War Thunder - Ground Forces

[Nefaro]

I'm not looking forward to this near as much as the naval side of things, but I'm still curious as to how differently they've modelled the tank battles in the 'ground forces' side of WT, due to be out sometime before Christmas. 

One thing I've enjoyed about WT's Air Forces 'MOBA', compared to WoWP, is the damage modelling.  While it still needs more individual platform tweaking, it's just more realistic than the arbitrary Hit Points situation in the Wargaming.net titles.  Sure, you can get the occasional nasty one-shotting in WT but you also don't have Health Bars.  I know.. the Health Bars in WoT/WP are there for extra balancing purposes but it doesn't help immersion IMO. 

I guess we'll find out how it plays in the next month or so. 

There were some recent screenies released from the beta, in this thread:

I am really interested to see what they deliver.  And really, really interested to see what effect it has on WoT.

Some youtube videos, No arty so far but, it does have aircraft and mobile AAA. The graphics look real nice. Too early to tell if it's any better than WOT.

Nice.  I just got rockets for my Typhoon 1b/late.  Can't wait to blow up some tread-heads.

I hope they start adding night missions.  I'm dumping my RP into the Lancaster after I get my Tempest.
