WoT Rip-off

I'm sure some of you have seen this on the official WoT Forum by now...but here it is again for those who have not

THis is a Facebook game called 'Project Tank'. Here you see BohemianEagle playing it...and....well....it looks kinda familiar...

I wonder if you still get the utter fail teams you get on wot?

Hoovering tanks... seems legit.

Lol just 5mins ago I posted this on the chatbox without looking at this first, news travel so fast

Nice little timesink for when the WoT servers are down I guess...

lol will be closed down and the owner sued before the end of the week. So obviously breaks copyright law.

I'm sort of impressed someone has managed to basically port WoT into the Unity engine and make it playable through a browser... but I predict it won't be long for this world, it is just such a straight copy/paste...

Ok. so does it say something good about the Unity engine or something bad about the Bigworld engine or both?

It doesn't seem to have penetrations... all hits seems to just do hp DMG

It probably says more good about Unity than the other thing, though obviously it has its' limitations. I actually played BSG Online for a little while until the bugginess forced me to quit, and it is very very good for something that works through a browser.

BigWorld, well, I guess it saved WG a lot of time and money buying an off-the-shelf solution, but they're as aware of the limitations as anyone (which one can only assume was a primary driver in their acquisition of the company). The War Thunder engine in contrast was developed initially by Gaijin themselves, then spun off as a subsidiary, so as far as that goes they're in a much better position than WG - and comparing WT and WoWP, the difference is very noticeable in things like map sizes, graphics capabilities, and even some areas of gameplay.
