What time did you log in on? Never had problems finding games during the day and evenings (central Europe). No idea how it is on NA server, it may be less populated. Unless you play SPG (Abbot especially seems to have retarded queues).

The game is still labeled as beta and rightfully so: still many bugs (random reload times among other things, starting to piss me off), maps suck in general and balance in higher tiers is out of whack. But the worst are, of course, retarded monkeys that you get as teammates in randoms. I swear, PvE bots play better than majority of these idiots. I started to avoid PvP completely on weekends.

How do you enjoy your russian trojan launcher guise ?
I always wanted Putin to read my love letters.

About the balance at higher tiers - It's laughable, yes. As you can imagine, T90 is a monster, Abrams sucks cocks (They're going to do something about it next patch), Challanger is pretty kewl, Leopard is impenetrable by front (Only maybe by T90)
I just don't want to know what will happen after they'll add Armata. >.>

Armored Warfrare Q&A with Rich Taylor.

Question: The North-American server has a pretty low active player count. Any plans on implementing server roaming?
Answer: No, that would make the problem even worse. Instead, we are exploring way of introducing more potential players to the North American server. Please keep in mind however that the game will be promoted much more once we are satisfied with the state of certain elements (high tier battles, artillery) and of gameplay in general. We are also exploring solutions to help with the long queue times in the Tier 1 and 2 range.

Not a good sign. :|

Americans are not that into tank warfare in my experience.

I played World of Tanks on the NA server for several months, and it got plenty of traffic. Maybe no one cares about yet another free to pay tank MMO.

PvP is generally shit (especially mid-high tiers) mostly due to idiotic balance and shitty maps and lately they made PvE a non-rewarding turd too. Some things are broken since early access. On top of that they seem to be in full milking mode already, what with all these 'exclusive tonk pax buy now'. No wonder people stopped playing this.

Releasing the chieftain, which wargaming have failed to do for years now in world of tanks was a smart and well timed move. I'm sure it got them some money and players for a while. But wargaming are looking to be copying the the best elements of AW in upcoming patches this year to, at the very least, fix/nerf arty. With arty becoming a support unit instead of a direct damaged dealer.

Choose a team, Poland or Germany, and get at least 3 days of premium time. 7 if your team wins. There's also a small chance at 1500 gold.
Choice was obvious, and so far looks to be the right one, despite the forum poll indicating a majority of players choosing Germany. No idea when the score on the website updates though.

Looks like all those "siema"s are now paying off, as germany is winning now. :C

Anthony Davis - you have any idea if they eventually plan to expand the game even further one day, adding aircraft and naval units? Like you know, WoT with WoWP(which sucks big time) and WoWS or basicly War Thunder (Introduced into one client, which is even better IMO)
OFC, with AMRAAM missiles it can't be too realistic if we want to enjoy the game but still... I'm more into aircraft porn than actual tonks.

So is this...like World of Tanks, but with modern tanks? Sounds like the game will be completely boring at high tiers (M1 Abrams, as an example), since I'm pretty sure the god tier tanks will have high precision aiming and capable of firing on the move with pinpoint accuracy.

I find the whole HP thing arcadey (definitely prefer WT's way, feels more realistic, despite the stalinium bullshit), but I guess it makes a bit of sense with modern tanks, right?...no? Eh.

Ye, it's like WoT but with Modern Tanks and few other "good design" choices. RNG don't hurt that much, scouting works little different (you don't need to have a perk to know if someone saw you) and everything is way faster and more engaging overall.
High tiers are actually pretty enjoyable, I must say. If I were you, I would give this game a go. Personally, I think it's a good (if not better) WoT like game. Wouldn't compare it to WT that much, as it works way different.

Oh, thank you, bud, guess I'll give it a go.
