Why did tank genre died? Nowadays there are only a couple of tank sims, a few f2p games and maybe some mobile games.

World of tanks took it over, and killed it slowly
Jonathan Lewis
If anything WoT make more people interest in tanks.
Nathan Myers
In my case, it did.
But then it also made me be eternally hat WoT, after realizing how unbalanced, borderline p2w and profit > fun it is.
The only good f2p game I can think of is league of legends, i.e. where the stuff you can buy doesn't really influence the game in any way and the game mechanics are made purely with fun gameplay in mind.
Too bad I just don't like moba, but tanks.
Too bad there isn't any decent arcadey tanks only game.
Lincoln Turner
I'm so fucking mad armored warfare was released years too early and flopped
Benjamin Morales
I use to love Warthunder but holy shit they killed the game with all the ATGM's and Modern stuff and holy shit the Helicopters the fucking helicopters camping 5 miles away spamming ATGM's 24/7 thast how you kill your game .
Oliver Jones
>Nowadays there are only a couple of tank sims, a few f2p games and maybe some mobile games.
That's more than it was at any point
Samuel Jenkins
What were they thinking adding attack helicopters with ATGMs in a tank game anyway?
Jayden Davis
well modern warfare with it's long range weapons, lasers and other stuff, certainly won't make a good tank game, unless some things are made heavily unrealistic
Eli Rivera
Good riddance. Tank Fags are the worst subsection of the already unbearable Warfags.
Adam Gomez
And what kind of fag you are to say this?
Charles Fisher
Thank god i can't into grind so i always stick to rank 3 tanks
Bentley Howard
The funny thing is how unbalanced the tier are for example the Maus and the IS4 are Tier 5 with 7.7+ Battle rating witch mean they will face modern tanks with mkodern weapons such as ATGM's and APDS rounds and of course they are fast as fuck so if you somehow get into a good position before they do they can still flank you in no time .
Owen Lopez
Just a regular old gay dude
Carson Carter
Trust me, you don't actually want a accurate tank sim. Play My Summer Car, and imagine that you have the occasional guy trying to murder you popping out of the bushes with a rocket, and instead of reckless drivers running into you its other tanks blowing you up. Also you either can only play when you can get a few friends together for a crew, or with three randos who likely don't even have voice chat.
Michael Hall
Shit slowly started to derail when apes kept spamming shit like "T-90 when" and "Abrams when."
Lucas Evans
Steel Beasts is literally used for military training and is nowhere near as autistic as my summer car
it's pretty fun desu, the only problem is the business model with having to buy a new license for each major update
Grayson Hernandez
war thunder is superior
Aaron Watson
This is more or less my Squad experience and I love it.

>When you roll a field gun all the way to the flank manually so you can dunk on that fucking little cunt stuart rolling through the fields again
Austin Wright
problem is that tanks take multiple people to man them and it doesn't translate very well to video games
I had a fun enough time with the Girls Und Panzer game
Nicholas Smith
My last match
>Spot a mine placed by the bridge and halt the tank
>An Abrams suddenly appears
>Exchange shots while pulling back and popping smoke
>Get tracked behind a tree
>Abrams is also tracked
>Abrams can't see us behind the smoke and the tree and thinks we left
>My gunner cant see through the tree
>Jump out and run up the nearby rocks and pull out my binoculars
>guide the shots from my gunner through the tree and take out the Abrams
We then got the track repaired and limped back to a repair station where we were attacked by a squad of americans shooting rockets and surrounding us, shit was crazy
Camden Lopez
mechs made them outdated

Oliver Harris
mechfags please go.
Kayden Myers
There's that one game that integrates into the new IL-2, Tank Crew. Anyone here own it?
If it weren't for that insane pricing (70$ for Early Access) I would have bought it already.
Mason Perry
I would sell my firstborn child for a my summer T-34 game set in occupied territory where you play as a Russian tanker
Logan Adams
Obligatory fuck gayshit entertainment. Nuclear holocaust in russia, with the bomb being set off in their coffee shop office when?
Brayden Ortiz
Naw, my summer Panzer, and your goal is to make it to the front, but you keep having transmission problems and need to stop for repairs.
Daniel Gomez
Please remember the warships
Connor Peterson
botes gameplay too slow
Josiah Reyes
No
Kevin Ward
definitely wished there was more of it
Owen Ward
I don't hate warships but they are a bit too slow for my taste.
Henry Wood

Wave Thunder or WoWS?

He said warships, not patrol boats.

It's really weird no western developer get into this genre.
Colton Russell
>weebtanks
no thanks and yikes
Gavin King
but steel fury kharkov with mods exist
Anthony Mitchell
it would likely have to be a developer from Europe and a primary European audience as well. America doesn't seem as tank focused, possibly because they've never been the target of military invasion, so it's always been this distant thing for them. and seem more focused on aircraft
>inb4 sit-out Sweden ruins it
Christian Stewart
well war thunder is doing pretty well, wot is dying though as it should after the decitions they made in 2016
Lincoln Diaz
It's not dying at all
Levi Morris
Because WoT freemium choked the market
Adam Mitchell
boomers are declining in number
zoomers don't like slow
this is why world of tanks introduced wheelies to capture the adhd zoomer audience

What the fuck are you talking about? There are more Tank games now than there ever have been in the last 20 years.
Granted they're all shit, but it's not dead.
Grayson Rogers
I guess you could say it tanked.
Joshua Clark
Redpill me on WoT
Jace Gomez
If you're not playing ARMA, Men of War, Post Scriptum, T-34 vs Tiger, Steel Fury, or any other game that portrays tanks within a combined arms setting you're doing it wrong.
Liam Bell
>30mm
>disable an MBT
No
>b-but muh deplete uranium rounds, muh brrrrrttt
Like I said, meme. The majority of ground targets destroyed by A-10s are by AGMs.
Thomas Torres
No clue, i left years ago and the complete silence and nonpresence of it i can only assume it's dead or on whale life support
Jaxon Perry
>awful gun depression thanks to stupid anime design
>giant glowing weakspot in the game it's from is modelled with something like 10mm of armour so you can rape it with HE

nigger this would be the exact appeal of my summer t-34. except with the t-34 you would actually be able to fix it :DDD

>Tank genre
There has NEVER EVER been a tank genre
It's always been World of Grind and that's it
I've always wanted a game where you control a tank with friends, a cooperative, competitive game
No such thing, the tanks are RCA cars with shit graphics, shit explosions and shit microtransactions.
Connor Hughes

It started to derail when Gaijin started unhistorically buffing Russians and nerfing Germans.

I haven't played in a couple years, did they add the Puma?
Luis Watson
I just can’t enjoy it unless I can shit on infantry, and hop in and out for repairs/dealing with threats. Hell Let Loose, Foxhole, Battlefield to a lesser extent - being vulnerable outside and powerful inside really makes you appreciate the big metal beast. HLL is especially good since you rely heavily on each other as a crew.
Tyler Long
>genre
arguably wasn't one.
The biggest issue is we very quickly reached the natural end point of two companies offering competing products that are basically the same thing, only they're also free. To get into the market of tank games you'd have to manage to attract enough people away from WT and WoT, while also either coming up with a bullet proof sales pitch as to why they should buy your game, or just be yet another free to play tank game trying to take on WT and WoT.
Tyler Richardson
Arma is a clunky mess to this day with an incredibly autistic community desu.
I mostly play Forgotten Hope 2. Dead but still fun.
Austin Smith
You basically only have one good anime, girls und panzer that is only producing really slowly and mother russia bias:the game.
If you're done with the anime and you're done with it on Yea Forums you move to Russian bias. Only to notice that the best tanks that always rank higher than everyone else are usually russian tanks. Then you slowly notice that whole games are literally just being decided by the russian tanks on each team. Then you quit the game.
I remember playing World of Tanks and the russian bias was always huge. In my case every match, literally every match was decided by the KV-2 or the T-34 tanks. I remember playing a german prototype and you literally couldn't even scratch the paint of those tanks that's how biased the game was.
Ethan Allen
Don't post Guppies doing such lewd acts!

Carson Baker
I could be talking out my ass and/or they may have changed it, but I seem to remember in WT nothing in the t-34's tier could reliably take it out save for another t-34. It was that or some other bullshit.
Samuel Moore
This desu, World of Tanks is utterly soulless
James Robinson
Dude this game is literally the fucking best. 230+ hours of fucking unadulterated fucking finning

I can join on PS4 just fine and I have a U.S. account, and I swear that I joined on Switch before just fine, but I can't find a room right now

>best girl and horse's manga updates once a year
Logan Bell
No innovation. Everyone just hosting the same cage fight system which also killed the Mech genera.
I don't want to just be a tank blowing up other tanks and the occasional idiot in a jeep. I want to go on TANK ADVENTURES. Playing the Renault FT in Battlefield 1 was fun, I want games where you explore an open world in tonk to go to strange new places and blow them up!
Austin Sanchez
I can open the online menu in the Switch version but it always says there's no one playing so I figured it wasn't possible.
Anthony Lopez
>British tonks

Where the fuck do I get a mod for this game? Is there even a western front mod for the game?

Don't spam GuP or mod will delete the thread.

I hate to say this but the only way AW is saved is by hoping wargaming aquire the right to the game. Besides the game is dead because of the original publisher decision.
Henry Rogers

fuck cost.

Gabriel Diaz
Heavy big German Tank
Ryder Barnes
>game is dead because
The only PvP game modes were garbage, the grind was awful and pve wasn't interesting enough to save it. Problem with ripping off world of tanks and copy/pasting mechanics like they did is modern tanks are really fucking boring to play if all you can do is WW2 tier shit.
Jackson Wright
Is this mobile?
Brandon Butler
The "Blitz" version is a mobile game.
Leo Taylor
>playing single man tank crew games
Jose Bell
Engine can't handle more than one weapon per tank. So tanks like M3 Lee, Char B1, and T-35 are kind of screwed. There's no secondary weapons of any kind, which isn't too bad since there's nothing to use those on, as the engine can't handle anything but tanks. The p2w aspect is the jewiest shit ever, with nuggets such as "exact same tank as a regular f2p tank, but gets downtiered in matchmaking".
William Rivera
I was joking. For me it looks like pic related
Thomas Brooks
Are you mocking my toaster?!
Anthony Gomez
Steel Ocean was so much better than WoWS, but died very quickly due to chinkshit. Pity.
Jose Evans
Helicopters got shat on in the latest updates which introduced SAMs.
Besides, helis only affect, like, 1/5th of the game, accidentally the part which is already fucking cancerous grind hell. I'm generally playing 5.3-7.7 and the balance is quite passable nowadays.
Landon Hughes
While I generally prefer WT, Boat Thunder sucks, and getting to real ships takes too much grind.
Owen Torres
Does anyone else get a bit taught in the trousers when seeing tank suspension in action?
Austin Green
Yes
