I figured out how to play Tank@war solo but didn't register to play.

Status: offline 		I figured this out. Solo does not mean single player vs AI. It means not on a team. You select Deathmatch from the server window. If it shows a number on the left, that means there is someone else on the map. The number on the right is the max number of players.

I joined in with two players, by selecting the default tank. I zoomed around, watching the mini map for opponents. Graphics were good and everything was smooth. I stayed in for a few minutes. Got killed twice and never killed anyone else. Not my cuppa but for free give it a try.

I've never paid more for a free game than I have on WoT, but I have alot of fun there, so I guess it is ok to pay
