    I remember not being able to ride off certain points because of invisible walls,, though this video shows they jump off those plateau’s.. We will see,, It really is a awesome game though.

      They are working on a new physics engine that will allow tanks to fall down cliffs and take damage also tanks will drown in deep water.

    Its free so there is no good reason not to try it.  Its pretty good now, with improved physics and visuals it could get better.

    probably one of the most enjoyable free games ive ever played.

      game is actually a lot of fun iv been playing it for a while. some people play it all day every day, and some only log on every once in a while for a few quick battles

    I really love WoT as a quick time burner.  2-3 games when I got an hour to wait around always entertains me and this graphics upgrade is going to be noice.

    This game is actually fun to play, but when you get to higher levels of play, the pay to win is glaringly obvious. Very unfortunate.

      You are right the game is totally amazing especially in clan battles, been playing since very early alpha, but as for your pay to win comment I’m sorry to burst your bubble but “gold purchased ammunition” doesn’t break the game in any way. I can only assume that’s what you’re talking about in those terms. :)

        I have played my fair share of world of tanks since beta.

        I have to strongly disagree with gold ammo not pay to win. Just look at the stats. Also play some tier 10 matches … people using gold ammo easily smoke other tier 10 tanks.

        Also pay to win for premium tanks and pay to win for xp / in game currency advantages.

        World of tanks is a pay to win game… can you play the game without paying and be competitive… sure*…do you get an unfair advantage by paying … yes.

        *- only because not everyone uses gold rounds and you dont have to play tier 10 tanks

    That is amazing. Kinda got the chill bumps when the guy got pushed over the edge of the cliff.  And then scene with one tank at a dead end at the bridge and was taking on two other tanks…..epic-sauce with a side of awsome noodles.

    The graphics upgrade is impressive but I am not looking forward to the new physics.   I play WoT and it’s fun because the game streamline and straightforward,  you can just focus on shooting and blowing up opponents.   

    This level of physics is like adding tripping mechanics in an FPS.    You never see an FPS where you can die by slipping on the dirt, hitting your head on a rock and getting a concussion.   That may be realistic but it’s NOT fun. 

    There are other videos of the new WoT engine and you can overturn your tank or even capsize and drown in water.   That’s may also be realistic but it does nothing to improve the fun of the game.  

    Everyone is saying how cool these physics look but I can only think how annoying it’s going to be needing to worry about whether your tank is going to slip down an incline rather than focusing on the fun part of the game, killing enemies.   Games need to balance realism and run and I think this new physic engine takes a big leap past that line.  

    Not that I care, it’s F2P so you can stop playing anytime with no worries.   If the physics are as bad as I fear I can just uninstall.  If not then I won’t.
