kind of surprised no ones posted about this.
today was the release of WoT 1.0.
a totally new graphics engine and redesigned maps brings the game out of russian levels of potato and into the Western hemisphere.
all the main bits are explained here: https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/announcements/1-0-is-here/
Any single player?
^nope. "World of..." games are all MP

Dammit.
I'll have to give it a try on XBone
Well, guess I know when I'm buying my PS4

OK, sry forgot about the co-op mode/bots. The bots in WoWS are pretty easy. I imagine they are similar in WoT?
Interesting to see those maps that I spent so much time fighting on with new graphics. Kind of makes me want to fire it up again
Con
I haven't played in so long several of those maps look new to me. Maybe if they threw in some premium time I'd come back.

It's free... unless you want to buy tanks instead of grind for them...
the maps have a similar layout but are essentially new.
and there are very few shit bots in game JH.
I reloaded the game. Not even sure why as I have not played in 3 years, and sucked when I did play. At least I still have about 6K gold and 12M credits. :)
Saw some screens about missions and a campaign. All new to me. Will have to RTFM. Oh wait, is there one?
Wow, this is pretty cool! I have not played much in the last two years, but it may be time to jump back in and get serious. Thanks for posting this, Starfury!
:bd:
it really feels like a new game.
mostly.

So all previous progress is lost?
Nope, all you tanks, crews, etc. are still there.
there seems to be a lot of newish people starting the game or coming back after a long break.
this is making the disparity between players in matches somewhat vast across all tiers. its less of an issue at the highest tiers however.
Jumped back in. The maps are gorgeous and have been tweaked so it's familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. It's a great looking game for my new pc rig. Really shines in the graphics area.
All the reasons I drifted away are still there
12 y old ass hat players (in every online game)
Grinding
Certain tanks (TDS) mostly high level which I like to play having too many limitations imposed on them (looking at you visibility range limits)
Will probably enjoy the new scenery for a while and then drift away again
Come play Total War Arena, where teamwork means something!
as a TD player, I would say learn the new spots. theres less cover that works better if you get how it works. in fact, all types of cover work better.
