Hello, I am new in this forum and posting here my first experiences about this game. I bought this game last week becouse I read some reviews how realistic this game is and so on, so then I installed it and that took quite long time becouse of steam. When I first started game and begin playing my first thought was utterly bad graphics combined with awkward bad gameplay and graphics was causing me dizzyness or simsickness, which few games does to me. But I didn't wanted to throw it away just after I bought it. So, I guess then I must get this game working and playable, I started tweaking and tweaking, changed fov to 90 and changed refresh rate and frame rate to optimal, adjusted gamma, removed blur shaking and head bobbing to get rid of dizzyness while playing. I managed to make graphics bearable and not causing so much nausea, and begin actually playing.
First started practise mode, hopped to one tank with driver, what the hell AI is driving around like mad. Maybe I should order him to move forward, so I pressed numpad 8 which is vehicle forward, but nothing happens AI is still driving like mad or with his own will not obeying my order, then I yelled back , go back, nothing happens again? Only when I ordered him to stop many times he stops for awhile and then he suddenly jumps off from tank, unbeliavable stupid AI? I wondered is this game any good at all, so I begin to drive tank my own and noticed it is actaully quite immersive, then saw one enemy tank and stopped far away to shoot, begin adjusting sights, what no mouse control, gunnery must be controlled with keys! Well, no problem I just have to manage keyboard gunnery contols, becouse many ancient tank games I have played had only keyboard controls, I shot that tank and it blew away in huge explosion, atleast some great explosion grahpics. Next there was other enemy tank moving, but cannot get it in my sights, hitting moving targets is hard becouse you can't follow targets smoothly. I had to predict enemy movement long before I shoot, no smooth target tracking with mouse in this new modern game wtf!?
After all struggle with user interface, I finally realised this game has some potential to be great game and it has also lot of realism and it can actually be fun when you get used to it. I managed to destroy many enemy tanks and battle fiercely with enemy tank AI, which in fact can shoot pretty straight. I must try multiplayer next but like to know little bit what I am doing first to prevent unnessary team killing. I like realism in this game, user interface is quite awkward at first, tank AI is too stupid, why they can't obey simple commands when inside tank? I like to know also why leaning is tilting screen view, this is quite annoying feature and maybe not so realistic, why I cannot lean without tilting my head? Overall it is good game, not magnificient but good sim-like game, only if it got better graphics and better controls and user interface, it could be much better.
