New addiction ... World of Tanks

been playing for about a week. Lots of fun ... covers most of the pre WWII through WWII tanks for Germany, Russia and the US ...

Easy to play and it's free ... for now.

It's free until the 12th of April, then you have to buy it. It's a rather good game, except that it takes a very long time to get decent tanks without buying gold. Also, it has "fantasy" tanks that are very powerful for Germany and Russia. The US doesn't have anything to counter them, and is explicitly lacking any tank destroyers (especially the m18, which would be extremely powerful on the field.

However, the battles are country neutral, and randomly assigns teams, so you'll only miss those vehicles if you want to play pure US tanks.

For tank selection, it is pretty decent. I don't agree with the entire tech tree (a Pershing is a medium tank? Since when?) But you aren't relegated to the "status quo" of each nation (Germany isn't all panthers and tigers, USSR isn't pure T-34, and US isn't Sherman madness).

All in all, it's a game worth checking out if you have the free time.

I just made an account and I must say there is a pretty steep learning curve, at least for me. Nine battles so far and I've only been able to score one kill, survived three battles and the rest I was killed. I must say I like this game, thanks.
