World of Tanks (WoT) is an armoured warfare-themed multiplayer online game developed by Wargaming, featuring 20th century (1910s–1970s) era combat vehicles. [1] It is built upon a freemium business model where the game is free-to-play, but participants also have the option of paying a fee for use of "premium" features.
Initially focused on turn-based strategy and real-time strategy games, Wargaming switched to developing free-to-play online action games in 2009, including the military-themed team-based game World of Tanks, and later World of Warships, World of Warships Legends, World of Warplanes, World of Tanks Blitz, and World of Warships Blitz.
Initially, the game was released for free trial with an expansion pack allowing for much more powerful ships. Initially, Astro Battle was released as a stand-alone application. In 2007, the game had 18,000 subscribers [7] and work on a sequel began. In 2009, the original was re-released as a web application, accessible from the website.
The "tanks" also had overall hitpoints instead of the usual separate modules, parodying the gameplay of World of Tanks, a competitor to War Thunder. For 2016, ahead of the announcement of the naval forces update, War Thunder offered playable 18th-century sailing ships fighting in the Caribbean .
Also a mototank from Battletanx: Global Assault can be seen in the opening title sequence, and many of the playable tanks are inspired or directly copied from Battletanx. A reversed M-80 (only in the PS1 version of Battletanx: Global Assault ) can also be seen in game as the unplayable AI controlled Skorpion Bomb Tank.
The purchase for a total of 354 tanks is expected to cost ₹ 17,500 crore (US$2.0 billion). The first batch of 59 batch is "reserved" for DRDO which includes L&T as the lead systems integrator. The rest of 295 tanks will be ordered and manufactured under Make-1 government funded category after a tendering process which will include L&T. [56]
