World of Tanks is a sensational free-to-play game that is a representative of several genres: , and . On the battlefields of WoT, you will step into the shoes of an armored vehicle crew and test yourself in the greatest tank battles of the 20th century.
The creator of the game is Wargaming.net, which released such games as “Operation Bagration” and “Order of War”, which were well received by critics. In 2013, WoT was awarded the Golden Joystick Awards in the "Best" category.
Game process
The basis of the World of Tanks gameplay is session PvP battles between teams of 15 players, with one single goal - the destruction of all enemy tanks or the capture of the enemy base. At the initial level, you have access to the first level of each state that participated in the Second World War. In order to upgrade existing tanks, train the crew and open new combat vehicles, the player needs to accumulate experience points in battles and earn “credits”. The game has very well developed tank mechanics. You can improve each of its components (turret, gun, engine) or replace it with a newer model. The player can sell all unnecessary spare parts or ammunition for half their cost.
Teams are formed randomly of 15 people. The models of tanks in a team can be completely different. These can be cars from different years of manufacture, from different countries, real or experimental models. To win the battle, one of the teams must destroy all enemy vehicles or stay in the area of the enemy base for a certain time, thereby capturing it.
Game Modes
Storm
In the Assault mode, a team of players must defend their base from attacks, preventing it from being captured.
Meeting engagement
Teams fight to capture the only control point located on the map.
Team fight
The battle is 7 on 7 players, tanks no higher than level 8 are allowed, the composition is formed randomly based on the personal rating of the players.
World War
On the global map of the USSR, Europe, Asia, North America, North Africa, there is a confrontation between power-sharing clans.
Tanks
WoT developers paid special attention to the development of tank mechanics. For the historical accuracy of their appearance, the thickness of the armor in different parts of the tank, the location of the crew and the presence of internal components, the developers actively consulted with tank building experts and military historians. The damage received when a projectile hits a tank depends on many factors (the angle of contact of the projectile with the armor, its speed, the type of ammunition, the thickness of the armor at the point of impact, etc.). The tank's capabilities also depend on the damage to its individual parts. For example, a tank will be immobilized if the engine is damaged or may catch fire if a projectile hits the fuel tank.
World War
The WoT universe includes all the territories of the countries that participated in the Second World War. Inter-clan battles for territory are constantly taking place here. The more territories your clan controls, the more gold the player will receive. The amount of the player’s reward is affected by the distance of the clan’s front from the landing zone. The clan has its own positions of commander, deputy and treasurer. They distribute the gold earned by the clan.
In order to compete for territory, a new clan must submit an application for landing in a zone available for landing. The danger of an attack on the conquered territory motivates clan members to enter into alliances (coalitions) with other clans. Having joined a coalition, clans from the coalition are obliged, in the event of an attack, to attack a common enemy.
Game currency
In World of Tanks, in-game currency is presented in the form of credits and gold. Credits can be earned by performing well in session battles. Gold can be obtained in the World War game mode, during various promotions, or purchased for real money. Credits allow the player to upgrade tanks, buy new ones, train the crew, and much more. For gold you can buy:
Premium account
Premium tank
Additional hangar space
Additional space for crew in the barracks
Game credits
Instant full crew training
Possibility of replacing the original coloring of the tank and much more
World of Tanks is played all over the world - in Europe, Asia, America, and the countries of the former USSR. With the exception of international tournaments, everyone plays only in their region. If you wish, you can visit your “neighbors”.
To start playing in another cluster without using mods, you need to:
- Go to the main website of the game
- Select a region in the upper left corner of the page
- Register
- , if necessary
- Download the World of Tanks client for the selected region, install and start playing
It is clear that this method is not intended for those who want to play in different regions; it requires a large amount of traffic for downloading and a lot of time for installation and configuration. If you plan to play for more than one day, then in the future there will be problems with updating several installed clients and mods for each of them when patches are released.
Installation and configuration problems can be avoided if you use one client mod to play on different World of Tanks servers. The mod adds localization files for all game clusters to the already installed client, which allows you to change the region by simply selecting the desired shortcut. You will still have to register in each region, but the mod eliminates the need to download, configure and update several instances of the client and mods for them.
Settings
- Download and unpack the archive with the localization mod from the link below
- Copy the “Automatic changelocales” folder to the C:World of Tanksres_mods folder (if the game is installed in another location, the mod will not work)
- Copy the contents of the “Automatic changedesktop” folder to the Desktop or any other place from where you launch World of Tanks
- Launch the shortcut to the desired region and play
Despite the fact that “tundra” (as users affectionately nicknamed the game) introduced ground equipment quite recently, its influence on the balance of power during a confrontation has become very noticeable. This was discussed at the open beta test stage, but such changes were very unexpected for the general public. After all, previously battles took place only among the aces in the air, and they practically did not pay attention to the earth’s surface.
Tank alternatives
But after a series of updates in the game “Thunder of War”, the opportunity to conduct ground battles has become available to absolutely everyone. Therefore, we will try to keep up with the trends and figure out how tanks are played. First, you need to register on the official project portal, as a result of which a person will receive his own profile. As part of the authorization, the player will be asked to download the multiplayer simulator “War Thunder”, and it is better not to neglect these recommendations. Next, you need to install the online client on your computer and prepare to dive into the virtual world of battles.
Tactical actions at initial levels
The game offers several types of combat operations for armored vehicles. To understand these nuances, it is important to clearly understand how tanks are played and choose the appropriate mode for yourself. There are three types of battles in total and they are divided into:
- simulator;
- realistic;
- arcade
This list lists the modes in order from hardest to easiest. Therefore, for those who are taking their first steps in the War Thunder universe, tanks will not seem like an unbearable load. Studying them will be easy and fun. After all, many beginners will choose the arcade mode, where the sight has an additional crosshair that indicates the location of the projectile impact. The first tanks that will be in the player’s hangar do not have very strong armor, because they completely copy the first combat vehicles of reality. Therefore, it is necessary to soberly assess your own strengths and observe how your allies play tanks. Indeed, at the first levels, only one hit is enough to destroy an armored vehicle, so it is best to exercise caution and caution.
Differences
The first steps can be especially difficult for those users who came to War Thunder from World of Tanks, because in this game there is no usual range of aiming or expected spread, so it is necessary to open fire only after a complete stop and the suspension has stopped swinging. After all, shooting on the move cannot be accurate for types of tanks that do not have a vertical stabilizer. There are also differences in the mechanics of armor penetration - the upper frontal part of a combat vehicle is the thickest and cannot be penetrated. Therefore, it is best to perform a maneuver and approach the opponent from the flank or rear - from this position it will be much easier to launch a damaging projectile. It is preferable to aim at the tank engine, which is most often located in the stern. After successfully hitting this part, the tank loses its main advantage - the ability to maneuver. It's much easier to destroy. But there are also more vulnerable points of the combat vehicle - fuel tanks and transmission compartment. A shot at them can set the tank on fire, after which its participation in the further confrontation will be reduced to zero. After all, the influence of fire leads to irreversible consequences, and in the worst case - to complete destruction. Therefore, the combat vehicle must be equipped with a fire extinguisher, the installation of which is provided after appropriate research.
Control Features
Let's continue to find out how tanks are played using some examples, which will help improve the players' efficiency. If the track of a combat vehicle is hit by a projectile, it loses its driving characteristics. To carry out track repair work, you must hold down the G symbol for several seconds, after which the process will be completed. You will be able to move around.
Changing shells
To change the ammunition load during the game, use the number keys 1,2,3,4. They display the number of types of projectiles that the user can use during a confrontation with the enemy. Before the start of the battle, it is possible to select the required set of ammunition from the drop-down list. They are selected according to their purpose and individual tactics preferred by a particular player. However, some types of projectiles need to be researched in the appropriate development branch, since each combat vehicle has its own characteristics and modifications.
Available ground equipment
The game features various tanks. It’s not easy to choose which tanks are best to play. Provided:
- combat vehicle fighters;
- self-propelled artillery installations;
- air defense and anti-aircraft installations.
This equipment is divided into light, heavy and medium tanks, designed to perform various tasks on the battlefield. Self-propelled guns and tank destroyers have a huge number of accurate guns that can destroy enemy equipment with one shot, while heavy tanks, due to sufficient armor, have not only an increased chance of ricochet, but also very mediocre dynamic characteristics. Light combat vehicles do not have such disadvantages; they are used for surprise attacks on enemy positions from the rear or flank and subsequent retreat. Their firepower is low, but together they are capable of sowing chaos and anarchy in the enemy's ranks. A compromise option for players who did not like the previous types of tanks is medium-weight combat vehicles. They do not have such pronounced disadvantages as light types of equipment, but excellent mobility and decent weapons make them very dangerous opponents.
Principles of research of ground combat vehicles
This moment is very important for those who have only recently joined the ranks of players, so it is impossible not to talk about it. An excellent example for this would be the branch of Russian tanks, which is very difficult for a beginner to understand. In the “Army” tab, you need to select a tank that is available for study at this stage (let it be the KV-1). After the choice is made, you must click on the “Explore” button, after which a progress bar will be displayed, which will fill as the player’s experience and the number of battles he has completed increases. If the tank that the user wants to open is in the next historical era, then it is necessary to gain access to all combat vehicles that belong to this era.
"War Thunder" and "World of tanks"
Although it is very difficult to compare games with different ideologies, such debates take place regularly in the gaming community. The parties neglect the fact that we are talking about an arcade versus a simulator, and try to prove their case with arguments that do not stand up to criticism. The most ridiculous arguments are used: in the “World of Tanks” the Tiger tank is practically invulnerable, and this does not correspond to historical realities, the speed of movement of Soviet equipment is underestimated. These disputes are especially common among connoisseurs of German and Russian technology. It is among them that the intensity of patriotic feelings can reach colossal levels and sometimes reach the point of ridiculousness. Comparative characteristics of the equipment, results of ballistic firing, personal photographs from the museum in Kubinka and much more are provided. It gets to the point where the essence of the dispute is forgotten and the ashes of fascism and, of course, the Tiger tank are once again sprinkled with ashes. "World of Tanks" and "War Thunder" seem to really identify differences in the views of their users and opposing approaches to real-world details. Only in such information noise is usually lost the fact that the developers have made these changes to the performance characteristics of equipment and the environment for the sake of game balance and armchair tankers. PROFIT…
The multiplayer online game WorldofTanks has already managed to win the hearts of many people and every day there are more and more players, as it attracts not only its incredible dynamics, but also its very interesting gameplay, which is not found in any other game. If you still haven’t registered in this game yet, then we recommend giving it a try, which you certainly won’t regret. If someone has already decided for themselves that they need to try to play this cool game, then let us help you figure out how to register in it and begin the actual process of tanking. This may seem difficult for every newbie, so let's start with the registration process itself.
What you need to play World Of Tanks
To play WoT, every person first of all needs an account that has good protection against hacking and belongs exclusively to one person, because otherwise you can break the rules of the game and be blocked even before leveling up the top ten. To create an account of this type, just go to the official website of the WorldofTanks game and click “Create an account” in the upper right corner. Next, the user is automatically taken to the registration page, which is very easy and will not pose any difficulties for even the worst Internet user to understand. To register in world of tanks, you can use data from social services, for which you just need to click the appropriate icon and then follow the instructions or register as usual. In this case, you need to fill in the fields with data such as email, in-game name, and password. In addition, you can use a special invite code, which is given in order to receive bonuses from the person who invited you to the game immediately after registration. After such a simple process, all you need to do is accept the rules of the game and click the “Continue” button. It is definitely worth mentioning that if you seriously intend to register in world of tanks and play them constantly, and not just quit over time, then it is recommended to approach both the registration process itself and the process of coming up with a password for your account very carefully. Yes, this is a creative process, but it is extremely necessary because the more complex your password is, the less chance there is for attackers to hack it. Not everyone knows that it is enough to increase the password by just one character and it will be much more difficult to crack it, which is why passwords of more than 15 characters are considered so reliable, because it is almost impossible to crack them, and even if it is possible, then it will take a lot of time. No one wants to waste such time, since sometimes it takes dozens of years, or even more, to complete such a process.
The next stage of registration in the game will be the process of confirming your email, which is extremely necessary, because without such confirmation it will be impossible to play. This is also very useful in cases where you have forgotten your password. So, using your email address on the Internet, you can recover your WorldofTanks password without much difficulty. To confirm your email address, the game uses the most common method, in which on the registration page you need to specify the activation code sent in the letter or simply click on the automatically generated registration confirmation link, and everything will happen automatically, which will save everyone’s time. Why do you need a manual activation method? It often happens that mail does not support automatic forwarding via links and the automatic activation link does not work. In this case, you must manually insert the activation code into the appropriate field on the game website. After activating your email address in the game, your account will be verified and you can start playing directly. But, it is still recommended to spend a couple more minutes of your time and make your account protection more reliable, and at the same time everyone will also get a little gold to start with. Not every beginner knows about this secret method, but it is very simple and all you need to do is log into your account on the official website of the game, and then change the password to a new one, as well as indicate and confirm your mobile number, having previously received an SMS with the code . Such operations will not only strengthen the account’s security significantly, but can also guarantee that the account is now simply impossible to hack.
This, in fact, is the whole process that describes how to register for tanks online world of tanks. Many will agree that it is very simple and does not require any special knowledge either in the field of knowledge of the Internet or a computer. Everyone will think that it was easy to register for tanks online for free, but how now to play and continue? But here everything is even simpler, go again to the official website of the game and select “Game” - “Download game” at the top left. We get to the game download page, and simply by clicking the “Download game” button we download a special installer. Then just run the downloaded file and follow the instructions to install the game. During the installation process, the game will ask you where to install, that is, you will need to select the installation path and the process will end. Next, you will need to launch the game using a shortcut on the desktop, and it will do the rest itself, namely, it will begin downloading the required components from the Internet for a normal game. During the first download, the installation can take a long time depending on the speed of the Internet, so try to do other things during this time so that the process does not seem so long. The game will be downloaded and installed in two stages. At the first stage, the game will be available at initial levels, but you cannot play and download the full version at the same time, so it is recommended to wait until the game is fully installed. After complete installation, it is recommended to restart your computer, and then log into the game using your previously created username and password and enjoy enjoyable gameplay.

Final Fantasy XV It turned out to be imperfect, controversial in places, but, of course, a beautiful and exciting game. And many fans of the franchise love the Final Fantasy series precisely for its unique, truly fabulous atmosphere. We've prepared some tips for you on how to get more out of FFXV.
If you are not familiar with the Final Fantasy series and have been putting off getting acquainted for fear of getting lost in all the intricacies of the plot, feel free to brush aside any doubts! All main (numbered) parts of the series tell independent stories that take place in different worlds and are in no way connected with each other.
What do you need to do to play a new game? That's right - buy it. Usually the question “where exactly?” the price tag correctly answers, but in the case of Final Fantasy XV. Windows Edition there are some unobvious choices. A free bundle is available for the game on Steam via Workshop Half-Life, including Gordon Freeman's famous suit, glasses and, of course, a tire iron! And the Origin store offers a bright llama costume from TheSims 4 and a familiar green crystal above the character’s head... just don’t ask why. We ourselves don’t know. Either way, both offers are valid until May 1st.
In any case, the PC version contains not only all the additional content from the DLC and patches that were released on consoles, but also a number of features, such as first-person mode and the ability to switch between characters.
But even if you don’t have a good PC (and the final game’s requirements are not weak this time) and consoles, you can even touch the beauty with the help of a smartphone. Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition- an official port with a greatly simplified combat system, but a carefully preserved plot and cute cartoon graphics. A great way to pass the time on the road. If in doubt, play the first chapter - it's free for everyone with iOS 11.1 or Android 5.0.
Beautiful from all sides
The plot revolves around Noctis, the crown prince of the state of Lucis. His faithful companions, Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto, are bodyguards of sorts who help the prince get to the island city of Altissia. There Noctis must marry, thereby concluding a military alliance vital for the state. In the game itself, the backstory is presented very raggedly and indecently briefly. Therefore, we strongly advise you to familiarize yourself with the full-length (1 hour 50 minutes) CGI film Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. It sheds light on O most of the important events of the beginning of the game.
Square Enix inserted fragments from the full-length film into the game with one of the first patches for the console version
On the way, the comrades learn that the capital of Lucis, Insomnia, was attacked by the Niflheim Empire. Noctis's father seems to have been killed, and he himself will have to forcefully return his rightful throne. The path ahead is not easy, and the first half of FFXV is a game road movie - a “road adventure” in a luxurious Regalia car. The characters constantly communicate, joke and comment on what is happening. You can’t help but want to join their company, find out more about each member of the “boy band”... but, oddly enough, the guys and their relationships are really revealed in the five-episode anime Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV. In one hundred minutes of this series you can learn almost as much about the company as in the entire game. And it's worth it.
By the way, about comrades. As the story progresses, friends will have to separate for a while, and you can learn about the adventures of each of them from personal DLCs. But don't rush to turn them on ahead of time. The expansion about Gladiolus should be completed after the ninth chapter of the main campaign, the story of Promto after the twelfth, and with Ignis it is better to wait until the completion of the main quest.
Huge spaces
When you first arrive in Lucis, the open world is amazing. In huge locations with access to a wide variety of activities, it is very easy to get lost. And although the tragic beginning encourages you to quickly deal with the invaders, our main advice is to take your time!
First of all, because in the second half of the game the essence of the narrative will change, and we will no longer be allowed into the open world. It’s worth slowing down already in the third chapter, when Promto offers to hire a chocobo. These cute creatures add a special charm to runs in the wild, where the Regalia will not go without proper improvements. The chicks can even change their appearance! And with proper pumping, the pets themselves are eager to fight.
The series' other mascot, creatures called "moogles", will be just as useful as chocobos. True, you won’t find live cat piglets in the game. But in the same third chapter you can find very useful amulets - moogle talismans. These clever little things increase all experience gained by 20%. And if you find a second one just like it...
But there's a catch. The talisman only works for the character who owns it. So for even leveling you will need at least four, otherwise you will have to constantly transfer the amulet between heroes.
First appearing in Final Fantasy Ⅲ, Moogles ended every sentence with the word "nya." In subsequent games in the series, the end of the phrase was changed to "kupo"
Complete quests at the Chocobo Farm. The owner of the farm, Wiz, in gratitude for completing three tasks, will share the recipe for, no less, a ham sandwich! It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to get enough for a long time, but you’re guaranteed double experience. However, there is one more condition - you have to buy a fat chocobo for 1100 gil.
Fish with Noctis, cook goodies to strengthen your squad with Ignis, photograph landscapes and funny situations with Promto, but most importantly, don’t forget to rest. You will gain experience for many different activities, not only for battles and quests, but you can only “learn” XP while camping outdoors or in comfortable hotel rooms. And the more comfortable (read, more expensive) the bed, the greater the experience multiplier. In addition, at night on the roads, demons emerge literally from underground, and battles with them at the initial levels are unlikely to give you pleasure.
On the road, time flows much slower - and it is all the more important to spend it usefully. In the comfortable “Regalia” you can not only listen to conversations of a group of friends or soundtracks from previous parts of FF, but also buy restorative potions and sell unnecessary junk. And Ignis can also steer.
Health restoration potions will be especially useful after you visit the royal tombs. Perhaps it’s worth starting to look for them as early as possible. The rulers of the kingdom of Lucis are buried in these places. The Crown Prince can absorb their souls and thereby gain enormous power in the form of royal weapons. Greater firepower will help you get out of difficult situations, but you shouldn’t get carried away with such gifts: each use will cost you health points. There are eleven such crypts scattered throughout the game world, and only half will be found during the main quests.
Ability to survive
In the combat system and leveling up combat skills, each player will find something different, depending on the weapon they like and the fighting style. So the main general tips: do not forget about friendly damage, teleport Noctis to high objects to speed up regeneration and save health kits, and also learn the following skills as early as possible:
- “Effective Evasion” (8 ability points, “Combat” tab) - reduces the mana cost of dodging while blocking.
- “Telefacter” (24 OS, “Combat” tab) – increases damage from teleporting attacks. In the future, it will literally allow you to take enemies apart piece by piece.
- “Stalker” (26 OS, “Combat” tab) – increases damage to enemies from behind. It will be very helpful in battles with strong opponents.
- “First Shot”, “All-In”, “Scan” (6 OS, Combat tab) - three basic skills for each of your companions. Used automatically.
- “Deadly Dash” (28 OS, “Combat” tab) - allows you to deal damage from a distance.
- "Chain of Strikes" (8 OS, "Teamwork" tab) - increases the power of linked attacks.
- “Health reserve” (10 OS, “Characteristics” tab) – increases the health reserve according to the hero’s level. Gives a constant increase in health as you level up your characters.
- “Accessory slot” (16 OS, “Characteristics” tab) - gives a second accessory slot to each of the heroes.
- “Regrouping” (18 OS, “Techniques” tab) - with this skill, Ignis can lead the entire group out of a dangerous situation and restore the health of friends without the use of potions.
As you can see, you will need a lot of ability points, so at the beginning of the game you should take care of comfortable leveling. In addition to tasks and leveling up, you earn CP for finishing off an enemy with a teleporting strike or parry, as well as for conducting tactical operations during battle. Simply put, if Gladiolus says that it is better to burn your enemies, there is no point in arguing. Final Fantasy XV values teamwork. Even during rest, comrades can sometimes offer a quest, the completion of which will not take much time, but will generously reward the OS.
In addition to the above skills, it is worth learning skills as early as possible to quickly gain ability points for moving by car, resting in camps, riding chocobos and using magic.
It doesn't matter which magic you use most often, which weapon you prefer, or which companion you like best. Do you like fishing, bird racing or evening gatherings around the fire? Will you do side quests or focus on the main quest? Whatever path you choose, the main thing is to enjoy the game. And with this, along with our advice, you will be helped by the magical music of Yoko Shimomura and devoted comrades in a reliable car.
