    Topic.

    I know our WT division is dead right now. Just wondering if people play the tanks part of this game too. Been finding this a bit fun, although all I do is roll about in arcade mode because the other queues are awfully slow.

    Me and Bacon roll tanks and planes whenever we feel like playing, Realistic though.

    Sim tanks is pretty fun, the queues are really short for it also. I'm around tier three with my German and Russian tanks, still in tier one with the Americans

    Yeah, I just got to T2 with American tanks, but I've also been fooling around with German tanks too.

    I should give realistic a try though.

    How are Sim battles with tanks? Do you have to fiddle with a bunch of controls like with planes?

    You should try Sim Mode event. No HUD, no markings, you don't have to fly if you don't want to, just roll in your tanks. You'd need Russian and German tanks to participate. Games are always full and queue times are less than 5 minutes.

    Oooh. Good to know, but the tanks used looked like you need at least T2 though... And I've only unlocked T2 american. Blah

    Sim Battles is the only way to go for tanks. The controls are the same, you can set it to Simple Controls and you won't have to shift gears or anything like that. The major differences between SB and AB or RB is that there is no lead indicator, vehicles take more damage, slightly different third person view and you don't see enemy tags. You can still see friendly tags from less than 900m.
    Once you get your Tier 2-3 tanks in the RU and Ger trees, the game will become more fun.

    Tier 3 Tiger and Tier 3 Panther D is what you want. Both tanks are simply awesome. I personally like Russian tanks cuz Magrideryolo. They're fast and very maneuverable. Little squishy but gotta play it right. Hit and run tactics. I have couple of videos in my YouTube channel showing both Russian and German. Just do a search for Y. Nraged. I'll post some links later when I get home.
