I am hearing some rumors being reported today after seeing a spike in chatter within the gaming community on today. I have not seen the third-party game tracking tools show this much rumor in a long time. I will say the tracking tools are way more heated than the chatter I am seeing, so something might be off here. Again, I saw some initial chatter from within the gaming forums and on this site starting on today.  Now, I decided to cover it on everyday even if the chatter was not at the levels that would warrant me posting something.
To be clear, Wendgames' radar has not confirmed any release is officially going on.

Here is some of the chatter from various comments on this site and facebook groups since the release:

Holy shit this is the biggest gaming news of the year

I surprisingly knew about this game's existence before this!

From someone who actually played it, it's fine, just a pretty average  game. Unless you're chomping at the bit for new experiences, if it looks interesting to you just play the first one.

Game description:
This is a return of the Legendary Tank from Battle City! Back into a battle, and an alarm of war calls us again… Waves of enemy tanks go one after another, and only a single tank can turn the tide of the war.

Features of the version:
* skins: tanks, ships, spaceships, classic (Battle City);
* construction;
* 6 online game modes
– Invasions (Red Alarm)
– Team deathmatch 2×2
– Team deathmatch 3×3
– HQ capture
– Classic co-op
– Mods co-op
* 3 offline modes
– Classic
– Mods
– 10 challenges
* Cloud chat
* Joystick support for tank control

Tanks and Ships contains all official and not so official levels:
* 70 levels of a classical BC, 35 of them are unique;
* 254 levels of the Tank 1990 mods, 108 of them are unique.

A couple of challenges were added to the game to test your courage and nerves:
* Hit If You Can – enemy tanks use a new stealth armor;
* Miner – try mines that are a vengeance weapon. Die or blast!
* Do Not Worry Be Happy – an enemy missile destroyed the control unit, the tank went out of control and goes in wrong direction;
* Their Name Is Legion – a new enemy General decided to take your staff office not by skill, but by quantity;
* Head Trauma – one of the tankers brought a Tiny Planet aboard;
* Run, Tank, Run – they say that if the staff office moves, it would be harder to destroy it. Would it?
* Alone In The Darkness – it’s dark, and you can hear clatter of tracks at night;
* Enemies Around – as evidenced in practice, a staff office built on the enemy territory is a bad idea;
* Snake – if you can’t defeat your enemy, eat him (old military proverb);
* Duplication – genetically modified tanks that duplicate after you destroy them.

Select familiar settings:
* Base Tank – the tank you start the game with;
* Uses Power Ups – only a player or any of tanks can use bonuses;
* Trees Destruction – to enable a tank to destroy a tree with a missile;
* Hit In Armo Tank – after you knock out an armored tank of a player, it will be dead or turned into a medium tank;
* Use Pistol And Pontoon – if you can get the Pistol and Pontoon bonuses;
* Enemy Count – 4 or 6 enemies;
* Power Up Tanks – the bonus enemy tanks will be only tanks numbered 18, 11 and 4 or any tank;
* Armored Tanks – the armored enemy tanks will be only heavy tanks or any tank.
Using presets, you can choose any settings typical of a classic BC or its versions, or default settings.

Now, tanker, in a battle you can make use of:
* Clock – stops enemies for a time;
* Grenade – destroys enemies;
* Helmet – raises a temporal protective field around a tank making it invulnerable;
* Star – upgrades a tank;
* Tank – increases your reserves by 1 tank;
* Shovel – makes a temporal concrete wall around the staff office, that later turns into a brick one;
* Pistol – upgrades the player’s tank up to a heavy tank;
* Pontoon – enables you to go by water using a mounted pontoon that also protects you against 1 missile.

The information briefing is over! Move forward, warrior, the enemy is on the watch!

Without a good device, you will never be a good gamer. Next, you need a superfast internet connection. If you want to do exploits against other gamers online in real time, you need incredible internet connectivity, or else lag will become your best friend when your ping goes up to over 300 ms. And finally, you need to be me, Wendgames, the greatest mobile gamer the world has ever seen. If anyone else tells you anything else, they're lying. Skills only come through persistence with great devices and fast connectivity to react appropriately against enemy players.
