I never really understood whats with all this "simulation games" are about.
I mean... games are suppose to be laid back , fun , escapism from our daily life.

Why do something you can already do in real life

There was a time when I looked at WoT, but gameplay videos completely killed it for me. After seeing several videos abut two tanks revolving around each other and shooting point-blank, I was totally turned down by how hopelessly lame it looked. Ugh

Heh, I also don't like PvP in EVE, even if it was 1v1.

I like dogfighting (but not on friggin' tanks) and I like PvP (but not in EVE).

War Thunder may be more to your liking.

Surrender is still your slightly less painful option.

If they ran it like realistic tank combat, there'd be no player base - No one likes getting smoked by a camoflaged and hull-down tank nearly a kilometer away when you turn the wrong corner.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

We must be linked in the Interconnected Lattice of Cosmic Unconsciousness at the moment Brujo. I was watching that video yesterday. I love it so much that I proposed "Apes with AKs" as our corp's slogan.

For you guys that like tanks and dogfighting, I'm going to plug World War II Online: Battleground Europe here. I love that game, but I don't have time to play it and EVE also. Unfortunately the game's not noticed much, and could shut down if it doesn't get some more subscribers.

It's like that in Battleground Europe. Most of the time you never saw what hit you. The skill is in being the guy who a) placed his tank in a good kill zone with good line of sight and b) being the guy who saw the other guy first.

Intersting. Also might help explain the low player base. Not many folks as want realistic combat sim. But now I might join up - I never saw the point in whinging abuot gate camps and ganking: That's the most efficient form of war in the real world - never give the enemy an even break, hit him where he ain't looking, and kick him whilst he's down.

I was in WoT during beta and it was fun when everybody was new and dumb. But as I got higher up in levels it quickly became "Sit and wait until the other guy makes a mistake" and that wasn't nearly as fun. Plus, as you get high up in teirs the grind is ridiculous.
