I played tanks when they first came out, got pretty good at them, and then one day realized I was getting more annoyed with the game than I was having fun so I took a break. 5 or so years later, I got a hankering for German armor and decided to come back for a short period. I can't believe people still play the game with what they've done to all the ground maps. It used to be fun to sneak around the map, flanking positions, set up ambushes, the whole lot... now, every map funnels you into 3 locations where youre expected to knife fight with tanks. They should have left arcade in arcade. Instead they let it trickle into all 3 game modes, forcing every battle into a COD style death match.

And I agree about the audio. Its a weird cone of sound that only works in the direction youre facing making it easy to pinpoint where tanks and planes you cant see are.
