I cant understand both fanboys here:
1) Yes, SS made a mistake, but he still has a point on the amount of ALMOST identical tanks.
2) WoT is actually very well balanced. The KT 105 L68 vs IS-4 does not look good, nor is it historical.
3) WOT WAS NEVER about realism or Historical accuracy. NEVER.
4) Some people like me like prototypes/unused tanks and even most of the blueprint vehicles and upgrades.

And the shitstorm of WT acolytes defending their game began.
1.WT and WoT are 2 different games(1 sim, 1 arcade) and they’re compared only because WT is the only game atm, except WoT, that has tanks in a PvP battle model.
2.Frank just says his subjective opinion, as a hard WoT player, about that game.

If I were a hard WoT player, not knowing anything about WT and I wanted to check their tanks I’d had the same opinion about it, because I’m used with WoT’s gameplay style, with it’s grinding style, with it’s tiered battle style and with it’s prototype/made-up realistic tanks to fill the gaps in order to make a complete branch.

On the other hand, if I was a WoT player dissapointed by it because of it’s arcadeish playstyle and because it contains tanks that didn’t existed IRL and go to check WT’s tanks I’d remain there enjoying that.Sadly, I’m not such a person and I’m sticking with WoT

+1 from me, when did PC gamers become no better than console fanbois?

That is exactly like war thunder planes and that is GOOD THING. No tech tree full of stupid Tigers with 88 L/71 no idiotic stugs with 75 L/70. Those different variants of tanks are really awesome thing. All of us do not want game full of imagination tanks and paper tanks.

Realism and historical accuracy was what WoT was first about then it got into wrong track with stupid unhistorical balancing (they could balance things historically). WoT has nothing to do with historical accuracy nothing and it has hitpoint system nothing to do with real life either. It’s an arcade game that has nothing to do with historical accuracy, war thunder is different story and that is the reason people play it.

IF they would merge those prototypes as a modules for actual tanks, then it may bring back some of that “historicity” to WoT. But they would have to rework many, many things to make that work. For example, choosing VK36 / Tiger I hull makes you tier 6, imaginary 88L71 makes you tier 7. I see no way they would make it this or similar way.

It is neither about realism nor about simulator. It is about playing Tiger II against T54 or playing Leopard 1 against Maus. Or WZ120 against Tiger I. It is more like StG44 in CoD4. You have it there more of like an “eastern egg” than of any historicity or any use. They keep spitting “for history” but try to play Panther with historical configuration against Foch. Good luck. The heck, I enjoy VK3002M more than Panther. That VK reminds me more of an actual Panther than their Giant-poking-stick. I do not mind playing completely fantasy, made up game, I played Planet Side 2 for example or BF2142, but I hate to see historical WWII vehicles being put into “BF2142″ or “Planet Side 2″

It is not abot not liking it is abot how disinformed and retarded certain persons are. Making long term conclusions on badly understood facts.

122 mm D25T with good optics should be about as accurate as the Long 88…
Also, a HE shot should kill the crew… things are looking bad for German tanks…

Well this is what happeneds when you write about something you have no idea how it works. Techtrees and leveling works a little differentily in WT rendering this whole article into total bullshit.
