I saw a commercial on ESPN the other day for this and checking out their website it looks pretty darn fascinating! I will download it later this week.

Has anybody here tried it yet? And if so what are your thoughts on it?

Hey, thanks for bump Barbossa.

I have been playing this for about a week and a half now, and am so far I am enjoying it.

The variety of tanks is fantastic along with their look and sound. Also the various towns and villages are great too. Right down to their little details such as close lines and water barrels ect.

I just got my Sherman(Easy Eight) the other day and most likely make it my primary most played tank from now on.

The game is definitely improving even more as time goes on - more maps, more tanks, more tweaks - great stuff.

Great trailer for a great game, but as with all WoT trailers it's so incredibly misrepresentative of the game (the graphics for example, while very nice in-game, aren't nearly as good as what you see in the trailers).
