enduring confrontation is fun but it tends to snowball into one team dominating the other as you don't get much chances of coming back

also as per gaijin policy spawn has zero protection from camping.

I didn't get to play the last EC round, but the hunter mechanic they added seems to sucks. anyone has some direct experience to share?

There is now pe-8 aka  soviet flying fortress with 20 mm cannons in turrets, 5000 kg bomb  or 5 x 1000 kg bombs and it has lower BR then b-17.
I bet, that they would rise BR in next update, as gaijin always does, however. :(

Horrendous and beautiful game.
Also we apparently have a thread.

 Brit tanks added. Also more aircraft, but mostly non-premium British tanks.

 I really should have said "British armored vehicles".

 Oh, also, two new maps. The Germans also get a new premium tank(that they stole from the British). And aircraft looks like one American T1, three Japanese aircraft, one German bomber, one British bomber, and one Soviet fighter jet.

Churchill. It might help a bit with the extereme sealclubbing of Germans by Russians in realistic at it's BR but we still need the Beutepanzer T-34 to make a difference.[/quote]
one Soviet fighter jet.
Except it's MiG-17. Most advanced jet in the game.
Literally everything is fucked now, as the MiG-17 is just executing other planes. It's horrendously cruel.

 I've read some contradicting things about whether this game can run on an Intel HD4000 integrated GPU, so I decided to finally check out the Steam version of it.

And, apparently it works! Not just air battles, but ground forces too, and at decent FPS. All graphics fidelity is dirt-primitive of course, but hey - it works! Makes me slightly optimistic about being able to eventually try out any naval forces the game might be introducing. :)

No, it's premium test drive where you can use the vehicle as if you owned it, as in use in regular battles, put decals on it, train crews, earn experience and whatnot. Regular test drive is still there.

Pretty much. One hour of the possibility to drive a crappy german rocket "tank" instead of gold, golden wagers (Honestly those things are bonkers. My current one tells me to get "mission maker" so i dodn't bother opening it) os traight up premium vehicles.

Nope. 2 weeks of clicking those damned boxes and i got the honor of driving a German rocket truck.
It would be even half decent if the timer ticked down only while i'm driving it during battle but it's basically "You have 59 minutes to play using this tank... starting NOW."
The timer ticks down even if you are logged off... it's basically an ad.
