Hey Guy and Gals,

Last night I finally had an opportunity to play the VW mode on the Chicago Hardcore VW Only server (it was a great server).

I hope that this review will help give insight to those players who are "on the fence" about vehicle warfare mode. VW mode is like AAS only think of the tanks as the individual soldiers.

To start off the night, I played with only two other teammates against four OPFOR. We played like this (and it was fun) for about 45 minutes on Muttrah City. Then the game picked up to a 4 on 4 tank battle. Muttrah City is pretty epic for tank battles. I was surprised by how well it played. It is amazing how one can find all the little hide spots and ambush points. Tank battling was quite fun in the sense that a lot of teamwork still goes into designing and executing a proper plan of attack/defense. Needless to say, the round ended, but we had about 17 people playing.

The next round we played in was Beruit (I think). It is also a fun city map to play in. In my opinion, its not as much fun as Muttrah, but it get the job done.

Then we played Yamalia. This map is more "intense" for Tank fighting. We were engaging targets are 600m+ (at the edge of view distance). We got up to 7 on 7 Tank battling here.

Well, I played a few maps after that, all with about 7 v 7 or 6 v 6. To the people out there that are skeptical, please give this mode a chance. At least try it a couple times, and if you dont like it, at least you tried it.

Final word: Its a dream come true for people who love tanking. Other players who were not big tankers also said it was fun. The reduced spawn time of the tanks makes the game much more enjoyable with constant action.
The major bad parts of this mode are
A: The ticket count is too low so the rounds end quickly,
B: The servers are not populated enough to make it explicitly fun for all players.

Thanks for reading this, and I hope to see you in VW mode.

P.S. Thank you Devs for making this mode. It is indeed 1337.

I havent played VW yet ... but it seems like a fun idea for like .... Scrimages or somthing i dont know how many Main servers would wantto divert from AAS to play tank wars ...... there would have to be SOUL Deticated VW servers for it to be REALLY sucessful

I wouldn't doubt that VW is fun, but I can't seem to like playing with just vehicles and no infantry support. Then again, I can't stand playing on the regular servers and asking for APC or tank support, and never getting it (thus, resulting in my squads ultimate destruction). I wish those APC tards would figure out that's how things work, is that an APC transports a squad, drops them off, the squad protects it, and it protects them.

I'd be up for armor/air warfare, if tank drivers can lase targets for CAS.

Everytime i've played it people have bumrushed tanks out of spawn losing them left and right and then we end up with none left after 10 minutes

now I wish they had air vs air and infantry only ohh wait they already have that

they don't have air v air but thats boring as hell alot of crashes but ig uess easy maps to make

air vs air would remove people from rushing for choppers air to air is fun if you make respawns low in my oppinion people would have strategic air fights

Prepare for Operation Siren.

can vehicle warfare mode also be all IFVs instead of all tanks?

IFVs should be pretty easy to down with AP ammo from an auto cannon...

don't know what that means but question still remains

he says that it would not make much difference, as a APC can kill a APC in almost the same time as Tank vs Tank

Sweet Jebus People.

Stay on topic.

I loved playing on the Chicago Tank server too. It was a blast. But I can only imagine if the server was full. Wow. When I was playing it was 8 on 8 tanks (so like 30 players total at one point). Most of the time it was 5 on 5 or so. But man, I love playing VW mode.

I wish more would give it a shot.

i havent had the oppertuninty to play VW yet, i heard that no servers were running it. muttrah city with tanks did sound interestering though. most PR armor battles take place at great distances(Kashan, Quinling) some close quarters fighting on Muttrah sounded fun.
