The Reasons World Of Tanks Is So Popular

By Jaclyn Hurley


Many people, both young and old, love to spend time on line playing games. There are literally thousands to choose from and fortunately many of them are free to download. Those who have an interest in the military should check out World of Tanks. This fun and exciting game has many players all over the world.

The game is set in the middle of the twentieth century at the time of the second world war. Players can choose to maneuver a range of armoured vehicles representing countries including Russia, Great Britain and America. There are both North American and European versions of the game. Players on both sides of the Atlantic are enjoying many hours on line gaming with friends and trying to outwit rival clans.

Once a new player is registered they should head over to their own garage. This is not just a place to store the tanks, but a full scale command center. They should take the time to read the Newcomers Guide, an extremely helpful introduction to the game with tips on how to play. The tank information is also included which helps to make the decision about which is the best machine for certain terrain and battles.

Clans are groups of players who work together to develop their team work and strategies. It is also an opportunity to develop leadership skills and learn to command troops. Most people begin by joining an established clan, but as they gain in experience they may want to start their own. This allows them to select their own team members and find those with similar interests.

Once the player has registered the lists are posted for skirmishes. Skirmishes are immensely popular and form the main backdrop of the game. Monday through Wednesday evenings are devoted to skirmishes to decide who moves on to which level. The playoffs are divided into the Alpha and Bravo levels. The higher level, Alpha, is battling for the bigger prizes.

Each registered player has their own garage. This area is not just to house their tanks, but also provides information about all the armoured vehicles in the game. There is also a very handy newcomers guide packed with great information. Before engaging in battle the player will need to know all the specifications of their vehicles. This includes their speed, shells and missions. Excellent graphics are a really crucial part of the games and have indeed won many awards.

Clans are a huge part of the game. The player must register well before play and becomes part of a clan. Clan battles take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. After that the standings tables will show the rankings. The top half of the standings go on to the Alpha playoffs with bigger prizes and the bottom half go to the Bravo playoffs.

The Community tab is a good place to look for additional materials connected to the game. There are newsletters, forums and other places for players to connect. Those who love the look of the game can download images and fan art.
