    арта. ублюдская арта, которая закидывает по 2к+поджог из ниоткуда, а порой в те места, где ее и быть не должно. пока не сделают ее танком-сапортом или не урежут в ебеня, в игру не вернусь.
    думаю такое не всегда было.

    Serious flaws in the game. Elite player base in the higher tiers who love to troll less skilled players and a matchmaking system that promotes that kind of activity. Until they fix the system that creates the matches, the game is not worth playing.

On the system side of things the game is very poorly supported and is heavily CPU reliant also did a mention that the games does not support multicore CPU'S , the graphics are terrible and the BIGWORLD engine is very outdated and has no more to give. In conclusion the game has not changed since its beta in 2010 what is very worrying since games like DOTA 2 or LOL keep evolving and the devs actually do things and just talk about things they are going to change. I would not recommend this game to anyone. Expand

They do not care that the match making system which pairs teams together is completely unfair and is based on tank weights. It is not based at all on players skill, tank characteristics or anything even meaningful. This leads to battles where one team is wiped out fast without a hope of winning. You don't see or understand any of this until you get some experience.

    In addition, the comments below are correct about tanks disappearing before your eyes. I was just in a battle where a heavy tank (T114), which I was shooting at from 250 meters disappeared in an open field with nothing around him. In the next battle an amx elc moved to within 100 meters from me, ( couldnt see him moving), started hitting me, and I still couldnt see him until after he killed me. And this was after I was sitting completely behind a dead tank.

    I would love to tell you its the best game ever, but I am quitting today after the above because it is just so unfair. That and many players dont help out in battles (hide), and WOT does nothing about it or even care about it. Three days ago i witnessed a team member kill another and supposedly an automatic system will suspend the player, well nothing happened to him and when I wrote a ticket and forwarded a copy of the replay to WOT all I received was a canned response saying the auto system works.

    The real problem is WOT is run by Russians who dont care about anything, just your moeny to buy gold rounds.

    Extremely buggy, almost impossible to play without the best internet. Cant even use most wifi because many of the features become useless. For instance, cannot even SEE the enemy if your connection is slow. This makes it far more difficult than is has to be.

    This game says it is a "free online game" but once you reach a certain tier, you will lose in game credits because you will have to pay in game credits on ammunition and repairs. This forces you to buy premium tanks (earns more in game credits) with real money. The only premium tank that are effective at making credits are the ones that cost $40 to $80. ($_$)

This forces you to buy premium tanks (earns more in game credits) with real money. The only premium tank that are effective at making credits are the ones that cost $40 to $80. ($_$)

    The grinding in this game is ridiculous, you can spend up to a year on grinding a top tier tank. you will receive half of the winning team's XP(needed to unlock tanks and their modules) earned if you lose. The winners on a match is dependent on match making which most of the time places one team with highly skilled players and the other team with people who have no clue what is happening.

    Accuracy is all about luck. It is annoying when you wait around 7 seconds to fully aim your gun on the target 100 metres away, then miss, reload for 15 seconds and repeat for 5 times, spending minutes on accomplishing nothing.

    There are self propelled guns which can shoot across the map and one shot the majority of the tanks in the game. Many people say they are fine because they have a long reload, poor accuracy and long aim time. These cons do not weigh out its overpowering potential. its long reload is followed up by a shot that can half hit enemies even if it misses due to the splash damage. When The SPG hits the target or does not hit, the shot can easily knock out 5 to 8 modules and crew making the victim near to useless. Players only get 1 repair kit and med kit per game, unless they want to spend the amount of credits they have earned in 2 to 4 games (each game goes for an average of 8 minutes) for a large repair kit or med kit. The accuracy is based on luck and it is still not that bad considering that the shot does not need to hit the target to deal the overwhelming damage.
    It is near impossible to dodge the shot from SPGs without a fast tank and 90% of the maps in World of Tanks do not provide enough cover to hide from SPGs. In those maps, the amount of cover there are from SPGs, is around 2% to 6% of entire map. Players can only use around 0.5% to 1% of every map where it is safe from SPGs, where you are able to contribute with the team and where cover is present to hide behind from enemy tank fire.

    But when you buy gold, you can change with this gold the experience to free experience and then you can increase the skills of your soldiers.
    For player who don't pay money like me, it doesn't fair. Their tanks are skilled nearly full and I'm at the beginning.
    In the battles you can't kill the tanks of the better ranked players, because world of tanks protect this kind of players. Every shoot bounced and when they shoot, they can hit everything without problems.
    Player with an worst to normal rank are only feed. They don't have a chance.
    The matchmaking is very bad and very unfair.
    When I play roughly 30rounds, my team win only 5-8 times. The rest of the round I have only loses.
    The world of tanks support said only: the matchmaking is fair. Every round, every team has a win chance from 50 percent, but I see only something between 5 and 46 percent. Sometimes 60 percent.

    Want I try to say is, that everything at this game is a big fail.

    You can't join to tournaments, because you need an appointed rank. They, world of tanks, don't accepted my clan mates and me.
    I uninstalled the game and I never play this game again.
    I advise you to play another game.

    There other games where you can play without to buy something!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I read the most comments who hype this game so hard I could puke. (sorry my language)
    The game by itself is awesome. I like it really much and still playing it over years. But the developers ans some ideas and things how they manage it is horrible. A game should make 90% Fun and 10% no Fun. The 10% no Fun is the part when someone is better than you or some of your teammates are trolling or something. But World of Tanks makes 90% no Fun and 10% Fun. (don't matter what others say)
    For an example: You play with a Level 5 Tank (ingame called Tier 5 Tank) the game put's you in a match with Tier 5, Tier 6 and Tier 7 tanks. On Tier 7 (in this case) you have almost no chance to win in a 1 on 1 fight with a tank as a Tier 5. Mostly heared argument is "play as a team.", "circle it and attack from the side or behind". The chance to do this how and when you think is really rare. On this point the other tanks come into play. The enemy has teammates too and they don't come alone in the most cases. You get a shot by an artillery, or a one-shot by a camping heavy tank in the base (his job is to help at the front line). But let me end it here. I have about 4000 characters left, but anyhow there's too much to say. I rate the game as pretty good but when I had a score meter for the developers I would give 2/10.

    The game has some very annoying aspects. The artillery can snipe you from the other side of the map.
    That self isn't very annoying, but you can't even see them or even see where the shots come from.
    Light tanks are a joke, they are easily crushed by heavy tanks. the game isn't competitive at all. Even the pros have a win rate of 60%. That is because war-gaming doesn't let noobs lose

    But the worst of all..
    The grinding, the community and the moderatores.

    Graphics:Graphics are actually better then I expected,while its not crisis 3 or something with cry engine it definitely looks presentable.

    Gameplay:Gameplay runs into three categories,Random Battles,Clan Wars,and Training Rooms
    Random battles are essentially you get matched up with 29 other random people and play in 15v15 gamemodes,simple yet allows for a lot of strategy,if there was teamwork.
    Clan wars are your end game content once you have multiple top tanks,you team up with a clan and play other clans across a total war style world map for the gold currency,simple enough.
    Training Rooms are essentially custom games where everything from a life simulator to a humans vs zombies games,fun and creative but you can't advance your tanks in this,so its really just for when you're bored.

    Entertainment:As previously mentioned,this isn't a game you play for weeks on end,its better to play maybe a few times a week,as otherwise you'll get mad at the game and do bad,then get even more mad at the game.It being plagued with random number generators.

    Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this title and i'm interested for what wargaming brings next.

    Now, I am trapped. Wargaming know's this. It's by design, the way the EULA agreement is written in such a way snares you into a Sunk Cost Fallacy scenario. You feel indebted to play and grind until you drop trying to get your sunk cost/lost revenue out.

    -Moderation is the Age of Cold War Censorship, with hammer and cycle. If you speak out about what is wrong on the forums, you will swarmed by company shills, and trolls. Wargaming paid company shills, some are infact staff employees using alt user accounts that set you up to be moderated, banned, and punished for pointed out what is going on. I have never seen such a police stat run moderation staff. Moderators can do what ever they want, ban you over nothing while the Shills continue to post and contradict your post.

    -The community is the most corrosive, toxic, vindictive, elitist community I have ever dealt with.

    -A 3rd party site called WOT LABS is a chief instigator, stats website, which stirs unrest on the main WG Forum sites. They run a WNx system which keeps all the players agitated over stats, and demeans other players in game, an out of game, on the forum constantly. They block any suggestions to the developers that they can on the forum. They operate a flawed, skewed, damage stat which, is slanted toward the upper 1% of the player base.

    The employees on the NA, EU, other servers actually belong to this Wot Labs site, which is a contradiction to the Wagaming policy of not being involved with 3rd party stat sites, or adovacting 3rd party stats. There is a serious conflict of interest going on here. Behind the scenes labs has strings attached to WG that do not want to be exposed. They are deniers of the obviously rigged Software Patent WG uses on the Match Maker algorithm. They have destroyed the community, and foster elitism, and nihilistic behaviors all in the game.

    -The (MM) Match Maker is one of the worst Match Makers I have ever seen in operation. How WG got this through the court system I will never know? It would never make it in the real world, because real competition would smell a rat 1 mile off. This is one of the most "Rigged" pieces of software* I have ever seen in operation. They claim randomness, balanced teams...?? Anything but that. Entire teams destroyed in less than 1.20 mins. or less. Not even close!! You can have as many as 15 of these games in a row,, No problem, and lose count even. Keeping your win rate right at 50% or below. Win Streaks are bad, because you know the punishment is coming sooner or later. (of no fault of your own)

    -Massive super-platoons of 3 purple players, when MM stacks them all on one side of the battle. While your team has the less skilled players. Utter disaster, while these high stat players insult and demean everyone.

    -Don't even bother mentioning a Skill Based Match Maker to correct the problem, because the high state players tell the WG devs. they don't want it, because the do not want to play equal skilled players of their unicum, purple status, because it would for their "Stats" down to a lower color. And it would expose them for the frauds they are in game as stat padders. Thus, they need to lessor skill player to "club" an feast off of to pad their stats to keep them looking good for the right to look down upon the rest of the community.

    -the NA has a low server population which is dropping, and is making the MM even more unstable at balancing the high stat player platoons equally on the teams. More Seal Clubbing. Thus, more players leave the NA even more frustrated and disgusted.

    -RNG another skill robbing, game controlling tool used to manipulate the game to give a % metric fixed out come according the MM patent script, according to the algorithm threshold values. Yes, it controls the game armor pen chances/values, skill effects, and all sorts of other things, but it can lower damage rolls, and other key values which can deliver a loss vs a win.

    -They would rather sell new premium tanks for cash, than create new Maps. This is most suffocating. An is not very good for players. I think they removed maps, because Maps are part of game control as well, and constitute indirect nerfs to certain classes of tanks.

    -Customer Service is an abomination..... once they have your money, "They don't know you anymore." An give you copy and paste lip service. They don't even take tickets any more. In game reporting is a Joke.

    -They basically have that EULA agreement that gives the power to walk all over you. If you force customer service to do something, they throw the EULA back in your face and say, "Get an attorney if you don't like it." (that's your customer service in the end. ) AN some people already have gotten attorneys.

    If you enjoy 'just riding along' in match after match where the winner is effectively chosen before the first shot is fired...then WoT is just what you've been waiting for.

    Things to like...
    Great graphics and game controls.
    Tech trees and equipment upgrades.
    Crew training & perks system.
    Missions, special events and rewards.
    Clan, group and team play.

    Things to loathe...
    Months / years of non stop grinding required to achieve high tier equipment (unless you pay for it with $'s)
    Trolls, seal clubbers, team killers, sexually harassing chat, spammers, whiners and ceaseless raging.
    The worst match maker of any on-line game.
    High costs (premium account, gold ammo, upgrades) required to be competitive.

    Fatally flawed offering easily bested by several similar games. Not nearly as fun or satisfying as it is expensive and irritating.

It is awful, has a lot of bugs and the armour model is way too much detailed. sometimes you will experience radnom penetrations or bounces jut because you hit an oddly shaped part of the hull or turret. The servers are broken, slow and awful. the community is awful. You have to play horrible tanks in order to get the better one. AND still it will not be worh it just because you are not a paying costumer. I bought Maus the tier 10 German tank And the game is still boring because player like to play with money and arty players are XVM snipers that pick on the best player in enemy team. Massive in-balances, arty is horribly over powered and Wargaming don't know what fair play is. They have no idea about balnce. They know nothing about WW2 and how horrible it was. on the forum you are dictated what to say and you are not alowed to say certain things about their game (basically dictaorship) You get banned for try to help them and EU and US player get ignored. They only listen to Russians and Belorusians. So US and EU players are just there to geve them money NOTHIG else! They simply don't care about the US and EU player base. Whant kind of sick dev or moderator kills the thread on frum, bans you from playn the game just bcause you said something does not work.They are telling a clear message to ALL EU and US player base "**** off we just need you to feed us with money and thats is it." unless you are a youtuber but that is still qestionable. Here is a quote form Obsidiand Entertainment's Q&A on Armored Warfare another Free2Play.

    "Question: Will there be a way to visually distinguish "battle hardened" vehicles?
    Answer: No, it will be completely up to players to make any visual customizations when the camouflage system is introduced, for example. We do feel that making such vehicles look distinctive would make them a target for griefers."

    This is the kind of dev I want to see making a game. In Obsidian Entertainmet they care about their player base and try to make the game fun. So what i am Trying to say is DO NOT play World of Tanks but Play Armored Warfare instead. It's way more fun and payingt 100 bucks in to Armored Warfare is more worth it.
    Do Not support Wargaming.net. They are awful and mean. So therefore I will give it -10 but since ther is no -10 I will give it Zero, big fat Zero.

    The game is utterly **** Half of the games you play your team does not work with you and you are powerless to affect how the game is going. The other half of the games you play are games where you are matched up against higher tier enemies and you still cannot do anything. A multiplayer game on which nobody plays for team and you cannot affect the game on any level. Horrible game design.

    It's fun at first, can't deny that, but the problems in the game quickly overwhelm the fun. At it's heart, this game is completely pay to win and it isn't even a small amount. You can pay hundreds of dollars for premium tanks and equipment and proceed to run amok with impunity.

If you are one of the people in a standard tank, all you exist for is to give the premiums experience since you can't beat them. I can't imagine it's all that fun being in an invincible tank, but there's plenty of low self-esteem people with lots of money to waste who do nothing but buy premiums to win. Expand

    I can recommend playing this game, as long as you understand and accept this:
    1) You have to play it like an Arcade. Log, run, shoot and die. Never care about points, about rankings or ladders, about team play. No more than 30 minutes each time. Will be fun.
    2) Modding is mandatory, not an option. Download aslains stuff. Basic features are missing in the barebone game. 3) Tiers. Not

    2) Modding is mandatory, not an option. Download aslains stuff. Basic features are missing in the barebone game.
    3) Tiers. Not only 1 to 4 are fun to play. As long as you are not matched against Tier 10 guys, will be fun. So... is useless going beyond Tier 7 stuff. The T10 guys are golden ammo, golden tank, golden cheat.
    4) NEVER give even 1 dollar, Euro to these guys. The way to play FUN is to play FREE. This game is the worst pay2win engine i ever met. It is said that they make 1.5 millon Euro .... a day!! Dont care of the golden ammo, you can kill those guys anyway.
    5) Type of tank: i prefer Arty, because i can hit even the biggest guys even if they have some cheats (sorry "paid things") activated. But antitank sniping is OK and also some heavies or Mid (mid are very difficult to play well). I am in the yankee branch: T29, T20, T67, M44 (22 sec recharge :P). Arty only care about recharge time, other things doesnt care in the "Arcade". Light tanks not for me. Scouting is not fun.
    6) Short tactics: Heavies go ahead and shot everything you see, only cover against Arty. Mids run fast , flank and shoot...and die. Antitank hide, snipe, hide again, snipe, they spot you , you die. Arty go "the place" to shoot. Get the biggest guys first, they are easier, they will hate you... is very fun to doom a golden boy!!!
    7) Community. Never care about login there, there are a loy of guys very angry because they pay real money and they get almost nothing. They will not help you, they cannot.

    In short: if you play like me is a nice 9. If you do not play Arcade like, is very frustrating, its a 1. Average: 5

    A word to my wargaming friends: if you design this way a game, its up to you.

    Последние несколько лет игра скатывается всё ниже и ниже, но разработчикам на это плевать. 1 из 10 за такое отношение разработчиков к своему продукту.

    Bucketloads of depth and surprisingly simple to jump into. It's free, too! [Jan 2013, p.84]

    World of Tanks is the ultimate tank battle game, and with a price tag of 0 whatever your currency is - there really isn't anything major to complain about.

    It combines aspects of great RPG games and first person shooters, wraps them into a package that will appeal to the historian, and tosses in a dash of addiction to combine into one great final product.
