    Ive been a fan of World of Tanks for several years (since the beta), but lately havent played it much. It was basically because I felt that you have to pay to get to the next tank tier (e.g. level), at least once you get past tier 7-8. At Tier 10 tanks you had to pay to keep playing because it is always a credit-loss. Repairs are very expensive and you will never earn what you need to playIve been a fan of World of Tanks for several years (since the beta), but lately havent played it much. It was basically because I felt that you have to pay to get to the next tank tier (e.g. level), at least once you get past tier 7-8. At Tier 10 tanks you had to pay to keep playing because it is always a credit-loss. Repairs are very expensive and you will never earn what you need to play for them. Without a premium account you will need to play alot of low-level tanks to keep at zero, at least above tier 8.

    That said, its a good port of a good game. But beware that at a point it becomes pay-to-win like. Pay for gold ammo, pay for extra devices and alike.    … Expand

    World of Tanks Blitz- скучная и быстро надоедающая игра. Геймплей скучный и однообразный в каждом бою. Много багов и лагов со стороны игры. Но у игры есть большие плюсы: проработанность танков, интерфейс, помощь со стороны разработчиков. Очень сильно влияет донат, где в каждой битве тебя убивает игрок с более крутым танком, чем у тебя. Игру не порекомендую, только потратите время.World of Tanks Blitz- скучная и быстро надоедающая игра. Геймплей скучный и однообразный в каждом бою. Много багов и лагов со стороны игры.

    This mobile port is a compromise between the 360 and PC versions. It still has a lot of grinding and is still a tactical slow paced team tank simulator. However this version emphasizes realism and accuracy more than 360 and PC. Most of the game's mechanics are in-between the 360 and PC version which isn't a bad thing just shows that this game is meant for veterans who have an iPhone toThis mobile port is a compromise between the 360 and PC versions.

Most of the game's mechanics are in-between the 360 and PC version which isn't a bad thing just shows that this game is meant for veterans who have an iPhone to play WOT instead of carrying their back-breaking machines. This game may attract new followers but the 360 is still more accessible. Another hit on war-gaming.net's part but for the third time this game emphasizes grinding,accuracy,team work and tactical approaches and patience. (Not for everyone.)… Expand

    THE GOOD:
    ITS ADDICTIVE! And can be both horribly frustrating and incredibly fun to play.
    You will prefer Blitz to W.O.T PC if you like the reduced wait times and smaller maps. Easy to learn and hard to master. Devs seem to do a one step forward and one step back with most updates. (improving some features while ruining others) Not "pay to win", but definitely "pay to reduce the    THE GOOD:

    Not "pay to win", but definitely "pay to reduce the grind". You can totally enjoy this game without spending a dime.
    Learn to play by reading tutorials and watching videos, and master a tier before leveling up and you will be a much better player and enjoy the game much

    more. (Because winning is more fun than losing. lol)
    Its about the journey, not the destination. (ie: enjoy the grind)

    THE BAD:
    *My main complaint: I wish the matchmaking would be improved so the teams are more evenly balanced (not just by type and level of tank but ALSO BY PLAYER

    SKILL), it can be infuriating when you are put on a team of afk's, noobs and bad players when the other team has mostly good players and so no matter how

    great you play you are left alone and outnumbered very fast, and despite dealing the most damage and kills you die quickly in too short of a match. Or your

    team wins in a 7 to 0 blowout and if you are driving a slow tank the battle can be over before you even see an enemy tank.
    This extreme team imbalancing happens way too often and is the biggest flaw the game has.
    If there was an even number of bad players on each team then it would mostly cease to be a problem.

    Don't expect a tank sim or even semi-realistic experience anymore.
    The game used to be a lot better, but some terrible major updates have really hurt the game. Update 5.5 in particular sucked all the fun out of the lower

    tiers (you wont revisit them now after learning the game) and put a lot of bad players in higher tiers where they dont belong. The constant

    nerfing/creeping of tanks and lines you have spent hours working on under the never ending claim of "balancing" seems like just a greedy attempt to get

    money from new players and the gullible.

    Originally a game based on real and prototype tanks that actually existed, they are constantly introducing cartoon/fantasy tanks to appeal to children and

    get their parents money. Prepare to be bombarded with temporary ridiculous camouflages and useless avatars to try to get you to spend your cash.

    The regular prices they ask for tanks and items are RIDICULOUS!

    I dont recommend paying any money to support the billionaire devs until they fix the matchmaking, but if you do ALWAYS wait for 70% - 80% off sales, never

    pay full price!

    TL;DR
    Definately not perfect (the matchmaking can be terrible), but still recommended with reservations.

    Used to be 8 out of 10, now its 6 out of 10.    … Expand

    Blitz definitely can be qualified as a success. The seemingly impossible task – to port a thoughtful, slow-paced game to a platform that’s all about instant gratification – was accomplished. And the product is not a Frankensteinian monstrosity, but something new, fast-paced and captivating. [Jan 2015, p.100]

    This game is a smaller version of his PC brethren, with smaller levels and shorter matches. However, the gameplay is great.

    Mobile version of WoT remains a wildly satisfying F2P game that requires skill rather than deep pockets. [10/2014, p.68]
