World of Tanks Teams Up with Girls Und Panzer

[Windigo]

good luck with that when your in a match with me.  all camo'ed up I can sit in the middle of a field at range and be invisible.

pew pew pew pew!!!

well, with the Stug I can.  the Ferd/Jagd not so much but, thats what you get for driving a warehouse.

The STuG is an awesome tank in a masters hands... whats your gun? the derp or the high velocity cannon?

the L70   8)  sucks it only has 35 rounds though.
I came real close to putting money down on the E-25 but sanity prevailed and I dont like where it gets stuck with match maker.

that runs like a freaking greyhound.... I remeber chasing one down in ruinberg with an M4..... the frakker could find cover just when I was beading on him.... it was so funny because I was getting yelled at by my company to nail him and he was getting the same from his guys (we were sole survivors at that point)

I was thinking in terms of your stug

Can you say "IP Infringement"?  This is NOT a vid from WoT but from another East European Facebook game called "Project Tank":

Wow.  Just...wow.  ::)

And what is the business strategy here?  Usually you try to "borrow" a good idea from another game and build upon it.  This is just outright cloning of an established hit.  Who are you trying to entice to come over?  I mean, WoT is F2P as it is, so you don't even have a monetary angle!

theres a chinese version out there as well.

Really?  Wow.  I never realized how WoT is getting ripped-off.  Their lawyers must be very busy!   :D

Look what I found!

The Japanese are some strange perverts.  ???

I watched part of one episode and all I could wonder is- How come no bodily injuries from penetrating hits or spalling?

Then I wondered why I wondered...  ::)

They need to keep it PG, so no spalling.

NM. I can't believe I just typed what I just edited...  :o

It is mentioned in passing that the interior of tanks are covered in some sort of magic "carbon" that keeps the crew safe.  I also understand that in the manga it is explained that all the shells have special circuitry that keeps them from penetrating into the crew compartment.  Remember, these are NOT authentic WWII tanks but recreations made especially for the sport of Tankery.

I confess that I watched the first episode of this anime merely out of curiosity...and wound up finishing all 12 episodes!  It really is quite good!  I wrote a review here where I explain just why I was so pleasantly surprised.  It wasn't just the excellent tank battles - and they really were quite exciting! -  it was the fact that it was also a very nice story about the importance of friendship and treating others with respect.  Overall, I thought GuP was a class act. 

I hope we get a big budget live action movie one day....

Oops, I forgot:

Look what I found!

What is that?  An official model?  I confess to being such a fan of this show now that I wouldn't mind a bit of memorabilia.

cyber hobby IIRC is a division of Dragon Models.  looks like they took a standard PZ-4 kit added some decals and maybe a figure set and almost tripled the price.
