Followed the instructions which were "Download the zip file into a folder on your desktop, unzip and run"
I did that, its utterly failed.
After much messing about, i figured what the instructions should have said was "Download the EXECUTABLE INSTALLER to a folder and unzip". I suspect t THAT misleading instruction alone must cause 50% of all the support tickets. However it installed, ran it got Error reports such as 'failed to initialise' and after a while the good old Microsoft "Tankleader has encountered a problem" and wanting me to send an error report.
Messed about with it more, noted it didnt tel lyou what order to start TL and WT in. Figure din the end you shoud lstart WT first.
Rejected the login key three times.
Finally ran it. Set it to auto aim, drove round, it aimed and fired in an illogical fashion, but worked. Once. That was it, Battle finished, into next battle, nothing, Stopped Working, game graphics lagging like mad.
Came out, looked at Sysinternals process Explorer. Barely any net traffic, but wheras WT was using 15% of my 2.8 Ghz dual core i5 processor, TL was now using 62% of processibng power. No womder the graphics were lagging. In fact the system was so bogged down by the CPU demand of TL, it couldnt even refresh its own screen to stop it. Had to kill the process to stop it.
Rebooted. Same again, worked fine first game as autoaim, immediately Battle ends, TL cpu demand bogs the machine down to a standstill, requiring a reboot to restore working PC. tried a third time , same thing.
I have filed three support tickets during this process, NOT ONE has replied other than the bot reply.
CONCLUSION:
Tank Leader is a heap of fucking shite, so badly written, so full of bugs, crashes and errors it doesnt even make an alpha test version. It doesnt do what the advert says, it barely works in any fashion. The support is non existent, does anyone even bother checking the ticket system ?
Its crap, and a scam. Nothing more
