Tank MMO World of Tanks has finally seen reason and joined forces with tank manga Girls Und Panzer in the form of an official manga guide to the game, in a none too subtle scheme to win over both military otaku and the wider social gaming masses.
The “WoT for Beginners” manga is freely available on their Asian site, and has the girls helpfully explaining the relative merits of light, medium and heavy tanks and tank destroyers:
Their marketing putsch also involves Japanese TV commercials featuring the traditional hugely misleading pre-rendered battles so beloved of the industry:
They are also promising promotional patrols of Akihabara, Shinjuku and Shibuya with an actual Type 95 light tank:
I, for one, welcome our new tank-driving l♥♥i overlords!
Jeeze, it’s not like they (obliquely, in episode 10) mentioned the game in the show… This was pretty much inevitable.

WoT :3 <3
World of tanks? that game need to rename to: “World of Bounce MMfailmeagain Tanks”.
Nice, but, SECOND SEASON WHEN?!
NEW ANZIO OVA, WHEN?
MOVIE WHEN?
We need more of 2012’s AOTY.
WoT is a PoS in so many ways. Mechanics, maps, game modes, grinding, userbase etc etc. Everything is just wrong with this game. If you want a proper tank game, ArmA II and it’s mods are infinitely superior.
Even with Arma II and ACE… it’s still not very good. Simplified as hell FCS, damage and systems limited by the RV engine.
If you want tanks, go for Steel Beasts Pro PE.
Bro, you made that your shell didn’t penetrate a 30 degree slope?
Find weakspots.
However, if there is a fault in this game, it’s the non-ranked match placement, which screws you over when the enemy team gets a unicum platoon.
Find weakspots when you have a tier 5 and MM send you to fight to tier 8 who kill you in 2 shots.
The MM of this game is more bastard to Mephisto from marvel comics.
