@Tvae Now I'm confused about what I meant after reading your hypothesis.

Given the fact that Mechs are nothing more then tanks with legs, I'd have to honestly say that MWO is a better WoT than WoT.

Not to mention that MW:O is more lore friendly than WoT, which I find really hilarious.

WoT is better than MW:O if you like just sit in a bush scracthing your balls while waiting something to shoot wonder into your sight. Besides that, mech eat tanks for breakfast.

I was playing wot before mwo and I have to admit that mw is superior when it comes to ptw, skill trees, graphics and overall enjoyment. WoT has the better game modes, more variety in the games and a slower progression.


Overall, wot is horrible. Like the folks in the war thunder forums like to say:
NEVER AGAIN!

Dont listen to this drakdags misinformation .... Its a Fedrat plot

Bye.

"Which game is better" is just a matter of opinion. I have over 4,000 battles in WoT. About 20 of those happened after I got into the MWO closed beta. I think MWO is the better game even in beta with all its faults.

WoT has been out way longer.

WoT is tanks, not mechs, and mechs crush tanks.

Bah, their both very good games...but for a more polished game with a established/highly competitive meta game I play wot, and if want to build giant robots and do battle as ive loved to do for over 20 years then I play mwo. Enjoy them both immensely although for different reasons.

Yep. This pretty much sums it up.
I cannot understand why so many people have to bash one over the other. The two games are different enough to not feel redundant for me and I thoroughly enjoy playing both...

Are there completely fabricated ones? I knew there were some that were based around conceptual tanks that were never actually built or deployed, but I couldn't recall if they had straight-up come up with any. Well, ignore that point then, game doesn't even have that going for it.

E-50M never existed even in blueprints. It's completely made up because the german tree needed some kind of tier 10 medium.

I can't stand RNG when it comes to shooting stuff, it drives me nuts. Combine that with invisible tanks, their detection system is horrible, MWO is far more satisfying to play. I can never get over the fat that a KV-5 heavy tank can just disappear in open ground after it has been spotted because it passes some magical barrier. Its stupid.

Also the WoT community is the worst I've ever had to deal with, only place where people have followed me out of matches to continue swearing at me when I've beaten them.

And who would play a tank over a robot?

Both games suck. I play panzar nao!

Fun for a couple of matches but so repetitive it gets stale very fast.And only so because the awesome graphics, animations and soundeffects cover the dull core game

I've never played WoT yet I read constantly in these forums from many who are veterans at WoT about the differences and similarities of these two games.

I would hope that WoT plays very differently from MW:O because you are talking about two completely different platforms.

Oh, and OP -- no one is holding a gun to your head to play MW:O are they? No? Then feel free to go back to WoT and let the rest of us play MW:O.

The concept is exactly the same as in WoT and MWO.. but with more WAAAAGH!

I don't know about that. I'm conversant on both genres, and I find WoT - somehow - to be more authentic than MWO. Both are insanely watered-down compared to what they could be, but that seems to be the future of gaming.

As to which is better...? First off, it's not even close to a fair comparison. WoT has had much more time to balance their game. With that being said, WoT is better balanced, and does have more compelling gameplay than MWO.

MWO blows WoT out of the water in the graphics and map design department.

As far as specific mechanics... MWO has much better target spotting mechanics. For all the whinging I hear about inaccuracy, WoT is a fine game with plenty of RNG rolls being thrown around. What sucks is their camo system. Jesus christ that system is terrible, but it does give lighter tanks something to do. As someone who has been working on light tanks primarily lately, I can definitely appreciate that.

End of the day, I enjoy WoT more than MWO at this time, despite being a bigger fan of Battletech than WW2. I think it's possible that MWO will improve to the point where I enjoy MWO over WoT, but my shot from hip estimate is that there is only a 30-40% chance of that happening. That's enough of a chance for me to play MWO more than WoT for the immediate future - just to see what happens - but the money goes to WoT for the same immediate future.

Forgot to mention the part where Battletech tanks are superior to WoT tanks, oops.
