    This game is just a joke... that's why you should never trust critics, yes like those critics if you go and play a few battles it sounds fun, but as you get to tier 8 and play you realize this game is nothing but a money trap!

    why this game deserves a zero? 1.Bad players, most of them are Russian and 90% of the time there are 2 kids fighting and friend hitting instead of playing. 2.

    why this game deserves a zero?
    1.Bad players, most of them are Russian and 90% of the time there are 2 kids fighting and friend hitting instead of playing.

    2. They do nothing about hacks, AFK Players and so on. they don't care

    3. The mm is a joke, it only looks for number of TD and SPG and heavies and fails most of the time! The MM is not even slightly skill based, you know for sure who's going to win and lose at the begging of the game.

    4. all they ask for is money money money!!!!! this game is not skill based, not at all, it's based on who plays the longer and who pays more, if you pay you easily get more skills, more equipment. and a lot of less trouble, no the gold ammo is not a huge advantage and premium tanks are worse then normal ones, BUT! they let you have a crew of like 5 skills while int he same time a normal user will barely have 2 skills

    5.They only pay attention to graphics, they constantly update graphics, add stupid football with a tank modes which is ridicules, but don't even spend a second on balance or anything. If this game was made by a normal developer or a good company like blizzard or something, It would be one of the best games ever! I mean it has so much potential. shooting with a tank is a really different experience then anything else! I mostly play rtos or other things but this is different, I actually don't have the slightest interest in tanks but in here the angle matters, you can get your crew damaged or your modules, you have to hide your tanks hull, other stuff, it's so much fun! but as I was saying

    6. The mechanics. yes..... I have been playing this for 2 years and i know, but Many times i have seen O-Is (worst camo) not even get spotted from 50m, yes they should get proxy spotted at that distance no matter what but they don't. and my sixth sense is just random. it sometimes does't work!

    there are many problems with this games the spotting is hilarious. the penetration mechanics are faulty but only a little, the main problem is spotting

    7. The rng... some day, you wake up, you don't aim somehow your shells magically follow the target even if you miss you hear (with hit them hard!) but after like 6 hours you log in again, and your shells go even outside the circle, and you fully aim, then your shell just goes to another direction, eventhing is against you you get spotted no matter what. it's just luck

    8. the matches, theres only random and most of the time it's like this 15 kills red 3 kills. either a fast and easy victory which is not fun at all. either an awful lose which you don't get the chance to do anything!

    money helps you a lot but in the end everything is still random :)    … Expand

    WORST GAME BALANCING I'VE EVER SEEN IN A GAME. THE COMPANY ONLY WANTS MONEY AND NOTHING ELSE, PUTTING MORE BUNDLES AND NEW PREMIUM TANKS ON THE TABLE WHILE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO MAKE THE GAME ENJOYABLE TO PLAY. All the other positive review were written simply because they were not deep into the game enough to know all the bad things of this game.

    - Pay-to-win aspects (OP premium tanks, Object 268 v4 etc.)
    - Very steep learning curve
    - Artillery is unenjoyable for both the player and the receiving end
    - Retarded high alpha guns
    - Gold spam. Screw armor, most people can just press the 2 key and cut through your armor like butter - may as well be driving a paper tank!
    - Armor is pointless - see above
    - Toxic community: No matter how hard you try, people will judge and berate your actions like no tomorrow, even if you did the right thing. Have fun receiving hate mail after every match!
    - Wargaming's decisions. This company has ridiculously poor decision-making abilities. Not only do they refuse to listen to the players and community contributors, they completely ignore any advice thrown at them. All they care about is money and they will try to earn cash by all means - over-buffing tanks, releasing new OP premium tanks etc.
    - Horrible low tier experience. Wargaming really just doesn't give a damn about balance in low tiers. New players will enter the battle in stock and underpowered tanks and get raped by pretty much everything in the way

    Overall:
    If you're a dead set tank enthusiast, then the game might be worth it for you. Otherwise, you can pretty much go screw yourself as Wargaming doesn't give half a damn about their customers and treats them like idiots.    … Expand

    I've been playing this game for a long time. The game is the epitome of how to run a free to play game, and at the same time, why free to play games are killing video games in general.

The game is the epitome of how to run a free to play game, and at the same time, why free to play games are killing video games in general.

    It preys on users by coaxing them into a game that's fun. You spend some hours playing and think, "well, if I pay a little bit of money, I can get more xp and credits!" So, you invest a little of your hard earned cash, without really even knowing how to play the game skillfully yet. Since you don't really know what you're doing yet, the game is still fun though; so spending your money is worth it. Over a couple months, you start realizing certain things about the game...terrible things...but since you already invested your money and a great deal of time, it would be a waste of that money if you just gave the game up entirely, right? So you keep playing, and even invest more money. This is where you realize you've been duped. You have already invested enough money where it feels stupid to just give it up, but at the same rate...the game sucks. But since they've already snagged you, you still put in another 8k matches before re-asking yourself the question, "wtf am I still doing with this PoS installed??", play another 8k matches and rinse and repeat.

    The biggest problem they have is balance. Granted, balancing in an MMO is not a trivial task, but Wargaming has shown they truly don't care. They have said on multiple occasions that matchmaking is not broken, and they will not do anything to fix it. But this isn't true. The problem is that you are either a tier 8 in a mostly tier 10 match, you have all the skilled players on one team, or worse yet: both. There is nothing more frustrating in the world to be in a mostly tier 10 match in a T28 (14 tier 10s, and your lonely T28), where the majority of your team sucks and thinks suicide is how you win, where your T28 is one of the slowest tanks in the game and can't relocate to help carry a bad team.

    Grinding is such a chore in this game, because lower tier games you are almost certainly going to be on a bad team (understandably because they are new players), and as you get higher in tier, some players refuse to play anything other than tier 10 tanks because they are such big panzys that they refuse to be anything other than top tier. The majority of your grind will be tier 8-9 (the last two grinding tiers), and you will end up in a lot of tier 10 matches, in which some of those matches seem largely unfair. Frankly, WoT has a large enough community where they can do one of two things: skill-based matchmaking, or tier-based matchmaking where its a single tier spread. Having a 3 tier spread at launch made sense because of the smaller community, and lowering to 2 tier spread (what it is now) made more sense as the community grew, but at this point the community is massive so one of those two things has to be done, and it may even be possible to have tier-based matchmaking and a single tier spread, but I would be understanding if they only did one. I can wait a minute to get into a match. Either way, they choose to do nothing...

    Their second biggest problem is the community. Like anywhere on the internet, people are generally jerk-offs and not only will not help you, but will go out of their way to troll you. They recently added a feature to disable in-game chat, which is hands down the only thing I've seen them implement that I was excited about. A lot of clans use the WN8 rating, which is understandable, to judge how good a player is in order to decide who gets into the clan. The problem with this is, if you don't have a 1800-2000 WN8 rating, you won't ever get into a good clan. My WN8 rating is considered between Good and Very Good, with normally my daily-weekly WN8 in the Unicum range. That being said, because I didn't have an overall WN8 that was Unicum, it means I could never get into any decent clans, and the only people I could play with were players that were far worse than me. Now, I'm no snob, but occasionally I would like to platoon up or do clan wars with players that I don't have to carry 9 matches out of 10. Because of how snobby the community is though, you can only get into a clan or platoon with good players if you are already a unicum.

    Other than those two things, there are some minor (I say minor compared to what I've already mentioned, but probably wouldn't be minor in any other game) issues. Despite that there are only two severe problems I'm mentioning here, I'm still giving this game a 1 out of 10; this should say something about how massive these problems are. I hesitate even to say that, I may even enjoy this game if those two problems didn't exist. What I will say, is that the community in WarThunder is far more quiet in game, far less 'trollish', and I don't see the matchmaking issues that exist in WoT (at least not as sever as WoT has it), and I have not paid any money towards WarThunder, and I still prefer WarThunder; take that for what it's worth.    … Expand

Its sad to see refined simulations get destroyed by the freemium scam. Beware becoming addicted to the simulation aspect.

    When I played this game for the first time it was great, you had a few countries with enough tanks and each tank class had his own tier what makes it fun.

Months later they decided to change the damage of the tanks.

    This game is not fun anymore because there are too many countries with their own tanks, tanks will be nerfed and removed. (like T-50-2) Graphics will be **** up after a few patches. War gaming promisses a lot of things like HD models and other stuff. No we are a few updates further and still we have a couple HD models tanks. They plan was to make all tanks HD.

I can confirm: it's rubbish in every aspect.

    The theme: this game is about tanks. To be more specific, it is about armored vehicles that were developed between the early 20s and the late 60s. This includes light, medium and heavy tanks, as well as self propelled artillery and tank destroyers. You won't find vehicles armed with rockets or smooth bore guns, however. Players will spend most of their time in so called random battles, where two teams of 15 players will compete. The nationality of the tanks absolutely does not matter you will see Soviet, German and American tanks in both teams, as well as many others.

    The graphics and game physics: this is probably one of the weakest points of the game. The game is based on the old bigworld engine (nicknamed bugworld for a reason). This means that even with the recent upgrades, the graphics of the game is beyond today's standards, but the game is a resource hog anyways, and you can't run it on max graphics unless you happen to be playing on the main supercomputer of NASA. Physics: the main problem are probably terrain dynamics, even the smallest bump can significantly slow down a tank, and even the most maneuverable ones have trouble climbing up on moderately steep slopes.

    Maps: in one word: **** First of, there are too few maps, and what's even worse, not more than 5 are in rotation at once (map is randomly chosen by the matchmaker from the rotation). Heavy tanks will spend most of the time climbing up hills at 10 km/h or less instead of fighting, and most maps are basically a bunch of narrow corridors that won't let light and medium tanks flank. on top of this, maps, especially newer ones are horribly balanced, and give huge advantages to one team (more cover on their side etc).

    Artillery: self propelled artillery is one of the 5 vehicle classes in the game. It deserves special attention because of the special way it works. Artillery drivers can enter a bird's eye view, and aim from that. They see a juicy target, aim, and click. And the unsuspecting target usually gets either one-shot-killed or "just" loses half to two thirds of their HP. Artillery can repeatedly do this without the fear of retaliation, making the class incredibly OP even in the hands of absolute noobs, and the developers refuse to do anything about it for years.

    The playerbase: retards. Seriously. There is no better definition for it, half of the playerbase is absolute potato-tier retards, and about 90% of the other half are just moderately stupid. I'm not talking about lack of skill, but the absolute lack of logical and analytical thinking. They can not tell the front of their tanks from the rear. The forum community is different, it is just full of trolls.

    Public relations and customer support: it is often said that the devs don't listen to the players, and it's absolutely true but IMHO most of the time it's a good thing (see previous part about the players). The problem is that they are openly and admittedly Stalin lovers and push commie agenda whenever they have an excuse for it. Customer support: write a ticket about your problem. get a smartass automated answer that has nothing to do with your problem. That is all. Ah and one more thing: all forum moderators (wg staff) must have at least one "sock puppet" account. What this means: infinite pro-WG shilling both on the forums and at places like this.

    Matchmaking and RNG: probably the worst thing. Players could cope with having to play against tanks that are ridiculously more powerful than their own at times. What players can't cope with is that the matchmaking is (supposedly) indifferent to the players' skill. Supposedly means that in fact it is rigged and will force good, but non-paying players to be the cannon fodder against higher tier tanks in about 80% of the battles. The random number generator, which influences gun accuracy, penetration and damage also appears to be rigged to favor noobs as much as possible, most likely to give them a chance to win and prevent them from ragequitting. Needless to say that WG denies rigging, even tough they have a copyrighted pattern for the MM system that I described earlier..

    That is about all, there are more game mechanics that can be confusing or even unfair, for example the spotting system, and all the pay to win features, but those can be circumvented with skill mostly, so I don't consider them to be bad things.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я просто напишу о проблемах в игре и по скольку разрабы говорят что не надо ныть просто так и ничего не предлагать, напишу и о решении данных проблем.

    1)Карты (На некоторых невозможно играть на определённой технике. Прим. Е100 на малиновке/прохоровке)
    Решение: Вывести карты из игры/дать игроку выбирать ~5 карт, на которые он никогда не хочет попадать, не исправляйте эти карты, это им мало поможет.

    2)Арта (Ограничение арты в бою не помогает.)
    Решение: сделать режим случайных боёв без арты/поставить ограничение на 1 арту в бою/понерфить арту в говно, так, чтобы на ней невозможно было играть, как это сделали со многими танками в игре.

    3)Новая точность, с которой можно вполне себе неплохо стрелять на КВ-2 ББшками через всю карту и попадать в 90% случаев по ЛТ, если взять правильное упреждение.
    Решение: понерфить точность, не до прежнего уровня конечно, но понерфить.

    4)Сербоголда (если игрок более-менее знает, куда стрелять, он пробьёт вас, как бы вы ни стояли и не ёрзали, а благодаря новой точности он конечно же попадёт туда, куда целился)
    Решение: понерфить пробитие голдой(можно и дамаг)

    5)ТТХ некоторых танков (разрабы никак не могут апнуть мауса и кв-5, которые просто неиграбельны опять на той же малиновке или прохоровке.
    Решение: апнуть эти танки, игра не умрёт от этого.

    6)Тестеры с 46% побед на основных аккаунтах -_-

    7)Основная аудитория - школьники, а это значит что вы не увидите тимплея в этой игре, можете не надеяться на союзников, они вам никогда не помогут.
    Решение: Невозможно

    8)Соснулые прем танки. Зачем вообще такие выпускать? Без какой-либо фишки, просто убогий по всем параметрам танк, который никому не нужен. Например суперпершинг, он не едет, не танкует и без голды на нем нет смысла играть. Ладно, есть соснулые премы, без разницы. Нет бы исправиться и выпустить что-то стоящее, но нет ребят, держите т-34-3, STA-2 и т-54 первый образец, которые абсолютно никому не нужны, когда есть FCM.

    Мне нравилась эта игра, в 2012 году, когда я только начинал. Разрабы многое обещали и я верил и ждал,с каждым годом становилось все хуже, но появлялись новые обещания, в видео разрабы говорили что нет, мы не запускаем игру, мы стараемся все сделать как лучше, просто у нас не хватает времени на всё сразу, но с каждым годом обещаний становилось всё больше, а выполнялись только 10% от всех.

    P.s. Хз зачем я это написал, разрабы это либо уже видели и им похер, либо никогда этого не прочитают, но я честно пытался написать без мата и адекватно объяснить мою точку зрения, хотя это бесполезно, потому что всем насрать.

    Ну и да, не советую сейчас начинать/продолжать играть в эту игру, потому что зря потратите деньги, а главное своё время.

    Ставлю 0, чтобы когда на этом сайте рейтинг танков опустится ниже, чем у игр от мейл ру, разработчики задумались и начали хоть что-нибудь делать, я всё ещё хочу верить, что они не совсем забросили игру, ведь всё ещё можно исправить, я не знаю почему они этого не понимают. Им же лучше, если они исправят игру, будет идти больше денег, а игроки будут играть в хорошую игру и все счастливы...

    P.p.s. Моя основа - 18к боёв, 55% 1300 кпд, твинк - 4к боёв, 63% 1800 кпд, 2400 wn8.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The developers of this game completely ignore the wishes of users. Believing that they know better what you need to play at the same time do not really even play in his own game. Ignoring not only the audience but also vododelov (bloggers) to competitive players. Actually people who ignored him in a sense bring money and popularity.
    The consequence of that is suspected of mental retardation department geymbalansa or their mental health.
    In past issues of game balance, there is another huge problem: the promise. WG Office in Minsk can not promise anything and do not do. But US office WG promised nothing. And he made for 1-1.5 years in the Xbox One that Minsk promises to 5 years for the PC.
    There is no doubt about the mental state of people in the US office WG. So they got rid of the client part of Big World. According to current realities World of Tanks they need to raise a saint.

Then comes WOT's ongoing scam. One day you'll open your account and your tier 10 tank is no longer there. Instead its replaced. This in itself isn't that big a deal considering they have the right to alter...or delete tanks...but here's the scam: the tank they replace it with will be so bad ...so inferior...you won't want to play it...and therefore have to start once again (thereby spending more money). Don't believe me? Check the changes they've made over the last two years alone. This is a fact...every time. In the customers mind its about value. In WOT its about the scam of a dollar. Making it worse...Not only have they replaced a tank that in so inferior and so insignificant in a battle, they will actually still try to blow smoke up your ass by telling you how good it is. Seriously, they will sell you a Volkswagen but proclaim its a Porsche. In short, its a scam and fraudulent. So just beware when it happens to you...and if you play long enough... it will. Play for free and you're only out the hours you put into it. Know that. I've seen it several times, and learned the hard way last week. Here's the perfect example; a tier 10 WT replaced by a grill...one of the worst tanks in the game...shoot once and you're dead. You've been warned. Play for free but don't spend your money.… Expand

How do you run out of time to meet a deadline that's the same every year? It doesn't make sense. The whole premise of this game is realistic vehicles, but they add vehicles that were never even designed conceptually. Shells should not have dispersion. There is no way for shells to exit the barrel of a gun any way other than straight. It doesn't make any sense. How can a shell go up if the gun is straight? Don't get me started on the spotting mechanics. some vehicles are impossible to see, and they can kill you before you ever spot them. Artillery is the dumbest mechanic in any game I have ever played. The teams are never anywhere close to even. Most games end in a blowout. Over 75% of the maps are garbage. The worst part by far is the pay to win aspect. Premium tanks have become better than their standard counterparts. Skorpion G, Defender, and the Progetto 46 are just a few examples. This game makes me want to shoot myself directly in the temple.

Since it's birth it almost did not evolved at all despite how much money it generates and they better invest those money in rocket development to kill more people in post USSR countries than put aside a little bit and improve anything. All improvements in the game are associated with nerfs, vehicle removals by replacing with crappy counterparts, making sales by forcing down the throat useless overpriced vehicles (if you are willing to pay for it 20-80£ - for one, ONE vehicle with bunch of crap with it just to boost its price).

    Game itself is infinite grinding. You grind for a tank, then grind for each of its component because it is unplayable until you have all top components. Then you grind to gather credits to get next parts and tanks. This is basically even more terrible if you are not really good player and then you need premium account to boost your income or premium vehicle as well as then you have 50% bonus to income from both. But driving premium vehicle you waste your time as xp you gather is going not for a tank you want to grind but for that crew you put in it and premium tank. But no worries - you can transfer your xp from premium tank to free for all... for a ridiculous price.

    This game seriously has so much bad points that it is hard to scope. Every game sooner or later will be painful and frustrating. Thanks to widely used gold ammo that has a lot better penetration (still not doomsday weapon stuff), skilled players wolfpacking in medium platoons and wrecking all clueless players on the map. What is more terrifying - players. Players are so bad. o so bad and so frustrating to play this game and give your best efforts when half of team MOST of the time are throwing away the game. It is like cleaning beautiful painting on the wall from pigeon crap while pigeons are still crapping during process. Best way would be to shoot all those pigeons or block them from accessing but it is impossible for sole reason - those things give so much money to this game that company values sacrifices common sense over more £$.

    Do not play this game if you are looking for something fun in a long run. There are thousands, THOUSANDS of better games worthy your money and time. It is addictive game. Jut like any other shooter. This game is no strategy game. All strategy involves going to he same parts of the map doing the same and fighting against outdated mechanics.

    Game engine is outdated;
    Game mechanics are stupid (tank is invisible 100m away from you in open space if it has good camo skill);
    Players are like a zombies - kids, drunk people or just clueless;
    Game suffers from constant running bots;

    I have to be brutally honest about this game without any form of biased opinions from diehard fanboys to this game influencing me. I have played world of tanks for a good year now and I can't take it anymore. I have found 4 major glaring flaws among countless lesser flaws that just kill this game for me.

I have played world of tanks for a good year now and I can't take it anymore. I have found 4 major glaring flaws among countless lesser flaws that just kill this game for me.
    Flaw 1: The Grind
    You can easily get to a tier 5 tank of your choosing in a relatively short time but after that it becomes a mind numbing slog to get to any tank that is higher. It took me 8 months of continuous play, waste of my life, to finally get a tier 8 tank and that's when I discovered how POINTLESS it is to have a high tier tank. You gain almost no silver or go negative in silver every game with high tier tanks just to restore ammo if you do well, or repair your tank if you die. I could make no silver to buy anything. So the only thing I could do to avoid spending a boatload of cash on this pittance is to grind for hundreds of battles on low tier tanks just to make up for the vast amounts of silver I'd loose on high tiers that I had to play hundreds of battles to finally buy. How is that fun???
    Flaw 2: Matchmaking
    For those fans who say this game has better matchmaking now than it did before, no, it is still broken. How can you defend this when you are a tier 6 medium tank placed into matches with tier 9 heavies constantly? Your low tier tank has no chance to pierce even the rear of most of these high tier tanks you are forced to fight and that's if you can survive the 20 seconds to get behind them. How can you possibly gain xp or silver if you die within a couple minutes without doing a single thing or you are forced to run and hide in a ditch just to wait for the game to either end or for the enemy to finally find you and take you out in a heartbeat? And don't say "do your best to support your team" or "scout the enemy at least". How can you support if you can do NOTHING and how can you scout if your tank is going 15 KPH? The matchmaking is broken. Players should not be forced to face tanks 3-4 tiers above them like I just got done doing for 50 games straight that made me finally end my WoT career.
    Flaw 3: Premium features
    Premium is ridiculously overpowered and is also way too out of control. I just looked at the current packs on premium. 150 dollars for 3 tanks, a month of premium, 500k silver, and some premium ammo!!! Are you insane???!!! I can buy The Witcher 3 collector's edition with that money. And speaking of premium ammo, you can literally buy special ammo that I've read the stats for and nearly double your penetration power and/or damage. Is this why I'm seeing tier 6 tanks doing over 500 damage on every shell fired? That is definitely pay to win. You can even buy different types of premium shells in those horribly overpriced packs that give even more insane power to you. That is not fair. I've seen what these shells do and I bet that is the real reason the matchmaking is still broken in order to force players to buy these shells just so they can fight the high tier tanks they keep getting matched against. Good marketing scheme right there. You also NEED to buy premium accounts if you want to get to tier 10 tanks without going through a massive grind just to accumulate enough silver since premium also gives a 50% increase to silver just for buying the stupid service. You can even buy upgrades to your tank with the premium gold that can give some really wild bonuses to your tank. Now imagine facing opponents with that stuff, fun right? And why do I have to pay just to reassign crew members to other tanks? You even have to pay just to customize your tank. Customizing! That is one thing gamers love to do and you charge for it!
    Flaw 4: Hacking
    WoT has no dedicated matchmaking service and hackers go wild on it. Wargaming.net has no support staff, no monitoring at all. I can't believe the crap I've seen. I was in one game once that lasted 5 seconds because right as the countdown ended and the match began, a tier 8 artillery on the opposing team somehow managed to summon a hail of shells onto our spawn at the start and kill us all, ending the game with 15 kills. :D FUN! The only people who could defend this behavior is the hackers themselves. How can this qualify as good gameplay? I can't count how many times I've died to random shots out of nowhere while my crew with the sixth sense upgrade were showing I was undetected.

    All in all this is a great concept for a game but poor design choices and outright lazy and greedy practices just ruin this experience for anyone who intends to play it long term. Do not invest your time into this game unless you have a lot of money to blow or you have a life you want to waste just like the year I wasted.    … Expand

    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.

    I'm just a regular solid player, 53% winrate. This game is not worth trying or even playing for some longer period of time.
    Here are some reasons why:
    1) Pay-to-play - you have to have a premium account so you can grind experience and credits for your next tank(s) with ease, much easier than with regular account. WG even reduced credit income on many premium and non premium tanks. 2)    I'm just a regular solid player, 53% winrate. This game is not worth trying or even playing for some longer period of time.

    2) Pay-to-play - keep in mind that you will have to buy a premium tank if you want to grind credits fast and to train your crew members fast. The higher tier - the better (tier VIII premiums are the best obviously).
    3) Pay-to-play - you sometimes need to shoot premium ammo, and that is more expensive than regular ammo. Similar with other premium stuff, they are better than regular.
    4) Pay-to-win - Last generation (2017) of premium tanks is **** OP or very near that state. If you are still able to buy one of those tanks, you will be able play and win more easely. Some of the famous YouTubers called them "idiot-proof tanks" :) They are OP or near OP in tier VIII and tier IX. Even tier X will have some trouble to get you down.
    5) Pay-to-win - by introducing such OP **** tanks, WG is forcing all players to shoot premium gold ammo more often. Therefore, you will have to buy premium tanks and account more often so you can take some impact in those fights, because you will get weak credit incomes.
    I'm sure there are more stuff going wrong with this game. I pointed out just some of the most important out there.
    BTW, a company that doesn't give a **** about Community Contributors, streamers and players/clients, as long as they are milking the money from them... No comment. Congrats!
    Day by day, game is becoming more and more useless. Unless you want to give real money to some company like WG and then you will realise youre just another gamer who was tricked. Don't waste money or time on this. Life is much better without this cancer. Trust me on that. Cheers!    … Expand

Казалось бы - это новый жанр (так оно и есть), тем более про танки, танки любят все - руби бабло и радуйся жизни. Но ты недооцениваешь мощь картошкиного геймдизайна. Итак, минусы и особенности. Попадешь ли ты во врага, пробьешь ли ты его и если нанесешь урон - то сколько - это все рандомные события. Потому что пробитие и урон +-25%, а круг, в который может попасть твой танк - такой, как будто ствол не закреплен в башне и у стрелка нет прицела, стрельба производится на глаз. И даже если ты полностью сведешься в стоящий почти вплотную к тебе танк - ты можешь попасть неведомо куда и не пробить, даже если стреляешь в картонный танк, у которого броня 20 мм, он стоит к тебе боком, а ты стреляешь бронебойным снарядом с пробитием 250мм - можешь не пробить даже вплотную. Дальше - карты размером с площадь городскую, и только самые большие, точнее самая большая - километр квадратный. То есть 30 танков воюют почти вплотную. Артиллерия. Ты стоишь на танке, и тут тебе прилетает сверху фугас от арты, взрывается метрах в 5 от тебя при этом оглушает экипаж (что это - вообще неизвествно), выбивает тебе двигатель, ломает ствол и убивает командира. А ты на Маусе едешь. При этом арта с 120 мм фугасом оглушение наносит, а ФВ 4005 например, с калибром 183 мм - не наносит оглушение. В игре вроде как урон с выстрела зависит от калибра. Но при этом есть у тебя танк 120 мм пушка, у него обычный бронебойный и подкалиберный наносят одинаковый урон. Но у подкалиберов же калибр меньше, они поэтому и называются подкалиберым - урон-то почему такой же, если вы его от калибра считаете? - А потому что мы геймдизайнеры, а ты в задницу иди. Засвет, механика обнаружения и маскировки. Едет танк по середине поля - и его не видно. Потом он на один метр ближе к тебе оказывается - и его видно тут же. Есть куст. Сзади куста в 15 метрах стоит пять маусов - ты подъезжаешь на 60 метров к кусту - и маусов не видно. Они спрятаны. Итого - в игре две механики, из них не работает нормально ни одна. Показатели брони у танков взяты от балды, им увеличивают ее и уменьшают типа ради баланса, но баланса в игре даже близко нет. Урон считается от калибра, но он не считается от калибра. Карты крошечные. Результаты твоего выстрела от тебя не зависят никак, можно без сведения в пиксель попасть, если тебе подкрутят и можно вплотную картон не пробить, если открутят. Мое мнение -а зачем вообще играть в игру, в которой от твоих действий ничего не зависит? Ну и само собой играть в игру без премиум аккаунта и без премиум танков не возможно, т.к. тебе денег ни на что не хватит. В общем, типичная фри-ту-плей помойка, обходите стороной.… Expand

Плюсы данного КАЛЛА в том что там графика хорошая, но всё же зачем эта графика если игра все равно останется высасывателем денег из алкашей 40-45 лет с 2 спиногрызами...… Expand

    Awful game, not worth playing!
    Minuses:
    -The game lacks balance at level X. -A artillery problem that focuses you from start to finish. -The problem of high-explosive shells that prevent heavy tanks with armor from tanking. -Problem of criticality of modules from high-explosive shells. -If Arta started shooting at you, then get ready to stand in the camp for a very long time. -Awful    Awful game, not worth playing!

    -Problem of criticality of modules from high-explosive shells.
    -If Arta started shooting at you, then get ready to stand in the camp for a very long time.
    -Awful physics of stones in this game.
    -Inability to turn the tank over onto the tracks, if suddenly you turned over.
    -The game lacks accuracy. If you think that the accuracy parameter in the description of the tank means something, then you are wrong. -The server will send your projectile to any location within your circle of information.
    - Terrible tanks of low levels. Normal tanks start from 7-8 levels, which repels beginners from this game.
    -A huge amount of terrible cards that you don't want to play.
    -If you do not invest in the game, then you will be pumping the tank for years.
    -Lack of skill balance.
    -You can get crazy.
    Pros:
    + Everything is calculated on the server so there are no cheaters in this game.

This type of player abuse builds up rage in me, and then i say ok, i'll just teamkill players since i'ma lose anyway, right? what does it matter if i try or not when i will lose forsure.

    The matchmaker decides who wins and who loses. And those who PAY MONEY will win, and those WHO DONT PAY MONEY will lose. 100% of matches there are bots, trolls, suiciders on both teams. 99% of players left are using cheats. The toxic wallet warriors actually believe they have good stats because of skill and not because they dumped a buttload of cash into this game.

    Basically the idea for the game is great, its just been butchered by MONEY-HUNGRY losers who designed this game to be more frustrating than fun, and if u want fun to give them money. You will regularly be placed bottom tier of your team 99% of the time. But when you play a lower tier tank you will see the same tank you have placed top tier and ask yourself, "How come when i play that tank its bottom tier, but when someone else plays the same tank they get top tier?" The answer is you need to pay them money to experience any joy whatsoever.

    Actually trolling your team by camping at spawn/teamkilling is more fun than putting in any effort to this totally rigged trash pile. Funny thing is the game is dying and if they had only made it fun for ppl they would be having many players and much more profits. When you look at it rationally its basically like they WANT their game to die. Very pathetic.

    I didnt even get into the terrible performance for not so amazing graphics. the water and trees are completely not optimized. And i could find a million more faults with the game that they ADDED onto it.

    Before their graphical update it was actually much better. But the matchmaker giving you only losses nonstop for hours, the cheaters, and the pay 2 win ammunition+tanks are the 3 biggest flaws that ruin any and all fun that could have been had.

    I played over 18k battles and since 2010. And it has only gotten worse over time. It appears as though they took all the money made from this game and used it in all types of other projects, such as warplanes, warships, etc. So if you pay here you're not paying to fix the game, you're paying for the devs to move onto new pastures as they let this game die.    … Expand

    Short Answer: Pay to win.
    Long answer:
    The game is actually good overall. Looks, game play, controls are east enough to master. Leveling up, or grinding for experience to buy skills and tanks AND equipment are a real drag. Tanks rated TIER 1-10. You start at 1 and work your way up. It has a historical progression from the early 1900's up to the Korean war era. So don't expect any M1A2    Short Answer: Pay to win.
    Long answer:

    Tanks rated TIER 1-10. You start at 1 and work your way up. It has a historical progression from the early 1900's up to the Korean war era. So don't expect any M1A2 to T-95's.
    Every tier requires exponentially experience (i.e. grinding) to get to the next tier. It will take 3 matches to go from Tier 1 to 2, but THOUSANDS of matches to go from Tier 8-9.

    If you want to be competitive above Tier 5 you have to pay REAL MONEY. Special equipment, faster XP accumulation, and better ammo comes with premium membership.

    Although no one will admit it, you also get better Match Making as a paying customer.
    This is even more obvious during the X3 and X5 weekends (where the your First Victory of the day gets x3 or x5 experience) where the free players get thrown in higher Tier games as cannon fodder. Skill no longer applies here, you are merely target practice since you will never cause damage to higher tier tanks. If you think Tier 5 is halfway to Tier 10, you're crazy. In reality, Tier 8 or 9 is really half way to Tier 10 in terms of matches played or time required.

    This would be an excellent game if the Pay to Win factor wasn't so ridiculous.

    So you want to have fun for free, play Tiers 1-4 and MAYBE 5. After that, it's nothing but a grind at a disadvantage.    … Expand

    Generally World of Tanks has a good concept. but the better is, that there are other companies who offer this game play. for example Armored Warfare.

    the problem with World of Tanks ist the total rigged Matchmaker und RandomNumberGenerator("in my opinion" -that's the opinion everyone will have after some thousand games). and yes this game is not about skill or talent, it's about tanks who have a reliability from -25% to +25% with every shot. would that be a problem? no - if it would be really randomized.
    and that's the point: sometimes the matchmaking wanted you to lose or to win and this will last the whole day/certain games. in these matches you can't "play" the game, you get screwed by a biased RNG. it's not fun.

    DON'T PLAY A GAME WHICH FRUSTRATES YOU THIS MUCH.

    you will spend money to get rid of the losses, on the other side you will think you are very skillful. but no - its corrupted. so think about how you waste your time.

    the second reason to avoid this game is the unfriendly staff and community-support. they build up a forum which has on of the most hateful atmosphere around (and yes internet is not a bunnyfarm). the moderation supports bullying by not observing their friends (the moderation team is recruited from the players)

    DON'T PLAY THIS GAME, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SUPPORT BULLYING

    the support even threatens you to delete your account, if you want to discuss the negative aspects of the game. another example is "automatic report system". if enough people report you, you will get a 24h ban. but there's a possibility to encroach the system, so you will get a ban for nothing. if you contact the support absolutely nothing will happened. and here's the aspect of corruption: a moderator (there was an example with "xOlsenx") can disban his own friends via minutes.

    in conclusion the concept has earned 5 points, but the fact this game produces so much (determined) frustration World of Tanks will get 3 points. the fact the Staff is ("in my opinion") corrupt, will leave it for 2 points. don't waste time on it - or a least try the alternatives like Armored Warfare or War Thunder    … Expand

    If you are a run and gun, or believe in strategy, I would look at other games.

    While this game is technically free to play, they sell "premium" tanks, as well as armor piercing rounds, repair packs, health kits, and the list goes on. So if you are not willing to shell out big dollars, you are at a disadvantage from the start. The "premium" tanks can only be bought with gold, which can only be purchased. The repair, and other kits, can be bought with silver won in battles, but often cause the "average" player to only break even in terms of silver once damage repairs, and ammunition costs are filled.

    This is yet another game plagued by user hacks.

    There are a great deal of children, 8-40 who will start calling names, throwing insults because they ran out and got killed, and want to blame it on the rest of the team.

    The game, in random battles, consists of 15 team members, but make no mistake, the word "team" is COMPLETELY misleading. Over the last 6 months, younger people have taken over the game, and 98% of them, will hide way back at the base in an attempt to collect the most damage, without ever getting shot at. OR, they will ALL go to one side of the map, in most cases leaving the middle and other side wide open.

    Clans:
    Most clans in this game, at least any that do battles, will require you to have a minimum 50% win rate, which with the way random battles are played, or you are willing to spend big dollars, is not easy to achieve as that statistic relies on the capabilities of the rest of your team.

    There are two types of gamers, those who play for the W, and those who play for the statistical bragging right. This game, is dominated by the latter.

    I cannot count the number of times I have;
    *Been the only tank to cover and entire side.
    *Set up behind a rock, pulled out to take a shot, and had another tank park right behind me so I could not back up to cover.
    *Had another tank pull in front of me to block my shots and "steal" damage ( you will get in trouble for causing team damage.
    *Had up to 4 tanks not even play the round, leaving the team very short handed. You can get in trouble for causing team damage, even if another tank pulls in front of you, but nothing happens to those who load into the round and do not even play.

    As with many "free or pay" games, if you are not willing to shell out big dollars (30 bucks for some tanks) you may find yourself completely frustrated. The first few tiers, there are ten, are not so bad to get through, but then you will find yourself bogged down. Example, a tier 2 tank, may cost you around 1,500 exp and 3,000 silver, but a tier 7 tank will cost around 150,000 exp and 225,000 to 275,000 silver. Not to mention, when you first acquire a tank, you will need ADDITIONAL silver and exp to outfit it with a better gun, engine, radio, etc. You can see how things start to really add up, forcing you to pay to be competitive.

    All one has to do, is look at the "user review" score, 5.0 out of 10    … Expand
