    10/10 for the concept and gameplay, 3/10 for the p2w model and gold ammo. I can understand the premium payment which gives better exp and cash rewards, even the battle pass upgrade. But having ammo either for gold or for insane amounts of ingame cash favors p2w players and those with vast clan resources over the rest.

    Old Game Filled with Bots, instead of real people anymore. Full of cheating/hacker scripts and a complete money suck. They've tried to address the hacker/scripts for years but unable to - Skip this one for something more worth your time and $.

You may get lured into thinking this may be worth your time, but going beyond mid-tier tanking you will soon regret your life-decisions. I just hope that this company goes down the drain sooner rather than later, they do not deserve to be supported.… Expand

    This is a pay to win game with OP tanks that you will have to pay to get them called premium tanks, there are some premium tank that are free but it is hardly as good as a tank with cash value so the game does not balance between F2P and P2W making the experience for I'm pretty bad.

A heavy tank is slow due to the armor but WG sell a special ammunition that will mostly bypass it. Yet a heavy tank can not buy any ammo that removes a medium or lights speed. See how greed comes before game balance? They also nerfed a premium tank i bought callled KV2 eroding trust.

    They do not seem to care or respond, I personally feel that since 1.0 the game has been dying, Update 1.0 was amazing but every patch after killed more and more of what was good.    … Expand

    Well, random kills the game. You skill almost doesn't matter. The same as super negative community (especially in EU region). The same as continuous nerf of tanks, including premium! This is the same as when you buy brand new Mercedes and after couple of month they disable all your multimedia and remove wheels without explanation but with advertising new model. Don't recommend the game.

    Had a lot of fun during the last 10 and more Years - but now it's becoming MASSIVE more Pay to Win.
    The Matchmaker is also becoming more and more incredible, many old players are leaving - and the developers and marketing is giving a **** about their community....

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I usually try to be lenient when it comes to game reviews, yet I will not be with this one as I have played this game since June 2 2012 to current as of this review in 12/14/2022. When I first started playing this game it was fun an you didn't have to be such a try hard to do well in matches or try to be a sweaty boy to do well. You could have fun an just play, even if you got blown up early on in a match. This games Aracde style of play with its free to play pitch seems ok at first until you get past tier 7 thats when the really pay to win starts happening an you start being bombarded with premium tanks or vehicles for purchase. At tier 8 you start hitting what is called the meta tanks or the tanks that are popular at the time that has some new gimmick or some type of unseen buff to its stats to make it the big tank to buy an spend money on. Also this is the tier where you will also start seeing a significant amount of premium rounds or aka "gold rounds" fired at you tanks to makes sure they are more accurate an penetrate your armor better. Tier 8 is also the tier that features the least amount of historically accurate tanks that first draw most people in. Only tanks like the Tiger 2 or IS3 or the American Pershing tank are the historically accurate tanks in tier 8 and are amongst the weakest now making them a struggle to play through to get to their tier 9 and 10 counter parts. This is all thanks to chasing the newest Meta tier 8 premium that's being sold or pushed for money. Next thing is it's now extremely hard as a freeplayer who only plays not buying the premium days that give bonus's or premium gold currency in the game to make credits the ingame currency or experience that is used to research the next tech tree tank your want to try to play. Such as moving from the Tiger 1 to the Tiger 2 or IS1 to the IS3 or any other tank you maybe find interested in. Now this next point I'm about to make is the one that frustrates me the most. This game has a physics mechanics in it that tries to help simulate realism in the game. Yet it is governed by a game mechanic that all gamers are familiar with in one way or another RNG. There is a -25% rng to a +25% rng range for a total range of 50% difference your base stats that can effect your game play!!! Now this 25% is on things a few different things Like your guns accuracy which it reads as .20 shell dispersion at 100meters in the game meaning it can either make your guns shots more accurate or way less accurate missing your target all together and hitting the ground in front of you which happens a lot. There is also RNG rolls on your damage which your base damage is usually dependent on your caliber of your tanks gun or cannon. Such as a 105mm gun's base damage can be between 280-400 depending on your tanks country of origin or it's tier. So lets say its its base damage is 360 hit points well -/+ 25% rng on damage makes it go from 270 hp dmg to 450 hp dmg that is quite significant an could usually mean a one shot hit on what hp a enemy has left to leaving the enemy firing at you in battle still! Also finally to add there is RNG on your tank armor penetration on its rounds fired. Your tanks armor penetration is measure in millimeters of armor, now its does make a difference if its angled or straight up and down too. Now lets say your guns average round penetration is 218mm with 25% -/+ again, it goes between 164mm to 272mm penetration meaning if you low roll you won't pen even another tier 8's armor to being about to pen a tier 10 super heavy tanks armor. How ever most of the time you get -rng on accuracy and armor penetration make it super hard to do damage an win a match for your team making it so frustrating that you don't want to play the game anymore. Yet this is where they get you if you start paying more money into the game for like premium days that give you bonus's on getting more credits and experience earned per battle/match for some reason your rng improves just a little or you buy a new tank it seems to have a honeymoon period where the tank just handles beautifully even with a untrained crew.... This is what has made the game so frustrating for me an I've about had it now due to the Christmas Large Boxes aka loot boxes that give you premium days, new meta tanks, gold currency to spend to help with experience an credit earning an a few other resources. All in all I cannot in good faith recommend this game to anybody unless your a masochist who loves frustrating themselves with missing shots, or not penetrating a enemies armor or weakspots on their armored vehicles have. Go an try another game to play this one is one for people with deep pockets or sado-masochism fetishes.… Expand

    Since handing out the sixth sense perk to everyone the game has gone for the worst. Camouflage does not matter, you are spotted everywhere. Some maps are too small and are actually useless to some vehicles such as Ensk. What is the use to play and die within 30 seconds. Waste off my time game. Hopefully the game will die out as soon as you die in the game.

    The game is more like a casino. Gives significantly more negative emotions than positive ones. Set up fights where there is only an illusion that at least something depends on you, outright lies from wargays regarding the parameters of tanks, open help to those who pay and, of course, an extremely toxic environment. Oh yeah, European servers are full of russians.

    I decided for myself that I would pay wargays only if the number of days with a pleasant game would be more than negative ones. In the end, I don't pay them a cent :-)
    I wrote in the chat what I think about these thimblers. As a result, my win rate drops from 51% to already 47% and keeps going down. On the most successful days, the number of wins does not exceed 34%...
    The creators of this "game" do not even hide the fact that they can easily take away 25% of your penetration and hit, and your opponents will add the same 25%. If you look at the statistics of lost battles, they are almost always the same: opponents have significantly more penetration and hits. The easiest way to decide for you what the outcome of a fight will be is to "steal" your shots. What the wargays do. And it's literally your money.
    Many people understand what kind of garbage the greedy owners have turned into a once good game. This is evidenced by the number of bots in the game and the fact that paid "bloggers" and comments from their own bot farms appear more and more often on the Internet.
    Which, by the way, are clearly visible on this page :-)
    If the comments are "real", then they will be mixed with negative ones. But in our case, they come in "waves".    … Expand

    Developer knew their fake accts players are useless. So created lots of fake tanks for them to win battles against real players. Tanks are destroyed due to HP lost, nothing else. You will miss, no penetration & lost max HP against developer fake tanks. So, don’t waste your money on this game.

    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.
