World of Tanks vs. War Robots

World of tank is more complex than war robot.

World of tank is base historical tank ww2 to Cold War era, including a prototype that was not recorded.

What it is complex is the study of tank, the armor, the fire power the pro and con more detail.

The match for WoT is a death match no respawn, one wrong driver and it game over. You have to use you head more than brawling
For war robot it's any easy we don't need think anything that is too complex.

In other word WoT is more psychic base on historical tank.

If anyone watch the movie "fury" that is what WoT look like.

I've played before it was fun but also nerve rage as well.

War Robots is a world of tanks, isn't it? ??

Never play a game that requires you to use PREMIUM AMMO to win.

Maybe WoT doesn't have $300 bots (they do have $50 to $60 premium tanks), but the addiction of using PREMIUM AMMO will get to you.

Can you imagine War Robots creating a special overpowered bullets for Punishers that you have to BUY and PAY for each game after you use it.

In War Robots you can still kill a K-bot with a free Griffin and Punishers.  You freakin' cannot do that on World of Tanks without using Gold shells.

Premium Consumables, which also has shown up on World of Warships (Premium Signals, Flags, Camouflages, Smoke, AA, Planes, Heals, Damage Repair) is just another way to skim off the players.

If you are looking for alternative games, I might recommend either Mechwarrior Online or War Thunder. At least their problems of Clan bias or Russian bias isn't as bad as sneaky monetization strategies.

If I do check out WoT, it's very likely that I abandon it quickly again, being hyper sensitive now to p2w mechanics. I'm more interested in what kind of games are out there, looking for patterns which games could be interesting. With WoT being much more popular than War Robots, it would be easier to look for games that are similar to WoT instead of War Robots.

Also, I found it very interesting to read up on some links posted here recently, analyzing revenue mechanics (or rather coercion mechanics) in other games.

From the outside it looks as if WoT could have better gameplay than War Robots, precisely because of the tiered matchmaking (which War Robots had until 9 months ago, llama4president), because it's supposedly "less p2w" (according to some reports at least) and the fact that there is more variety there. And what makes the game interesting to me is that there are very few games that employ realtime team-based multiplayer battles that use strategy. So I was wondering why it didn't show up in the list of similar games.

Most multiplayer games with realtime combat seem to be fps, and I'm not interested at all in fps games. Most other multiplayer games are "offline" (like, you design a team or set up a fleet and can beat the team/fleet of a competing player without him being online). The mix of strategy (paper scissors paper in weapon types, range and speed vs. HP) and realtime action (fast reflexes not mandatory) was just right in War Robots. And of course, I found "hercs" fascinating ever since reading Stanislav Lems "Fiasco" as a kid a long time ago (which isn't really about hercs at all, but starts out with a herc-related story).

I might check out mechwarrior online someday. At least you can see the prices up front

I played WoT back to several years ago.

Till those days, Free Ammo was able to beat 100% of the opponents, if you cared to LEARN the armor weakspots,
armor values and Angles of incidence of the shots, to avoid Bouncing and Ricochets.
Almost 90% of my shots were carefully aimed at weakspots, and having premium or free ammo wouldn't have changed anything for me. 
P2W ammo would just give more penetrative power, letting you hit >Other< parts that would have made a normal ammo bounce.
Premium ammo was just for the lazy people that couldn't bring themselves to learn enemy tank weakspots.

Never used Premium ammo in WoT, and i was excelling at it, having ridiculously high win rate.
If you had a different experience, let me bring some doubts about your knowledge of armor hit boxes.

Had "almost" the same experience in World of Warhips, but i didn't play that title for years like WoT. Simply the grind was too slow and left the game at tier 7.

War Thunder is another awesome title, rewarding aim, strategy and planning. Played over a year in it.
If you have a strong vascular system, and don't fear being in frenetic dogfights, i totally advice this title too.
Here there aren't any hitpoints, so what you hit, is what you get. Carefully aimed shots (if you can at those dogfight speeds)
will reward the players with one-shots or crippling damage.

All these titles have one thing in common: Tier-Based MM. And they are awesome for that.
Yeah seal clubbing exists, but exists ONLY  via Skill, never on having totally superior vehicles compared to your opponents.
You won't see a Jet fighting vs biplanes, like it happens here in War Robots.

In all these games i only payed for premium subscription, never to buy some consumables to get an advantage over other players. It would be a shame for me doing that. My gamer Pride prohibits such behaviour.

What WoT did was with newer and newer premium paper tanks, the front armor has now become more and more of a solid face without any weak spots to shoot at.  You need to pen it with golden shells or don't even bother.

War Thunder still has a lot more detail in the armor, so there are weak spots you can still shoot through.  

WoT is very popular in PC and is the gold standard for Russian game development.  Nowadays though, the game is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme of seal clubbing.

Between War Robots and World of Tanks Blitz, the mobile version of WoT, War Robots simply demolishes WoTB in terms of gross revenue, even before War Robots 3.2 was announced, and was doing so since last year.  This despite WoTB may have more total downloads, but War Robots players are much more engaged and active, which suggests that many downloaded WoTB and later just gave it up.

Mechwarrior Online is at least fair, new mechs coming out tomorrow including the much vaunted Novacat.  But the game is stymied with quality issues, and you can't help feeling that overall, the Clan mechs are superior to the Inner Sphere mechs.  The faction warfare there, which is Clan vs Inner Sphere often feels one sided.  Better to play the Quick Play mode where all sides are mixed.  Its also saddled with a small player base.  The mech design artwork though, is so much better than War Robots's, with the exception of a few mechs and robots.

I stopped playing WoT several years ago, when they changed the physics inside the game.
I wouldn't play anymore now, even if i got several nation maxed hangars (tier 10s).
Back in the day, the game was more strategical, while now it has become a lot more silly.

Before it was with tracks fixed to the ground. You couldn't jump with a tank, you couldn't slide down an hill and fall in the water.
Even if it seems that adding coherent physics would be the way for more realistic gameplay,
it has led to ridiculous terrain exploiting tactics, with tanks killing other tanks by jumping over them, tanks going down hill on suicide to kill another tank, et cetera.
For me now it's unplayable, at least for my standards.

It's an example of a game, where an upgrade to the engine has led to a degradation of the gaming experience.

About MWO i tried playing it 2 times. Everytime too complicated for the time i was having, and ended up immediately being seal clubbed by experienced players while i was just starting.
Personally MWO , even if i do love the mechwarrior series, has not been a real deal for me.
It has left me always that scent of a game with a not so complete interface or gameplay.

Ding! You get a cookie.
