This is a 3D team-based massively multiplayer online game featuring historically accurate fighting vehicles from the 1930's to the 1950's. World of Tanks is a PvP-focused project that promises action and strategy based gameplay. It includes more than 150 armored vehicles from America, Germany, and the Soviet Union, carefully detailed with historical accuracy. All in all there will be around 500 vehicles available in the game including light, medium and heavy tanks, tank destroyers and self-propelled artillery and some well-known prototypes and low-volume vehicles. The game blends of action, strategy, simulation and MMORPG genres. It's the first game of Wargaming.net studio to be released under "Play 4 Free" model, which will see the game released for free with revenue generated from micropayments. Each new player will start a game driving a German or Soviet light tank. By gaining experience and credits, a user will be able to upgrade his tank or other unit to a heavier model. There will also be a chance to modify the existing tank by changing turrets, chassis, engines, guns, radios and various ammunition types and thus try a new experimental machine and increase the player's fighting potential. Every unit has about 10 modifications with different combat characteristics and all modifications are historically grounded. It has a "virtual" crew system with certain leveling options. With every new battle the crew gains more and more experience which leads to improved performance of your panzer on the battlefield. Items in the environment are destructable - buildings, hedges, trees, telegraph poles, cars, etc. If the engine suffers a 50%-damage – it works at its half power. The same goes about other modules of a tank. If the engine is broken – a tank stops and some repairs done by the crew is needed. There are three primary types of battles: random battles, team battles and clan battles. |
