OFFICIAL Armored Warfare (Discussion)

[ne6togadno]

yep, i thought that also ... i already upgraded some part of the camp, oh well update day will see later what it give (15h pm for me ) and the no limit slot in garage is nice to know, i am used to WoT and WoWs limited slots
alright next path: get the LAV-50 and the others unlocking the XM800T 1st and then other T2 tanks once unlock objective filled

the Patton 48 hold also a good meaning for me ... it was the base for the Swiss Panzer 58 which turned out to be converted in Panzer 61 and 68 which gave the Zielfarhzeug 68 which was our practice target for the PzF 3-IT (we also got to shoot empty hull of the 68 model )

since patch day ... then Riddick is the way for today

there is dedicated armored warfare discussion to where we'd better move on so we dont bloat other thread.
having at least one t3 will let you play med difficulty contracts so you will have one more source of income (daily $$ reward for med contracts together with easy). also med contracts come with +15% difficulty bonus for $$ and xp.
i prefer tracked tech over wheeled cause of in place turn but wheeled line are tds and have quite nice punch (even with AP ammo).

aye aye Sir !

well ... between the 8x8 Piranha and the CV-90 during my army time ... the CV-90 indeed was more suited for tight maneuver and restricted space (the CV-90 replaced the M113 for panzer gren)
awwww i wish more wheeled vehicle where like the CRAB for the wheel drive and steer.

Armored Warfare got me good, WoT was clumsy and not agreeable to drive and aim all together, well for WWII tanks it might be more ... real, tho being accustomed to Pz87 (Leo 2A4 ) drive and aim routine ... i prefer AW over WoT for sure

lucky i mentioned Riddick in the previous thread ... so i was not too much OT ahah

edit now i really wish they would have added the M109 Kawest (which is superior to all M109 variant, except the Paladin version ) to AW

edit bis: CV-90

the one who would be alike is? since it's on downtime i can't check atm

durh ... browsing the Wiki...well the xm800t seems so ...

wot and real is oxymoron.
in aw balance is light years away from wot. i hope wargaming will take an example and fix wot too cause i realy like to drive german ww2 tanks. sadlly atm the game is pure bullshit and the only reason i've played it was there wasnt any better.
in wot aim and drive work only after you have 100% on coresponding perks. it is pointless to train it for crew bellow t5 and if you want to train your crew before you go higher teir tanks it may take quite a lot of time and bore.
duno about wiki but in game xm800t can turn in place and it is FAST, very FAST. so FAST that till you turn your turret to shoot on the side of the enemy you are about past next to and you cant see it anymore cause it is at the other end of the map

 

[Tatty_Two]

Not got around to playing this yet, is it open now? I am kind of scared it will pull me away from WOT, yes I agree and acknowledge all the flaws and shortcomings but I game for only a couple of hours (maybe up to 4) each week and have played nothing really in 5 years apart from WOT, it's like a good fitting warm glove..... easy and familiar!

 

[burebista]

It's open Tatty.

Give it a try. At least from time to time to have an idea about it.
But my advice is to forget everything about gameplay you know from WoT. Games are looking the same but they are different in gameplay.

As for me I'm playing only PvE with some PvP games now and then with my premiums for credits.
Sold my WoT account and stopped playing WT too.
AW is not perfect but at least in PvE I can play free of toxicity and have fun shooting AI bots instead human bots.

Thanks, I must admit one of the ideas that did originally appeal to me with AW was the bots as a break from the tiresome humans

 

[burebista]

Yep, I'm not joking. Playing PvE is a real stress relief for me after 46k battles in WoT and almost 16k in WT.

 

[GreiverBlade]

i got the open beta notification yesterday and installed it right away, and as i am a more pve than pvp player (a thing that bug me in WoT but not in WoWs since co-op versus AI is also a viable option to play )
WoT i played a bit on it ... tho AW offer way more than just more "polished" graphics, kinda a "love at first sight" case.

also after reading the whole thread and watching some of the vids posted in ... the promo for the collector is hilarious ... when all the big one are in place... a wild Wiesel I appear, that moment made me laugh ... hard

 

[ne6togadno]

well i play pve till i hit 50% or till all modules are researched and then go to pvp. pve and pvp gameplay is quite different thou so it take some time till you get how to use your tanks in pvp.
so far pvp has almost same flaws as in wot. too many PL players and teens that cant lose.

the end of your post ... kinda sum what did set me off PVP ... in WoWs i play co-op till i have my ship fully upgraded and even after ... i can't bear PVP (tho i should give a go, unlike bot PVP player can be quite oblivious of some fact and don't spot you directly, you ... or your incoming shells )

 

[Tatty_Two]

I heard its around a 10GB download? If so that's some big game, I will probably download and give it a try at the weekend.

11gb iirc lemme check the total is ...


i wonder ... the installation files are not needed anymore ? aren't they? so it's 23.78gb i could clean or i am mistaken?

 

[ne6togadno]

there is a delete installation files in my.com game center->settings->games&downloads.
@Tatty_One 10gb for normal version ~24 for hd version. i play normal cause my ssd is a bit preoccupied and graphics are fine. cant see any flows except rubbish smoke effects.

well in aw it is better then wot but still quite a lot of times i have seen sheep train to one side of the map and then all dead in less then 5 mins. but i have seen just few times someone beaching and cursing in chat.
in wot i have an impression that "rng" is a bit biased (could be because of use of cheater mods) while in aw i havent noticed anything like this.

edit: btw there is 4 day premium and 3x exp active atm. (at least for my account)

24 gig for HD Shit that's a long download but gotta have HD, if only because I didn't buy a semi decent 290X to play SD This will be going on my WD Black so probably long startup times!

 

[GreiverBlade]

but gotta have HD, if only because I didn't buy a semi decent 290X to play SD

ahah way to go ...

my install is on my "game" HDD which is a Toshiba DT01ACA100 1tb 7200rpm loading are not a big problem (well my SSD is only 120gb and i keep it for OS, that would be another story if i did recycle the 850 Evo 500gb in my Alpha and put back a 7.2k rpm 2.5" HDD in it )

then better start now

 

[Tatty_Two]

then better start now

Think I should have started last month!

 

[boise49ers]

Like an hour to download with a good connection. I Like the game, I just suck at it right now. 3 monitor gaming with it is sweet.

 

[GreiverBlade]

unlocked the XM800T... and i thought the M41 was blazing fast ... (well 72km/h is fast for a tank were all the other in the tier are more 48km/h) ... test in progress

awwww stop teasing me ... oh well i unlocked the Leo 1 and i am eligible to buy the M60 now ... Patton 48 fully upgraded same goes for the LAV-150 need to work on the M41 and the T54 (tho i kinda hate the T54, dunno why )

note on the XM800T never stop on spot ... bad for your health and your tank health ... "learning the hard way" my K/D ratio took a hit (and my tank too), funny side ... i did some PVE mission easy with my Tier 1-2 vehicle and a single XM800T poped with us ... and when i take my own XM800T i end with Tier 4-5 player ... MURPHY WHY DO YOU HATE ME!

and that conclude my Tank run for the day ... kinda sleepy...

 

[burebista]

I have a month and a couple of days since I'm playing it. As I said PvE mostly.
This is how I look now





I have a Tier 7 in garage (Abrams), another one is researched (Challenger) and a bunch of Tier 6 bought and researched (not enough credits to buy them because income in PvE is somehow pathetic).
Not bad for 30-40 days of playing (on premium account though).

The game is fun for me. As I said playing PvE is so relaxing.
I like autocannnos (Bradley is my new love), I like some MBT's, I like Palmaria but I'm not so good at wheeled vehicles (damn they're moving so fast that sometime taking a curve finds me moving back, yes Fox I'm looking at you).
You have a bunch of vehicles for almost any taste so it's impossible not to find your favorite.
I like the Base idea but for now we have only 100 raw materials/day.

Generally speaking I can recommend to take it for a try. Maybe you'll like it too.

t-54 ok tank. it turns hull faster then patton, it is faster and has better gun. reload times are on slow side but firepower retrofit fix this. even thou i hate russians i prefer it over M48.
yesterday i've got 100% with cheaftan mk5 and got challanger 1. dono why brit tanks are in this game . they'd fit better in oil tanker sim rather then tank game.
pve matching system need some tunning cause some tanks realy struggle with tier+2 battles. brit oli tankers for exmaple have lowest pen gun in their tier and have problems to pen frontal of higher tier tanks and they arnt fast enough to flank even 4 level house.

@burebista
yesterday i've checked wiki and there is anounsed base building that upgrade raw materials income but it isnt up yet.

 

[burebista]

What I like most in AW is open minded developer. They improved WoT mechanics in all aspects and they are listening to player suggestions.
They also bring new stuff on table (base, PvE for example).

Of course it's (plenty of) room to improve AW but I think that they're on the right path to do it.
So that's why I choose them instead WoT or WT. All I want is to have fun with a tank game. For me it doesn't matter if it's arcade or realistic as long it is fun to play.

LE: About choosing to play PvE. I know it's a multiplayer game and I really want to play against humans but now AW playerbase is mostly from WoT and even if the games looks the same the gameplay is not. So now games are completely a landslide (unfortunately I'm usually on the loosing team) and finished in 5 minutes or so. Not funny for me TBH.

So until the playerbase will understand that AW is not WoT (gameplay wise) I'll stick to PvE.

t-54 ok tank. it turns hull faster then patton, it is faster and has better gun.

well that's the only thing that redeem the T-54 for me ... (tho 48km/h is not faster than 48km/h unless you talk about acceleration )

strange i can't find the user bar on my profile ... no option to add them
