a MMOLG about WW2 tanks.

It's in closed beta right now, but they seem to be giving out keys in batches through gaming sites.


If you like tanks, check it out.

I have been in the beta for about a week, and it is a blast.

The dev is russian, so they started with German and Russian, they are working on American for sure, and Maybe Brit, french, and Japanese tanks. They showed a American tank tree in progress and it had all the US lights, the Grant/Lee and several M4s(Shermans), plus all the super heavies that didnt make it into the war.

The game is very fast paced for a tank game, in that as soon as you die you can leave the game and take another tank into a different battle. Your first tank and crew still get all their points and exp. I rotate through 4 tanks.


Right now they have Tanks, Tank destroyers and SPGs.

Sounds like a whacky good time. Will it be PC only?

Oh, man, thanks. WWII armor was one of my favorite things to play as a kid. I can still identify most of those tanks by sight, and give you some good specs. Might have to check this out.

Heh, its good stuff if you love tanks.

They have all kinds of interesting stuff you can buy and use, take your stock panther, to Panther a Panther prototype that never saw combat through upgrades.

Interesting concept. Trying to figure out how "cybering" will work in that game though (as I know it will happen). Maybe it's best not to think about it.
