Armored Warfare is a new tank game, on E3 developers show us a new mission. The first co-op PVE mission that they show us have 4 players limit, players must reach the enemy base. Base guarded by enemy tanks and
artillery, around 15 enemies. They're also small side mission — destroy 3
fuel tanks and get a little more exp and money. Developers tell us that in a future version there going be more complex missions when to win you must do few side missions, for example- conquer enemy defense line and after that defend from enemy attack.
The best function in Armored Warfare is modern tanks. Tanks like Leopard and Challenger
are very different from WW2 tanks, gameplay going be a lot more faster than in any other MMO game about tanks.
In Armored Warfare we can see different
military equipment:
main battle tanks, armored personnel carriers, jeeps, scouts, and self-propelled artillery. In a mission that they show us at Е3, we can choose Leopard and Challenger,
armored personnel carriers with a heavy weapon «Striker», light air-transportable armored fighting vehicle Wiesel, and self-propelled howitzer «Paladin». In the final game version we can see a lot more modern military equipment, including all the major combat vehicle development by USSR/Russia. Game going have player levels and we can install new gears on tanks. (probably like in WOT and WT)
Players can effectively use the tactic. Scout reveals enemy positions, artillery is responsible for destroying the most dangerous opponents. But it is necessary to take into account some of the features of modern technology. For example, provided in the game howitzer modification “Striker” is equipped with a powerful gun that allows you to do damage to powerful tanks, but Striker has super weak armor. Speed and maneuverability of modern tanks allow them to act as a scout, helping to artillery.
The game looks amazing. Cry Engine look super good, the picture is very beautiful and detailed, well designed special effects and models. PvE missions in Armored Warfare look like missions from the best single games. There always something happens on the map - trains passing on railways, helicopters flying around, artillery heard from afar. It does not affect gameplay but it creates the feeling that you are in a real battle.
Modern tanks are very different from the Second World machines - they are armed with long-range missiles, computerized lighting systems, dynamic armor with active protection, shoot down missiles on the approach, and other high-tech stuff. Developers, of course, aware of this and must solve a difficult problem - how to make the game interesting and at the same time realistic enough. Mission from E3 shows that they are quite capable of dealing with this problem.
