I took alook at WorldofTanks, but it didn't make me want to bother downloading it. I didn't see any inside tank screenshots, do you shoot form the outside view? I'm not much of an FPS'er but enjoyed some offline tank play in RO, and bought RO2 thinking I would be able to do the same, but it didn't have that option. I think it would be rather fun operating Tanks on the new IL-2 series terrain when they have a Tree collision model.

Well, lets really hope they fix the trees with the new engine, otherwise 90% of players play on maps without a single tree, so we should wait for the Lybia-Addon for some Tanking.

As far as I understood, WoT doesn´t have so many players, because it has tanks, tactic, graphics or other realism in any way. It is simply addictive due to the scoring and leveling system. Not a single WoT player will move to CloD because in CloD you can drive around in a tank - no the WoT machinery is all about "claning", "leveling", "farming" and who spents more real money into it and is on the score board.
Though I never player WoT, I still play Navyfield from time to time, it is basically the same approach to the teenies wallet.

well, you are wrong.... on EU server sometimes i see more than 70,000 players online at the same time, on russian and US I think are 2 or 3 times more... and looking at the sold premium tanks (yes, you can buy some tanks that are better credit maker) the players are alot and the devs income also (calculating only the sold tanks of 1 type, they did something like 6,000,000 of euro) add to this the premiums accounts (10 euro every month) and the other tanks and you'll have an idea of what they will earn with this game. To be honest, I play it, but if you really want to advance you have to pay, so this is not a true free to play, but a pay to win. Sorry for the offtopic.

EDIT:
sorry, just realized that some page ago was talked about this... I wrote the same things...
