Using the engine of the game World of Tanks, the museum will hold virtual fights of famous tanks for the first time. Based on the technical characteristics and the history of the combat use of vehicles, experts will talk about the strengths and weaknesses of tanks in order to resolve disputes that have been simmering for many years as objectively as possible, for example, the T-34-85 or the Tiger: who is who? Also, viewers will see the painting of a real Jagdpanther tank destroyer in one of the in-game camouflages (June 26) and the battles of European streamers in World of Tanks (June 27).

The main benefit of the tanks. Popularization of the history of armored vehicles. And the history of wars in general.

Popularization of the history of armored vehicles.

I agree, but why are the German "Tiger" and "Panther-hunter" chosen as symbols in this computer screensaver?

А чтобы ветеранам в душу плюнуть ...Внучки то их играют им в головы вдалбливают ,что "Тигры" были лучшими и т.д. Все по Даллесу .

"Tigers" were the best

В этой игре лучшие танки - солфеточные.. Реально существовавшие посасывают.. Ну раз что кв-2 в нормальных руках..загибает и разгибает)))

[raki-uzo]

In the game, this Tiger is one of the weakest.

[Hog]

German "Tiger" and "Hunter Panther"?

Maybe this is the highlight of the museum.

[Romka47]

What the hell is the historical comparison in the game, tanks have hit points, where penetration does not destroy the tank and the crew, but simply removes a certain amount of HP, which is why the Tiger in the game (the so-called pumped-over) will win the T-34-85, he has more HP and a higher level, but the "premium" tiger with the T-34-85 is on the same level and the 34ka will win. This game has already led to the fact that in all seriousness articles about tanks "a la E50" appear on Wikipedia, which were not really there on paper. At the sight of the T-62, all VOT players declare the T62A, not realizing point-blank that this modification has never taken part anywhere in opposition to the still warring versions, they only have self-propelled guns or tank destroyers and do not care that they never have a "PT" were indicated.
P.S. The game is cool, I myself play no no, but it is only a game! ! !

[Alexga]

They said absolutely right.

[Hog]

that is why the tiger in the game (the so-called pumped) will defeat the T-34-85

So he actually ran, a more powerful gun made it possible to hit tanks at a greater distance + optics of better quality made it possible to detect the enemy at a greater distance (at which he was already invulnerable to shells of d-5t and s-53 guns).

[Pereira]

В игре бои ведутся на таком расстоянии, что преимущества по бронепробиваемости у пушки Тигра уже нет. Так что тут работает не физика, а извращённая логика игры.

[ufpb]

Извращенная логика у Вас, ставя игру, ИГРУ, в абсолют, и даже не военную игру, такие игры проводят только в штабах крупных соединений, а аркаду. И всем - сколько можно сравнивать тяжёлый танк прорыва "Тигр" и средний танк поддержки Т34???? У вас есть мозги?

reality of running

In reality, the T-34 in Berlin .., so the question is who won is closed .. Where by the way are the German regiments of heavy tanks? Already in the winter of the 45th ..
And how far have they reached under Ballaton? against the bloodless Soviet compounds ..

Granddaughters then play them in their heads hammer that "Tigers" were the best

Well, the fact is that for 1943 / near Kursk /, yes (!). Действительно "Тигр" (технологически) был действительно лучше чем Т- 34, и по дальности обнаружения, и по пушке, и по броне (!)but it was quiet an order of magnitude smaller (!), which partly decided ...

In reality, the T-34 in Berlin .. so the question of who won is closed ..

ну так на первом этапе, нам реально пришлось брать, просто количественным перевесом, а к концу войны, во-первых вставшая на ноги промышленность, сократила и технологическое отставание (а кое где наверное и вперёд пошла, с появлением Т34-85, ИС-2, СУ-122, ИСУ-152 .... и.т.п.). А во-вторых, промышленность Германии (к концу войны) напротив "проседала", и в адекватных количествах поставлять фронту ни высоко технологичные "Тигры" и "Пантеры", ни тем более "Тигр-2" (сверх дорогой !!), уже не могла. По этому, численный перевес увеличивался, в качественный разрыв, практически исчез (!).

[Hog]

The reality of the T-34 in Berlin

In Berlin, what was not there, the merits of T-34/85 only in their quantity.
If you compare a tank with a tank, then you do not need to attract strategy, quantity, etc. here. it’s not the results of battles and wars that are compared here.
One Tiger had an advantage over one T-34/85.

and he also had an advantage over the T-70 and BA-1 ...
Compare the heavy tanks of the Wehrmacht with the heavy tanks of the Red Army ..
Рабочая лошадка панцер частей вермахта Пц-4 разных модификаций,аналог советского среднего танка Т-34..разных модификаций.

[Hog]

Compare the heavy tanks of the Wehrmacht with the heavy tanks of the Red Army ..

So here it is, but can we first find the reason for such a comparison and will not write nonsense?

What the hell is the historical comparison of the game, the tanks have hit points there, the penetration does not destroy the tank and crew, but simply removes a certain number of HP, which is why the Tiger in the game (the so-called pumped) will defeat T-34-85

[VO3A]

but she is only a game! ! !

And here you are very mistaken ... You don’t have a flight of thought, there are no ideas about modern war and how it is being conducted, who should control everything on the battlefield ... You can see in a simple new, third law of development, everything moves in a spiral. ..

What a pity that I do not play it.

Believe me, not a pity. The game rolls into a dull g.

But this is still better than Roblox and Minecraft))))))

Curious. And how is this manifested?

Actually, it was sarcasm.

[BISMARCK94]

Var Thunder seems to me to be more suitable

[evgen1221]

If the parameters lead to the origins, then from su and ISU there will be everything according to the tonsils, which was once in historical battles.

[dgonni]

That’s what potatoes have delivered perfectly, it’s marketing and PR. Do not dig. Vitya Sour probably bites his elbows on the canaries that he sold the project so early.

[voyaka uh]

Sour has 60% of the shares, it seems.
In general, this is the coolest international project in Belarus.
One of the most profitable games.

Еще в начале 2000-х была игра Квейк. На то время-красивая графика и безбашенный сюжет. Тепеоь-ВОТ-тот же Квейк с тем же уровнем правдоподобности и реализма. Видел,как играет в него молодняк- -не зашло! Несмотря на то,что к танкам имел и может буду еще иметь прямое отношение. Если что.Если про игрушки-наиболее реалистичная игра,которая мне попадалась-Т-72 Балканы в огне. Жесткая и правдивая. Хотя и не совсем допиленная.Таких сейчас не делают...

[BISMARCK94]

Well, there is still T34 against the tiger, also a simulator, quite good

[tralflot1832]

Я с 12 года читатель ВО .Раньше как бы было душевнее.Помню пост про посадку на авик Кузнецов.Была экскурсия в Североморск 3 .Была предоставлена возмоэность совершить посадку на " Кузнецова" конечно на тренажере..Удачно совершила посадку только внучка заслуженного летяика.Он сам писал репортаж.А так белорусы со своим World of Tanks молодцы .Хотя бы чуть чуть истории учат.Не одного боя на этом ресурсе.

[John22]

The game is dominated by non-existent tanks (draft designs) with hyper weapons and armor. What kind of realism can we talk about? Comparing a heavy Tiger and an average T-34 in equal conditions on a one-to-one basis is unrealistic. The war confirmed this. In fact there are no equal conditions. Crews, communications and the number of cars decide.

[Klingon]

Physics is not used in the WoT engine, the tank is defeated by points (XP), points are deducted for the type of tank + ammunition used. But in WT (War Thunder) from Gaijin, the physics of penetrating armor is used more or less realistically, the "X-ray" of penetration is implemented and the tank can be disabled by a single hit in a weak spot in the armor when choosing the right ammunition.
Although the developers are sometimes cunning and give more penetration to certain ammunition or give some weapons better ballistics based on their preferences or for the sake of balance. So it was at one time with the premium "Bolts" in aviation, whose Browning saws everything in a row from long distances.
So to compare the capabilities of combat vehicles in a computer game, and even an arcade game, is stupid

[Metallurg_2]

in order to resolve disputes that have been boiling for many years as objectively as possible, for example, “T-34-85 or Tiger: who is who?”

Adjusted for FBG, this issue cannot be resolved by definition.
FBG is when you hit a firefly with a 150-mm bomb, and in response, a joyful: "Ricochet"!
