The game is better than world of tank. World Of Tanks: Virtual Heroes. Technique and its research

"The morning was good, but it did not go thank God" ...

After a sleepless night due to a cold, I suddenly became bored, and since getting out of bed with a temperature is not the best solution, I set off on my mobile phone to freely swim through YouTube video spaces, like Captain Jack Sparrow in his time in a cozy cabin "Chernaya pearls" went in search of "What this key opens."

Well, since I, overcoming a severe sore throat, still got out of bed to write this, then where are there without women, right? Therefore, catch it so that it doesn’t turn out as if you opened and read the article in vain.

By the way, if you want to study this beauty in action, then you can easily see her in the game Dead or Alive, well, or on a famous porn site in the 3D section, but I continue.

So, while watching various videos on YouTube, I came across a tank guide from the World Of Tanks game. And I would have scrolled down to get to the funny cut of "Cubes" with cats, but I was damn surprised by the number of views (here I am blatantly lying, nothing surprised me, just for some reason today I decided to look into this phenomenon). Well, of course I looked. And you know what? then i reinstalled the game client. Why again? It’s just that I drooled into tanks a long time ago and even donated due to my stupidity, justified by age. Played one fight, took first place out of two teams in terms of damage dealt, and still lost. I realized that nothing has changed. Deleted the game from my lovely PC....

Yes, my PC is a girl...

Therefore, to answer the question posed in this article with the help of a direct study of all visible and invisible game mechanics, a scrupulous analysis of trends on YouTube, I cannot give in to my weak organism (and impudent laziness), then I will have to limit myself to my ancient experience in this game and logic. I hope you don't curse me for being so careless.

So why is World Of Tank so popular and in demand?

There is only one answer. Because World Of Tanks is a good game. I know, I know that most readers have the opposite opinion on this matter, and therefore, in order to soften your punishment, I will make a small clarification: "World Of Tanks is a good game if you have extra money and you can't play faster shooters." - "Shooters? When did tanks become shooters?" - You ask, and I will answer that this game was originally a shooter, just very, very, very slow and casual. Now I will explain why.

The word "Shooter" is translated as "Shooter". Previously, in the CIS, we called this genre - "Shooter". The genre was so named as the word fully describes the gameplay of this category of video games. That is, it means that if the game has a shooting mechanic, then it is a shooter. And in tanks, as you understand, you can shoot and not only. However, due to the fact that the time of destruction of the enemy, unlike, say, Kolda, is simply increased to infinity, this instance is probably the slowest shooter. There are, of course, analogues, but we are not talking about them.

Due to this game design decision, World of Tanks has a very low entry threshold in relation to the skill of the player. Since tanks at medium and higher levels have a number of hit points in the range of 1100-1900, and the average weapon damage is 300 points (this is not an exact figure, but an estimate, taking into account LT and AT), the time that is given to the player to make a decision and to take any kind of response is simply colossal.

This is the first plus for World Of Tanks, which allows not only relatively young gamers to realize themselves, but also allows relatively old "uncles" not to bother too much and play for their own pleasure.

The second minus and at the same time a plus is donat. Wargaming is probably the most greedy studio after Mail.ru with their Allods. Everyone is well aware of the "gold shells", which are always better than standard ones. Yes, now they are also bought for silver, but still at an exorbitant price. It only got worse, because before, if you had money, then you could easily buy "gold" for real and handed it out in battle to the right and to the left. Now, even a donator needs to farm silver, and in order to do this quickly and efficiently, then buy a premium account, which increases the earnings of silver and experience by 50 percent and, most importantly, premium tanks. Which, by the way, also have a 50 percent increased farming ability. Well, if earlier at the start of the game there were no more than a dozen premiums, now you can make a separate and largest branch in the game from cars bought for real. So it turns out that Tanks is a very expensive game, although it is distributed through the Free to Play system. And if you are already a 30-40 year old uncle and you have nowhere to put your money and you don’t understand other games, then this game is for you.

But in fairness, I’ll say that you can play WOT without investments, but you have to constantly zadrotit. Moreover, wargaming has become generous with various promotions, which periodically raffle off premium tanks and consumables that increase your earnings. And my personal opinion, as a person who has a premium in the hangar, I will say that I play, sometimes I played ... Not without discomfort, of course, but not without simple pleasure either.

So, with the game itself, it seems, they figured it out. Now to the WOT sector on YouTube.

Here we will think logically. A lot of views on thematic channels means a lot of people who are interested in the World of Tanks game, which means a lot of people play World Of Tanks. Of course, I heard that online drops over time, but judging by YouTube, the game remains in the tops in the CIS. Videos and streams of leading bloggers get hundreds of thousands of views, and sometimes millions. I think there is no need to describe the picture in detail. And so everything is clear.

Let me summarize.

Now the game World Of Tank stands apart in the gaming industry. And given the military tank mechanics and gentle gameplay, it becomes clear why WOT is so popular in the CIS.

Well, I hope I have outlined the situation a bit and it has become clearer to you why people play World Of Tanks.

Good luck. And wish me luck too, otherwise it seems to me that I will die ...

Here is my favorite woman from Warcraft 3 for last:

The Belarusian tanker simulator is rightfully recognized as the best game in the genre. Hundreds of servers have been opened around the world, millions of accounts have been created, dozens of clones have been launched ..

The most successful games similar to "" - in this collection.

1. War Thunder - in the sky, water and air

Domestic developer Gaijin Entertainment managed to cram tanks, planes and ships into one game, seasoning this mixture with an eye-pleasing picture and historical accuracy of technology. "" turned out to be dynamic and not particularly lagging behind the main competitor.

Video: War Thunder trailer

Take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier, dodge tracers, escort a tank column, fire on fighter jets from the ground in night mode, and try a dozen other things that are impossible in classic Tanks.

2. Armored Warfare: Project Armata - cutting-edge technology in the near future

Brand new, stylish, as if just off the assembly line "" uses the Cry Engine 3 engine, thanks to which it demonstrates an excellent picture with sun glare on the armor of a self-propelled unit and shell fragments flying to the sides.

3. Tanki X - another future, this time in the browser

For those who have no time to download the client and are too lazy to deal with the features of the technique and its pumping, reading carefully which is better, the Tiger or the Panther, there is "" - the most casual timekiller with quick fights in the browser.

Nothing superfluous, no troubles with tactics and daily pumping, just a nice-looking tank simulator for offices and weak cars.

Video: trailer for the game Tanki online

She continues to develop and is not going to retire yet. Nothing surprising - the game is dynamic, exciting and completely different from the Belarusian project.

5. Ground War Tanks - browser copy from the hardworking Chinese

No, what are you, the Chinese toy "", published by Mail.ru, is not at all a copy of "WoT". It's just that the theme is the same, the technique is identical, and the interface of the hangar with the battle is copied almost one to one. But in the browser!

Video: Ground War: Tanks trailer

It looks, of course, like a game for a smartphone, but with an adequate team of allies, it can deliver a ton of fun without stuffing your head with unnecessary tactics and historical information.

6. Armor MMO - another answer to "Tanks" and "Airplanes"

The project "", like "War Thunder", combines water, ground and air equipment, offering players to fire tanks at aircraft and sink huge warships by dropping bombs from a height. But the graphics and the amount of content do not yet correspond to the stated prospects.

At the time of this compilation, the game is still in the testing stage, which means that there is hope that serious work will be done on optimization, balance and image quality and something will come of it.

7. Metal War Online - pieces of iron from a futuristic world

A serious project with interesting gameplay and unusual futuristic combat vehicles. We recommend it to those who like the main idea of ​​the genre, but want small deviations from the classics.

8. Badland Bandits - stylish steampunk on rusty wrecks

Rusty tin cans with turbo boosters, helicopters diving on top of them, and insane constructions assembled from junk. No, "" is not "Tanks", there is much more drive, dynamics and life here.

Video: trailer for the game Badland Bandits

There is a variety of classes and maps, the picture is on top, there is enough online - what else do you need?

You can say for a long time that the copy will never surpass the original and Tanks will always remain the best in the eyes of the fans, but why get hung up on one game when there are so many interesting things around?

Before starting the game, each player faces a painful choice: which tank is better to choose? Yes, the choice is not easy, because your victory directly depends on it. To win, you need to choose a good tank. But how to choose it and which tank is the best in the game? Which tank will lead you to victory?

The player is presented with a huge arsenal of military equipment, from which you must find the most suitable one. Tanks are different in size, power, and type, so comparing them with each other is not so easy. As the saying goes: "How many people, so many opinions", so the tank that for one will be the best, for the other will not be anything special. We will not argue with you, it is certainly up to you to decide. But still…

Nevertheless, we want to introduce you to our Top 10 ranking. the best tanks World of Tanks. Although it is difficult for us to compare tanks with each other, because sometimes they are completely different from each other, but still, our rating will be very useful for someone. If you still cannot make a choice in the direction of one or another tank, then perhaps you will heed our advice and make the right choice, which will bring you the coveted victory in a tank battle.

10. FV215b (183)

The Crown of British Artillery is a deadly weapon in the hands of a skilled player, as 1750 damage from a single shell is enough to destroy any Tier 9 tank. But the greatest efficiency is achieved exclusively when using gold shells, so people who do not have a couple of farm tanks in the hangar should not recommend this instance.

9.

Artillery is also on the ninth line in the ranking of the best World of Tanks tanks, only French-made. Distinctive features from classmates are high accuracy and aiming speed, as well as a drum for 4 shells. However, it is worth remembering that when playing the Art Sau, you should constantly change your own location so as not to become an easy prey for your opponent, but, fortunately, maneuverability and a powerful engine allow you to do this.

8.

The best of the Soviet medium tanks in the game allows you to use tactics similar to the tactics of tank battles of the Great Patriotic War. Thanks to your speed and flexibility, you can attack the enemy from cover with lightning speed, spin him around and destroy him. But a head-on collision or a stop for at least a couple of seconds will be fatal for you - the tank is extremely weakly armored.

7. KV-1

We've ranked the best Tier 5 heavy as the seventh best tank in WoT because of its ability to literally execute its classmates, most of which are simply unable to penetrate it. If we talk about vehicles of lower levels, then he clicks them like seeds, moreover, he can defeat even tanks of levels 6-7, but only with a high-quality position and the support of allies.

6.

One of the best anti-tank self-propelled guns in the game. Many consider it unbalanced and constantly demand deterioration of its characteristics. There is some rationalism in this thought, because, dealing 750 damage per shot, it remains almost invisible, but it is worth remembering that the maneuverability of this unit is almost zero - given that even a heavy tank can spin it, comments are superfluous. It is also worth noting the weak armor of the sides and roof, but the front sheet is not only extremely dense, but also provides a large number of ricochets.

5.

Perhaps, each player "ignited" after this unit appeared literally from nowhere, and then destroyed your tank in just a few shots. Yes, a vehicle from the World of Tanks list of the most powerful tanks can cause a lot of trouble, because it is a tank destroyer that has a rotating turret and excellent maneuverability, which allows it to change its deployment point with lightning speed. Artillery has no chance at all against it, even being at the bottom of the list, the "kitty" creates significant problems for its opponents, playing in the style of a light tank with a high-explosive gun.

4.

We sincerely wanted to do without metaphors, but there is no other way to describe this car: imagine a mixture of a racing car with a turret with a powerful weapon with six charges in the drum, capable of turning any combat unit into ashes (Tier 10 tanks are no exception). However, a tank acquires such a look only in capable hands, because it cannot be hidden in the bushes due to its impressive size, and even a tank of the third level can inflict critical damage on it.

3.

A machine equipped with a drum was able to climb so high in the ranking - the fastest and most powerful tanks in World of Tanks, only thanks to its own magical tower. Despite the extremely weak armor, shells of enemy vehicles fly off from it like a tennis ball from the wall, only scratching the skin. And add to this a rotating turret, 4 projectiles that deal a total of 1600 damage, fast targeting, and you obviously don’t want to have such a unit among your opponents.

2.

We can state with confidence that the frontal armor of this tank is almost impossible to penetrate, and in response it gives you 3 shots of 750 damage each from its drum, after which it calmly rolls back into cover, joyfully watching the burnt hull of your tank. Even inexperienced players are able to achieve significant success with this unit, but it is worth keeping a distance of 200-300 meters so that attackers cannot target the thin hatch above the gun.

1. KV-1S

In addition to high-quality characteristics and a convenient gaming style, this machine receives gold in the ranking and the title - the best tank World of Tanks also because it is extremely fun to manage. Judge for yourself: rational angles of inclination allow you to reflect most shells, an excellent engine provides the ability to quickly move around the battlefield, always finding yourself in the right place, a cannon that destroys almost any tank below the sixth level with one shot - is there anything else you need for a comfortable game?

The fastest and most powerful tank World of Tanks | Video

World of Tanks is an online client game in the arcade tank simulator genre. The developer of the game is the Belarusian studio Wargaming. At the very beginning, there were not so many tanks in the game and only two nations were present: the USSR and Germany. All tanks were from World War II. But over time, the branches of tank development went far forward and a huge number of vehicles appeared after the war era, so now it is no longer possible to say with absolute certainty that the game is completely dedicated to the Second World War.

The game is a group battles between players. On average, each battle does not last long and during one real day you can safely play several dozen battles. Immediately after registering in the game, you will have access to several tanks of the first level of different nations and there will be several free places in the hangar for new tanks. In order to start the game, you just need to select the tank you like and click the "Play" button. At the same time, the game will very quickly select a match that is suitable for the level and skill of the players and the battle will begin. On average, waiting for the start of the game takes less than a minute and this is very pleasing. In case of a quick death, you do not need to wait until the end of the battle. You can safely go to the hangar, choose another tank and go to a new battle. While you are playing on the second tank, the battle on the first one will just end and you will receive silver and experience. There is no single player company in the game, that is, you will always have to fight with real players. The only thing that is available besides fighting with other players is a small tutorial in which you will learn all the basics and be able to quickly understand the gameplay. In general, we can say that the game is very friendly to the novice player. You do not need any special skills from shooters or special strategic thinking. Any beginner can drive a tank and go shoot the enemy. At the first levels, unusual tanks will be waiting for you, or rather cars, which sometimes don’t even look like a tank. I think a lot of novice players imagine a tank from the modern era, but at the very beginning, tanks were really peculiar, until they became what we see them now. In particular, due to such a variety of tanks, the game is also of particular interest. In other words, you can roughly trace how tanks developed, how engineers came up with new technologies, and how much tanks changed. Of course, many of the parameters of the tanks do not correspond to reality, since with full observance of the technical characteristics it would be difficult to make the game balanced. Nevertheless, outwardly the tanks are difficult to distinguish from the original ones. The game developers have spent a huge amount of time to reproduce exact copies of the tanks. In addition, tank models are constantly being improved, rivets, hatches, and some small elements are being added. In general, in your hangar, you can examine tanks in detail for a very long time.

The game has a kind of division of tanks into classes: light, medium, heavy, tank destroyers (anti-tank vehicles) and artillery. Some people like fast and light tanks that can quickly get ahead and provide intelligence for their allies, while others like heavy and clumsy tanks with thick armor and powerful guns. You won't be able to figure out which type of technology you like more right away. It is best to start pumping several classes of tanks at once and get to at least level 7 in order to decide what is closest to you in spirit.

At the very beginning of the game, the pumping of tanks goes very quickly and in just a couple of evenings you can already get a tank of level 3-4, but if you sit longer, then level 5. At the initial levels, the tanks, of course, have some differences, but in general, the battles are very fast. All you need to do is to accurately shoot at the silhouette of an enemy tank and you will deal damage. Closer to level 5, you will already begin to notice that some tanks have noticeably thicker armor and you more and more often shoot without damage, that is, do not penetrate the enemy’s armor. Here you are already starting to target various vulnerabilities: feed, sides, various hatches. At this point, the game is already becoming clearly more interesting and will require you to have some knowledge and skills in aimed shooting. At the same time, you will begin to use bushes, various uneven terrain and good positions for fighting. Thus, a seemingly simple game becomes somewhat more complicated and interesting. You no longer fly into battle first, but carefully monitor where your allies are going and decide which tactics to choose in this or that battle.

After each battle, regardless of whether you won or not, you get a certain amount of experience and silver. Silver is used to repair the tank, replenish ammunition and, of course, buy new tanks. Experience is needed in order to unlock new tank modules: a more armored turret, a more powerful gun or chassis. In addition, the experience gained in battle is needed in order to unlock new types of tanks. Some modules will require you to upgrade something else first. In addition, some modules are installed in a strict sequence. For example, you want to put a more powerful gun, but it requires a different turret, and the turret, in turn, requires a higher tank carrying capacity, that is, you need to install new tracks.

In addition to pumping each tank, the game has such an element of the game as a "crew". In other words, fighters sit in each tank and they also gain experience. This experience is needed in order to upgrade your crew, improve its main characteristics and unlock additional skills. In battle, each member of the crew can be shell-shocked or killed. Accordingly, the characteristics of the tank will also change significantly. Also, during the battle, some tank modules can be damaged: tank, engine, tracks, and so on. Some malfunctions can be handled by your crew, but in some cases, the repaired module will no longer work as well as it used to.

Finally, I wanted to touch the donation in the game a little. Anyone can download World of Tanks for free and start playing. At the same time, the World of Tanks will not squeeze everything out of you to the last penny. At the beginning, no investment in the game is required. Several places in the hangar will be enough so that you can upgrade several pieces of equipment at the same time and not wait for the battle to end. The game has a premium account, but you can upgrade tanks without it. The only thing that may really need investments is the expansion of the hangar and barracks for the crew. In this case, it's better to wait for some holiday discounts and buy a few extra hangar slots with a 50% discount. I think if you decide to stay in the game for a long time, then this is a good way to thank the project and support the developers. If you don't like the game, then you have nothing to lose.

- a multiplayer military simulator dedicated to ground and air equipment of the 30-60s.

There are several distinctive features of the project that distinguish it from its competitors: the presence of arcade and simulation modes that allow you to both have fun in dynamic skirmishes and take part in battles with conditions close to reality; well-designed system that combines air and tank battles; beautiful graphics and a destruction system that allows you to transform cards during the match beyond recognition. In general, if you are looking for a replacement for World of Tanks, then you will not find a better option.

2. Armored Warfare: Project Armata

A tank simulator on PC, one of the main rivals of World of Tanks, which shifted the time frame of the setting forward relative to its competitors: Armored Warfare: The Armata project is dedicated to modern military equipment, from the 50s of the twentieth century to the most modern samples like the tank T, which was included in the subtitle of the game -14 Armata. This left its mark on the gameplay of the project: the battles in AW became more furious and faster, and the players got the opportunity to use new tactical options - for example, guided anti-tank missiles.

3. Tanki X

The spiritual heir to the popular Tanki Online browser with improved graphics, more content and a game client: yes, now you need to download the game before starting online battles. However, the client "weighs" a little, and the system requirements do not force you to run to the store for new components - Tanki X will easily run on any office computer. In terms of a variety of tactics, the project loses to WoT, but it will give odds in terms of emotions - the entry threshold is very low, and the gameplay is extremely simple and fun.

4.FeArea

5. Armor MMO

An online action game dedicated to modern military equipment in all its manifestations: aviation, navy and ground combat vehicles. Despite the potentially interesting idea, the implementation of the project is somewhat lame. However, the developers are actively working on the game, quickly fixing bugs, correcting the balance and adding new content, so something good may well come out of it in the end.

6 Ground War: Tanks

A Chinese clone of World of Tanks, which managed to find its niche in the genre and even got out of its homeland - for example, our game is published by Mail.ru. The main difference between this online game about tanks and WoT is the lack of a client - it works right in the browser. Otherwise, the project falls short of the eminent competitor: there are fewer modes, the fleet of vehicles is not so extensive, and the gameplay does not impress with tactical depth and variety. Nevertheless, Ground War: Tanks deserves a place in our selection - the action will be a suitable option when you want to play something like WoT, but the computer's power does not allow.

7. Metal War Online

A futuristic action game that invites players to fight each other, driving powerful combat vehicles divided into several classes. Metal War Online is far from a tank simulator - it's more of a racing arcade game with skirmishes, but there are tanks in the game, and the gameplay can be described as "WoT on adrenaline".

8ExoTanks

Tank action with MOBA elements, which will offer you to fight for the resources of Mars, participating on the side of one of the two opposing factions. The game boasts a pretty picture, furious arcade shootouts and a choice of several tank classes, each of which has unique skills, including ultimates. Perhaps there is no depth of World of Tanks gameplay here, but the action is more than enough.

9. Refight:Burning Engine

10 Armada: Modern Tanks

Armada: Modern Tanks is an MMO action game that came to the PC straight from mobile platforms, which imposes its own restrictions on the number of participants in a match, the quality of graphics and the variety of modes. Nevertheless, this is a very peppy project in which you will fight with other players driving modern tanks, including Leopard, Abrams and, of course, Armata.

11. War Machines: Free to Play

Another guest from mobile devices, this time dedicated to the technology of the Second World War. However, authenticity ends with the technique: battles take place in locations with quite modern environments, and sparkling coins and other bonuses fall from wrecked tanks. Unrealistic, but quite dynamic and without pretensions to seriousness.

12. Battle Tanks: Legends of World War II

An arcade tank shooter with unexpectedly good, as for a project from mobile platforms, picture and destructibility model, a large selection of tanks and rich customization. In addition, the game boasts several modes, various maps, as well as rating battles and tournaments with prizes, and therefore will become a completely acceptable alternative to World of Tanks.
