I guess the real question here is, since world of tanks is free and everyone computer can handle it, when do we start a TRF clan?
It's alright, but I should warn you, there was a period of time where Saitek was owned by Madcatz and the quality of those versions of the X52 are questionable/trash. If you get one get a new Logitech one, they seem to have increased build quality. The only two things I don't like are the weak return spring on the joystick with no way to adjust it really and the thumb mouse on the throttle is too small pointy and hard. The rudder pedals are alright for plastic, the only issue with them I have are other games picking up their input as a directional input, but I just unplug them from the hub when I'm not flight simming.Kallahan11 - how do you like that HOTAS/pedal set. I mostly bought the x55 rhino because it looked cool. Its great but has no pedals.
Low tier is like that a bit, but the game has a vertical learning curve and no good tutorial. Tier 5 is unfortunately where the game gets good, where your heavy tanks have enough armor to bounce shots reliably if you angle correctly, your mediums can flank, you lights can scout effectively, your tank destroyers can kemp bush, and your artillery can go to hell.I think I am already done with World of Tanks. Played about 12 battles and the teams I was on won only 1 or 2 of them. I did manage 1 kill in all of those games. I got the final shot on a badly damaged tank. The games are just rush in and shoot; no strategy that I can see. The battles last 5 minutes or less. I much prefer World of Warships where I can at least survive long enough to do some damage. Depending on the ship I take I usually end up in top three.

The maps get better at higher tiers too.
