World of Tanks, which is in closed beta, is tanksim lite, but it's also a lot of fun. My son and I have been playing it, and despite some bugs, it gives you a pretty good feel for tank warfare. It's easy to pick up and play, graphics are ok, but if you've only got 1 gig of RAM, you'll have to set graphics to low if you want it to be playable.

Looks a little too arcade for me.
-
Looks like fun, when is it out?
-
If you can get a beta key, you can play now.
-
And the beta key is just a google search away http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common.../icon_wink.gif
I've been having a bunch of fun with WoT for a week and a half now. It's quite fast paced right now with small maps and teams (1kmx1km max, and 15 people to a team), but there's still a fair amount of tactics that you have to pay attention to (like hiding behind rail cars to give your tank more protection).
-
What handle are you playing under PanzerAce? I'm mostly running around in an A-20, saving towards a T-34 and/Leopard. If the gold comes in, I'll be driving a Churchill tonite.
Don't stop when arty is around!

I'm playing under "HLS30" (my tag on some other forums that for whatever reason wouldn't let me run this name). I've currently got a Leopard as a free exp farm, a T-34 that I hate (getting the -85 ASAP), a Pz. III/IV that I love (going the panther route WOOOOOOOO), a Stug III that I love (L/70 is ftw on that), and a T-28 that I'm just grinding for the russian heavies :P
If you only have an A-20 right now, I suggest getting atleast two more tanks to play with. Remember, no exp loss for leaving a game the instant you die.
-
Nice garage!
I'm running a Stuart and a BT-7 in addition to the A-20. I had a Wespe and a Luchs, but I sold those off to buy the -20. The Leopard is one heck of a light tank! I'll get back into the TDs when I can move over from the T-34 to the SU85.
What don't you like about the T-34?
-
Do they have the Haunted Tank option for the Stuart? Cuz if they do you'd be able to take on Tigers and that would be a hoot.
