The next World of Tanks update will add physics

Hamza CTZ Aziz, Director of Communications

Update 8.0 for the free-to-play World of Tanks will be adding realistic physics to the experience. This means tanks will catch air when jumping over hills, and tanks can even push each other around now. In fact, you can push tanks off of cliffs, which I'm going to go ahead and say that's like the equivalent of tea-bagging someone in a first-person shooter.

The update will also introduce a ton of other updates that improves the overall gameplay, plus a handful of new playable tanks. Are any of you into World of Tanks? I've been thinking about getting into the game, and would be down to roll with some you.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)


Wait, what? This game had no physics until now?
I play. It's easy to use but you have to grind or pay up to get decent tanks around tier 4 through 6. Oh also American Heavy tanks suck.
hAMza mUH nIggA u gO bOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111
The Russians play the hell out of this game.
@Johan Schmidt:

You haven't played the game in a while. The American Heavy line is pretty great with the exception of the early tiers.

The T29 is the most powerful Tier 7 vehicle and the T110E5 is the most powerful end game heavy tank of any tree.

Even their weaker options, the M103 and M6 at least have powerful guns.
About time i can get my Physics Hard-On up n my tanks.
@Scrustle No, your tank would clip into geographical edges that your tank should easily in real world but just run to a halt in game.
YAY! Now the Maus can have it's loltraktor hat!
Physics will enable you to properly ram, push and - for some tanks - jump and drift :p
Another great upgrade with 8.0 is the enhanced graphic renders.
Add to that the usual game fixes, the second russian tank destroyer line and you have a great patch :)
