its not a simulation, more a arcade game. the whole armor system is based on a rock paper scissor system and a dice roll which is putting cannon + one of the different ammunition types against armor + range + hit location + critical systems in this section
you can imobilize a tank for a few seconds by destroying his tracks , engines , driver (rather silly that a tank can still drive with a killed driver. ingame the tank commander can take over) repairing damaged "modules" is based on the skill of your crew, they can just repair some of the damage, not 100% of it, so the part keeps showing up as damaged and slows you down. a critical hit on the turret might slow its rotation down, or damage the main gun or rangefinder.
if you use wrong ammo, or a way to weak gun your projectile might just bounce off /ricochet , but still bringing some kinetic damage to the tank, but not nearly enough to destroy it.
also this game features a stealth system which is kinda acting as fog of war for the tanks, tanks can be invisible as long they stay behind cover, camouflaged by bushes, but show up as soon they fire if a enemy tank is near, which is relaying the enemy position to the other tanks. but sending / receiving this information over greater distances requires a radio, which has many power upgraes you can research and purchase
realism wise they didnt realy care about authencity, like russians and germans have mounted some fantasy calibers and guns onto fictional turrets which havent even left the drawing board in real life. heck..you can even research the super heavy german tank maus.
its a fun arcade game with gametimes from 10-15 minutes which are like a eternity if you try to escape with your medium german tank from a russian KV.
this game will be free to play/download as soon its released, with a purchasable bonus on gold you can spend on ingame money, or directly on premium items like specialized ammo, and some consumables for the tank crew, but most stuff is payed with the ingame currency you earn by fighting, so its perfectly doable to play this game without even spending real life money, it just takes a bit longer.
I played it a bit, it's fun but somewhat slow moving, and if you get killed in the first couple minutes of the fight you can find yourself sitting there waiting for the round to end for 10 minutes. Extra lame when you get 1 shot by an enemy tank much stronger than yours. But still, the mechanics of the game are neat.

Too bad you nearly always get pitted against stronger tanks the more you upgrade. Essentially you have to grind veeery long until you reach quite high in the tech tree to ever get to be anything else than a run-in-and-scout-as-long-as-you-can-before-someone-bothers-flinging-a-shot-your-way (which usually is within 5 seconds spotting a tank) or sit-in-back-as-arty-and-hope-enemy-artys-with-unlimited-range-wont-see-your-trails-while-you-scratch-the-paint-on-anything-above-tier3-4. It doesn't help that the game features a auto-aim mode. Granted, it's not 100% and rarely worth it when on the move but if a tank is standing still with a steady gun, you're toast even on long distances. Additionally there are artillery tanks that can shoot all over the map (angled shots, so mountains/houses blocks them somewhat) in a commander view mode. Tier 3 or 4 gets AoE shells so if they happen to miss, you can bet your sorry ass you wont have the tracks on after that, then it's a matter of who gets to shoot the finishing blow.
Nope, I didn't like it. Too much mmo in it.

Thanks for that, but I think I'm going to pass on this one even though the game looks nice in terms of tank authenticity (but this only is related to the look :P)

I found this game recently and my opinion is that it's worth a day's playthrough at least to see if you like it. Once you figure out how the game works you don't die nearly as often, and yes there is location specific damage so shooting at a historically weak spot of armor on a tank will have a higher chance of penetrating then the front slope for example.
Additionally the FAQ says they plan on putting in infantry (probably not playable though)

Hmm, how realistic are the armor values and penetration of armor and stuff (I'm a realism freak when it comes to WW2 tanks, well I saw a few in there that are beyond WW2 though :P)
The sounds really need some more umph though, a tank that fires makes a way more impressive sound then just "pffrrt"!
Also, why are the British tanks on the USSR team...
