He also entertained me with an anecdote of a buddy who was court martialed for driving his tank at 80-odd miles per hour. I really enjoyed the Armored Warfare match, during which programmer Anthony Davis offered real-time hints, having driven plenty of tanks during his own days in the United States Army. Tank shoot-em-ups are hardly new to video games, but World of Tanks’ mix of vehicular warfare, persistent progression, and customization is very much its own. Later on, when I played a team-versus-AI match using a Soviet T-80 (coincidentally, everyone on my team chose the same offensive powerhouse), it was still hard not to think it. When I recently saw Armored Warfare, Obsidian Entertainment’s upcoming online tank action game, it was hard not to think the obvious: “Isn’t this just World of Tanks?”
