Who needs a human avatar when you can just roll around in a tank all day? That's the idea behind World of Tanks, a new MMO wargame simulation that's putting players behind the pedals of over 130 tanks in World War II.
The game appears to be another hybrid title, meshing a tank simulation with an RPG, as you can upgrade and modify your tanks to your heart's desire. Up to 60 players can roll across an instance at once, and the game will feature a territory control system that sounds like Global Agenda's conquest mode.
Free to play, level your character to gain access to more tanks. Paid premium account will unlock some tanks, but not the best ones(those are reserved for players who actually play the game).

Confirming that my ceptor was killed by a terrestrial shell from a German Tiger last night in Amamake. Now not only do we have to deal with piwats, we have to look out for planetside gravity-defying projectiles?
eg: the front armor is thicker than back armor, like in real tanks?
yes..i read somewhere in the forum...it said you can flank your enemy for better damage, but you need a friend to distract the enemy.... armor: front > side > back
There's also artillery (one of the gameplay videos shows a player seeing the field from a google earth perspective, I think that's the artillery shooting mode)
