The folks at Wargaming.net assembled a new Minecraft-alike game mode for World of Tanks. But—hardy har—it's just an April Fool's joke. The video pokes fun at several ongoing player complaints and suggestions. Suggestions like fully destructible environments, perfectly symmetrical battlefields, and flawless matchmaking. If you don't play World of Tanks then most of the jokes will be lost on you, but, as an avid tanker myself, I got a chuckle or two out of it.
