo's. Definitely prefer the ground game. Anyone now that Tanks are in this I will definitely be taking another crack at it. Especially since it is more realistic than WOT.

If anyone wants to play together some time, name is the same as my nickname here.
