Hopefully this will be a good enough reason to start playing again.
How about getting rid of the P2W shit? Seriously... I only make 1000 credits on a good match with my Pershing.
it looks very nice, the new maps. however the grind, pay to win items, and biased tanks make me not want to touch this game.
I've never seen this game as pay to win, many of the premium tanks are quite specialised and aren't killing machines.

And even then. It's still months of constant playing to get anywhere. [editline]9th August 2012[/editline] If you're lucky.
i want world of warplanes already
Even with Premium I had a hard time sticking to this game in the Closed Beta. This game caused me to go to Red Orchestra for tank battles.
[QUOTE=The golden;37157689]Gold ammo. Flat damage buff that can only be acquired by using real money. At leas, the last time I checked. That's what pay2win means.[/QUOTE] It's not damage buff. It's penetration buff - in 1v1 where both tanks can penetrate each other reliably and both penetrate all shots, the gold ammo gives zero advantage. Gold ammo can only help in chances when you are already undergunned or tier 10 clan wars where you actually can get gold for free - I never paid a cent and got gold ammo money from my clan.

I like how they always use Tier 8-10 tanks in trailers to reel in people

[QUOTE=JerryK;37157599]i want world of warplanes already[/QUOTE] Looking forward to World of Battleships more but that's a looooong ways off yet.

Does the Lee's turret work yet?
it should be noted that gold ammo does indeed do more damage- but only to modules. every module in your tank has a set amount of health; when it is depleted, the module is damaged/destroyed. Gold ammo does like 25% more module damage.
If they add that realism mode they mentioned (Men of War style penetration and such), they'll have a player. I don't mind using the same tank for a while if that system is put in place. The more arcade-y the shallower, the shallower the sooner I get bored of the same damn tanks which is only a bunch of numbers really with no soul.
