Size matters in World of Tanks

Wargaming.net released a new gameplay trailer for World of Tanks.  This video focuses on light tanks and how beneficial they are in a fight.  It's a good indication of actual gameplay, too.  Since they are so fast and agile (compared to other tanks and artillery), they'll literally run circles around the enemy while whittling down enemy armor.  The closed beta for World of Tanks is going on right now.  Have you been able to give it a try?

Wargaming.net® Rolls Out ‘Light Tanks’ Trailer

Wargaming.net® today announced the release of a new gameplay trailer for its highly-anticipated massively multiplayer online action game World of Tanks that is currently in the closed beta.

The trailer features World of Tanks in-game footage and focuses on light tanks’ performance in action showcasing their tactics and wide-ranging functions on the battlefield.

Being an integral part of a team light tanks can accomplish multiple objectives – from scouting and rushing enemy bases to swift flanking thrusts and encirclements – thus contributing to overall success in a battle. Due to their high speed and increased maneuverability light tanks can easily disrupt enemy rare areas and normally become a real nightmare for hostile artillery.

“In World of Tanks we offer the utmost variety of fighting vehicles by introducing different classes of tanks and artillery, “says Nick Katselapov, producer of the game. “With this video we are launching a series of trailers about each class of machines represented in the game.”
