MMO "World of Tanks"

What is the mass online game? For some, this universal evil, for other drugs, for the third - just a good killer of free time. But nearly every player found in this genre something different. Most online games generalizes a feature - almost all of them devoted to a fantasy theme (the most prominent examples - World of Warcraft and Lineage). Belarusians from wargaming.net decided on a pretty bold move - to break the hegemony of the fantasy games, producing something original. The choice fell on the tanks! World of tanks. Do not believe me? That's right, I also initially did not believe it.

About the project

World of Tanks - shareware online game dedicated to the armored mastodon era of 40's - 60-ies. To become a virtual tanker, just go to www.gameworldoftanks.ru and download the client. When you log into the game you will immediately find yourself in a hangar, which are starting tanks (originally a representative of the USSR and Germany). Also, you have a specific start-up capital. And now with this stuff, you have pumped up. At present, the game features three tank school - the USSR, Germany and the USA. Each of them has both its advantages and disadvantages. Game models of highly realistic, this also applies to their conduct in battle, firing rate and dynamic characteristics, such as the speed of rotation of the tower, correspond to the real tanks. Even the internal modules and the number of crew members, all as now. Gradually learning what's what, you pick a tank to his liking. Over time, planned to put the other tank school.

game basically designed for the older generation, the average age of players 20-25 years. In World of Tanks not mad drive and dynamics, such as in Unreal. The game is relatively calm - there is not only the ability to quickly orient themselves, but also patience, tactical thinking, and to some extent the intuition.

The World of Tanks are two types of battles: random and moderated (generally, clashes between clans). The basic kind of battle - random battles 15 to 15: the computer itself chooses the team members. If you want to play with friends, you can join the platoon, company, or clan, and then the call to battle will get all team members simultaneously. The basis of success - literate team action. By participating in the battles, the player gains experience and game currency spent on improving its tank, or the acquisition of more powerful fighting machines. Chose a tank, you can go into battle. Do you like to harass the enemy on the nimble light tanks, to commit violent breakouts on the universal medium, incinerate enemies, gigantic strands, or you wish to become a first class sniper, driving long-range artillery - the car of any class can become a truly lethal weapon in the hands of this pro.

But even the strongest players can not succeed alone. In "World of tanks" solves all the staff, and the victory achieved through teamwork, where each player to play a role, for it meant the clan fights. During clan battles they are fighting for a certain direction. People, consisting of the clan, has the necessary attributes in this case: an icon, a separate channel of text and voice communication. For the regime of a clan war, a global map that clans are divided among themselves, winning each other's territory. Global Map is a real world map divided into smaller provinces. The more areas will be under the control of the clan, the more games he gets the benefits. Control over a large area includes the defense of borders and cooperation with other clans for the overthrow of the more powerful guilds.

World of Tanks for me.

I came into this project on Feb. 22, 2010. At the time the project was in beta testing and since that day I became a real fan of the game. From the beginning I had a curiosity about the new product and a desire to influence the development process.

After release, I discovered new horizons in this game. I became captain of the team consisting of 20 people - roughly speaking, I was head small business. I had to keep records of attendance, introduce a system of motivation and punishment, to develop tactics, as well as directly to command in combat. For me it was an invaluable experience, I could apply knowledge gained in the institute, in practice, because at the end of university I will head the team.

At the moment I continue to participate in the project, improving their managerial skills.
