The Alpha started yesterday and is only till Monday (also its only from 5pm - 8/9pm each day).
There were about 800 people playing yesterday when I tried it.

I'm tempted pick up the soldier of fortune for a tenner.
I liked WoT but a more modern looking version with much better artillery and quicker paced gameplay sounds good to me.

Bought it and i believe the early access starts on 27th May or something like that.
I really like what they're doing so far especially the fact the oldest tanks in the game are from the end of WW2 and they go all the way up to modern day. I want to roll around in a Challenger 2.
Also with it being a modern setting they will be adding things like firing smoke bombs etc...
Also artillery in the latest patch is much better and no where near as annoying as WoT.

I've recently just started playing WoT again, is this worth the purchase?
Soldato
No idea yet but this video is from the latest alpha test. Obviously a lot of stuff is still missing but it gives you a rough idea.
Soldato
Early Access starts tomorrow so will be giving it a go see what its like compared to WoT.
Granted a lot of stuff isnt in straight away but the meat and bones are in.

Basically Think WoT with newer tanks
Soldato
Please tell me what you meant was:
....and no gold ammo and stupid power creep and removal of all soft cover to force brawling with no prospect of intelligent gameplay.Basically Think WoT with newer tanks

A few things I've noticed on vids.
The games are much quicker paced due to modern tanks being faster. Plus camping is very hard due to artillery being accurate. I think the earliest tanks are the 1960s.
Artillery looks fun, no more powerful than normal tanks but more accurate than artillery in wot, they also display a ping on the map when they fire which the enemy artillery can see.
If you have a good game but still lose you can come top on xp for both teams, I think winning team get 25% win bonus.
Artillery can also provide support by firing smoke etc... on the battlefield to hide friendly tanks.
The devs listen.

Looking forward to trying this out tonight. I'll be playing between 5pm and 8pm.
Soldato
Really short test period daily which is a little annoying but I can see why they do it.
Don
Well that was fun. I enjoyed the Early Access, probably more than I have World of Tanks for a long time. However it is early and "new" so might be through rose-tinted specs.
If you want a gameplay comparison, it is basically a faster version of WoT. So far only played tiers 1 and 2, but I'll give tier 3 a go tomorrow night.

Bascially the above it's a faster paced WoT.
Hoping the graphics aren't finished because with their going on about it running on CryEngine, it's not that impressive to look at. Better than WoT but not brilliant, though some maps are better than others.
I prefer the more modern tanks too and look forward to trying arty, shame its only 3 hour sessions each day.
