Armo(u)red Warfare.

[Echo 7-7]

Armored Warfare

Considered by some to be the challenger that will steal the tank battle genre crown from World of Tanks, and others as just a cheap copy-paste, Early Access will soon be available to the public through the purchase of one of the game's Founder Packs. Critically, many core gameplay elements are being (or have been) balanced keeping mind several of WoT's widely known criticisms, including the use of premium shells, imbalanced income for playing very well but losing the battle because of a bad team, and just about everything related to the artillery class. Also, the developers have established a rapport with their community, particularly the alpha testers, whose ongoing feedback has apparently been acknowledged and used to implement changes.

At the launch of the full game, AW will feature 15 v 15 PvP battles, as well as PvE missions/scenarios against an as-yet unspecified set of enemy tanks. Available tanks are all from the modern era - beginning in the 1970s or 80s, but including modern refits of older models, up to present day tanks - in contrast with WoT and War Thunder's focus on 1930s-60s vehicles. The five classes include Main Battle Tank, Light Tank, Tank Destroyer, Armored Fighting Vehicle (AFV), and Self-Propelled Gun (SPG), all with unique in game roles and abilities. Different tanks will be accessible from various "dealers" that a player unlocks as they gain more experience, so individual tanks are not locked inside a single nation's tech tree like in WoT, allowing armored combat vehicles from any nation to be introduced to the game.

So, thoughts? I'm looking forward to it after quite a decent length of time playing WoT.
