World Of Tanks: The Vroom and Boom thread
« on: May 13, 2012, 04:46:29 PM »

Since at least one of you started playing this and I'd love to see more of you on the battlefield, here is a little starter guide.

What are the minimum requirements?
Spoiler for Hiden:
Minimum system requirements:

Operating system: Windows XP/Vista/7
Processor (CPU): 2.2 GHz
Memory(RAM): 1.5 GB for Windows XP, 2 GB for Windows Vista / 7
Videocard: GeForce 6800GT with 256 MB of RAM / ATI X800 with 256 MB RAM, DirectX 9.0c
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible
Free hard disk space: 3.5 GB
Internet connection speed: 128 Kbps

 

System requirements for the game on medium settings:

Operating system: Windows XP/Vista/7
Processor (CPU): 3 GHz
Memory(RAM): 2 GB for Windows XP, 3 GB for Windows Vista / 7
Videocard: GeForce 8600GT with 512 MB of RAM / ATI HD3850 with 512 MB RAM, DirectX 9.0c
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible Free hard disk space: 3.5 GB
Internet connection speed: 128 Kbps

 

System requirements for the game at maximum settings:

Operating system: Windows XP/Vista/7
Processor (CPU): 2 Core 3 GHz
Memory(RAM): 4 GB or more
Video Card: GeForce 9800 with 512 MB of RAM / ATI 4850 with 512 MB RAM, DirectX 9.0c
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible Free hard disk space: 3.5 GB
Internet connection speed: 1024 Kbps or higher (for voice chat)

Alright, I downloaded the game, but what tanks are the coolest?

That's actually totally up to you. There are five different classes of tanks: Light, Medium, Heavy, Tank Destroyers and Artillery. Each nation is a bit different, with their own advantages and disadvantages. I'm playing the Soviets myself because the first tank just looked the coolest and I'm still happy with it.

What's so cool about American, Russian, German or French tanks?

Here's also a Newcomer's guide that will help you. But all in all World Of Tanks is a really easy to get and quick game. Tier 1 tanks will not get into games higher than tier 2 which assures fair chances for everyone.

After each battle you gain experience points and credits, you need those to explore and develop new equipment (like guns, motors) for you tanks and eventually your new tanks.

The M3 Lee is actually pretty neat, but it's tier 3 (I guess) so it takes a while until you get it.

Make sure to get the EU version of the game though.
