Yeah, foxroe - hard to say. I've never really liked MMO games, at least not fantasy-type ones I've tried. This I like because it is simple (get in a tank and fight), doesn't require $$ (though I have spent a little), and it does not demand that you follow stories & quest-chains and things like that.

I have known that battlefield many times. (Gotta love those old vector graphics.)

So I just got into some Tier 2 tanks. Those LTraktors are feeling the pain now.
The DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE City of Brass cover is good and bad at the same time. While its very representational of a high level adventure, it sends a clear message to the dumb: Satan is going to cornhole Miss USA with a big red member and theres nothing science or the military can do about it. - Gene Weigel

Up to the Sherman "Easy-8" M4A3E8. Pretty fun tank once you have all the upgrades for it.
Working my way towards a Pershing. Maybe next year. :|

One of the main reasons I've not been around the alehouse as much is because of this game. Running the Russian line pretty hard, got up to Obj 261 artillery, IS-4 heavy, T-44 medium, & SU-100 destroyer - even promoted to artillery captain in the clan I joined.

Anybody else still playing? I managed to get myself into a clan and have been doing company battles and fighting in platoons as well.

Started down the US turreted tank destroyer line and I've also gottena KV-1S and am working on earning a Pershing soon.

Really enjoying the PzV Panther a lot.

Call me up when I can drive an M1A2 SEP with TUSK.

Also, the Inside the Chieftain's Hatch video series on Youtube are fantastic. Watch them.

The game doesn't include modern tanks like that, they are far too powerful.

Aw come on what's firing an M856 120mm/40mm LR-APFSDS-DU round for if not shooting through an entire road-march column of pre '46 tanks? :D
