The best simulators of battles on military equipment. Historical and modern combat vehicles, and we will also offer a game in which you can assemble a unique vehicle on your own.
Phenomenon World of Tanks hard to overestimate. This game brought together people of all ages and all professions by uniting in battle with each other. Low threshold of entry, high skill cap, a huge selection of armored deadly vehicles, each of which has a counterpart in real life.
War Thunder
The main competitor of World of Tanks is produced by the domestic company Gaijin Entertainment. Despite the fact that there are three times fewer tank models in Tundra than in WoT, local battles are full of variety, because in addition to them the game has aviation and navy. So if the main reason for you not to play a Wargaming creation for you is the limitation to tanks alone, then War Thunder would be a viable alternative.
Another feature of the game is the huge battlefields. Whether this is a plus or a minus is debatable. On the one hand, in the "Tundra" there is more room for maneuvers and unexpected tactics, which makes the battle more unpredictable, on the other hand, situations are very annoying when your heavy tank is destroyed by a successful hit after it has been driving to the battlefield at a snail's speed for five minutes , and the whole path has to start from the beginning.
Visually, War Thunder is excellent. The picture is juicy, realistic, well-designed in detail. It's nice to watch your tank hiding in an ambush on the winter map gradually covered with snow. True, you have to pay for this beauty with higher system requirements than Potato, and if you have weak hardware, playing Tundra comfortably will be problematic.
Features of the game
So, the key features that distinguish War Thunder from World of Tanks:
- Variety of types of technology;
- Huge battlefields;
- Unique damage system without the usual health bars;
- Realistic detection and manual aiming.
Armored Warfare: Armata Project
Obsidian Entertainment is primarily known for its RPGs. Neverwinter Nights 2, Pillars of Eternity, Fallout: New Vegas, and suddenly - an arcade tank simulator. The laurels of World of Tanks clearly haunted American developers, and in 2015 they tried to push the Russians and Belarusians. Armored Warfare Open Beta: Project Armata has attracted many gamers who are already fed up with Tanks and Tundra.
Plot Armored Warfare takes place in 2030, when, due to local wars and the economic crisis, the whole world has become a platform for confrontation between the three powers - Russia, the United States and China, as well as various terrorists, separatists, drug cartels and other villains. However, the plot in this game serves only to justify the fighting, so let's get straight to the point.
On the battlefields "Armata" performs ground vehicles only: light and heavy tanks, self-propelled guns, etc., each type of vehicle has its own style of play and scope. As in WoT, the effectiveness of a vehicle in combat is determined not only by its level, but also by the skills of the crew.
Despite the fact that Armored Warfare was created later than World of Tanks, the graphics performance in it is inferior to the Belarusian competitor. But there is a plus in this if you do not have the most modern hardware: the system requirements for the "Armata" are lower.
Features of the game
The main differences between Armored Warfare: Project Armata from World of Tanks are:
- Hybrid damage system;
- The presence of systems for setting a smoke screen, anti-tank guided missiles, counter-battery firing and other interesting mechanics;
- More dynamic battles.
Ground War: Tanks
The history of this game began with a court scandal. Having learned that some enterprising Chinese were sawing their own clone of World of Tanks, Wargaming.net immediately began to sue them, thanks to which everyone learned about the unknown Project Tank project. Taking the opportunity, Mail.ru hastened to buy the rights to this toy and released it in Russia under the name Ground War: Tanks.
If something looks like World of Tanks, feels like World of Tanks, and plays like World of Tanks, then it's not, not necessarily World of Tanks. Quite possibly, this is Ground War: Tanks.
But the main reason we added this clone game to our list is because You can play it directly from your browser. Even if your PC comes from the Paleozoic, Ground War: Tanks will fly on it! The guys from Wargaming.net should have created a browser version of WoT a long time ago, but the cunning Chinese were ahead of them.
Features of the game
- A WoT clone from the original is prevented from being confused:
- Minor cosmetic differences;
- Runs on any calculator.
Crossout
Looking at the interface of this post-apocalyptic action game, you will immediately see some resemblance to World of Tanks, and you will be partly right. Despite the difference in setting and mechanics, these games have a lot in common, but they also have their own chips. Crossout more than enough to keep gamers hooked for a long time.
The plot of Crossout once again raises a sad topic: even if humanity is on the verge of extinction, it will still find a reason to kill each other. The whole world lies in ruins, and three factions are engaged in a fierce war for control of what is left of it, using technology collected from what is found under their feet. Literally.
The tactical variety in Crossout is impressive. Here, a huge something resembling an imperial walker from Star Wars rises up the hill and destroys an enemy armored jeep with one salvo from a large-caliber cannon, and after a few seconds, small and nimble buggies surround the giant and literally dismember it into parts with cicular saws. And modern graphics with good optimization makes this process bright and colorful.
Features of the game
What is the difference between Crossout and World of Tanks?
- Post-apocalyptic setting in the style of "Mad Max";
- You design and customize your own combat vehicle;
- An impressive selection of weapons and additional equipment.
ExoTanks
Rounding out our list of five World of Tanks-like games is a Steam Early Access project from the as-yet-unknown studio Digital Universe. The creators of ExoTanks position their creation as a dynamic arcade tank shooter, and although the development of the game is still ongoing, some conclusions can already be drawn about it.
Plot ExoTanks takes us back to 2090. Resources on Earth have long been depleted, and people represented by two factions - the Confederation and the Syndicate - are waging war for the meager bowels of the red planet closest to us. The rarefied atmosphere of Mars is not suitable for combat aviation, and there are no reservoirs on the planet at all, and therefore you have to fight with the help of tanks and armored vehicles.
In ExoTanks, both futuristic maglev vehicles with plasma cannons, as well as classic tracked tanks and self-propelled guns, adapted for unusual battle conditions, leave the battlefield. Combat in ExoTanks combines mechanics reminiscent of Crossout and elements of MOBA games.
Features of the game
From "Tanks" ExoTanks distinguishes:
- Unusual futuristic setting;
- Pumping armored vehicles right during the battle;
- The class system inherent in MOBA games.
