    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

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.    … Expand

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

    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.

    Many issues that have made World of Tanks a failure currently is the stunted development of new tank trees, but the emergence of a lot of premium tanks. Nothing wrong with premium tanks but in 2015 and 2016 currently they have added more premium tanks than researchable tanks and will continue to do so and no one tells them this is a bad idea. The sudden nerfs to all premium tanks after they are bought from players and lose their unique qualities. No new maps but promised new maps. Terrible map rotation, that annoys everyone. Campers are rewarded through the bad map design and the camo rating which is still insanely broken and rewards people who have higher lvl crews than lower lvlcrews, basically rewarding people who play more have premium instead of rewarding people who have skill. Paying for extra barracks is a scam and is muddled with the free premium tanks given out to try where those avatars now sit in the barracks without even given the option. I have 0 out of 32 barracks but their are 135 crew but I can't do anything as I need to spend all this gold on getting a bigger barracks for high level crews but feel scammed as I have to spend money on both garage space and barracks which is not right.

    The communities stand on criticism. Their stand on criticism is to censor anything against the pro quota and mods do this daily. The community is making things worst as they allow for WoT to follow this shaky path and give them their blessings. The Youtuber's who play WoT who don't call out wargamming for shady and unethical business decisions while still saying to their viewers their on your side when it doesn't feel like that at all.

    Last the patches are lazy and wargamming have been saying for two years now they are too busy making hd models of tanks than implementing new content for people to play in the game and have this as a higher priority than new content. Content is no where to be seen and is not thoroughly reviewed or given good feedback this is due to the main WoT Youtuber's agree every single time. 2016 WoT can be summed up with Wargamming adding new sounds to the game and this is something the community should look forward to get when other developers wouldn't blink twice about something that seems common sense but here it's a big deal.

Unless you have the best tanks you're simply a target for those who have paid the money and own them already. The game ensures this is true by manipulating the matchups, which affects your personal "statistics"; a fact admitted by Wargaming and their lawyers. The claim is they manipulate the win rate to "encourage" players; but the reality does not support the claim. If you have bad personal statistics, then the worst thing about this game reveals itself, the absolutely hateful community assaults you during every game because you have "bad statistics" and you're the reason they lost, making the game a horrible experience. Every match consists of 15 players on a side, so you're actual contribution to every possible win is 1/30th statistically; and skill can not make up the other 29/30ths. Thus all new players learning the game without an experienced "guide" is assured to have "bad statistics" for months, years or possibly forever.
    The only way to avoid this scenario is IF you have, make or find a friend that belongs to a clan (a large group) of players who have already paid the price to be "top tier"; then you can improve your statistics by battling with a known group who won't criticize as much and already own the best tanks by spending alot of money and time.
    If you can't play this game as a member of a large successful clan from the start, then my heartfelt advice is to avoid this particular game and Wargaming.net in general.    … Expand

    The game itself is good, does require some real money purchases if you don't want to be stuck grinding for ever. Or if you intend to play competitively.

    but DO NOT spend money on this game! Customer service is beyond terrible!
    Instead of reimbursing you with items/refunding your money when they have game issues, customer service tells you to go f*ck yourself.

I won't talk about game mechanics which are broken, tons of bugs, invisible textures and balance issues, which can be found in almost any game. I will talk about people who stand behind the game. Also please take into account I am a paying use. Spend alot of money on premium tanks, premium time and other things. You as a player are thrown in the game with 29 other people while playing random battles. 29 potentially dangerous people trying to kill you even tho it's 15v15 team based game. What do I mean you ask? Well... Imagine 2 people playing in single platoon (up to 3 people can be matchmaked together). One is there to bump into you, ram you and make it impossible for you to play the game so you ram him once to let him know that it's annoying and that he should stop. His friend comes and shoots you into tracks, makes you unable to move. You defend yourself and shoot back BUT if you do that the game will make your nickname blue after few shots so others can shoot you without penalty. What is not clear is how the automated system calculates how many shots can you shoot and when a and when not it will count them. I got shot 2 times by one ally and he didnt become blue, I shot him 2 times and bacema blue so his friend came and killed me completly with 3 shots also without becoming blue. When you contact game support they tell you it's automated system and they can't do anything for you. How is that noone can do anything for me when I pay them to make my game be better? Not fair for anyone. Also your blue nicname lasts for few battles so you are like ok, let's forget this and let's play. You load into new game and boom, your ally shoots you with no reason whatsoever, just because you are blue. Again, noone from Wargaming will ever help you with anything. So if you want to play this game, don't play it competitively, just try to don't take it too seriously and for the love of god, never spend money on it, EVER. It won't do you any good and you will be able to leave the game unlike me. I spent alot so I can't leave it. It's horrible addiction that should be regulated by law.… Expand

    This game is fun only if you are a clueless noob.
    Game is p2w, increasingly so. Tanks are not balanced, some suspect it's on purpose for monetary reasons. Maps are tiny and buggy.
    Game is based on LOS combat, but there is a class that can fire indirectly with no way to avoid it or retaliate. Most of players are bad or resigned or both, community is very toxic, starting with the devs.    This game is fun only if you are a clueless noob.

    Low tiers have unbalanced garbage gameplay with many seal-clubbers preying on inexperienced players.
    Game has 10 tiers of tanks with ever increasing capabilities. Matchmaker will try to make a 3 tier spread battles in 3/5/7 template, which means players spend 85% of the time as bottom tier, unless they are playing tier 9 or 10, where game stops being free because of the ammo/repair costs.
    Grinds are terrible and long, stock tanks are very inferior to their fully researched counterparts.
    Heavy tanks are pointless, since the only strength they have, armour, get easily defeated by more expensive premium ammo even by tanks 2 tiers lower. When bottom tier, HTs are just slow pinatas, since +1/+2 tier tanks have no problems damaging them.
    The game has been losing players fast, prime time population on EU server cluster has dropped from 150k at the release of 1.0 to 100k in just 3 months.
    I think the publishers know the game is dying so they are just milking it till it does.    … Expand

    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

    NOT WORTH PLAYING !

    This game really had me for about 2-3 years but then It changed to a piece of frustration and hate, not a game I enjoy. So what makes this game bad ? There little to no real balancing, that mean that tanks who are tier 8 can't stand up to the very good tier 9 and 10 tanks. Now because the matchmaker does not match teams on skill, games are often uneven, games    NOT WORTH PLAYING !

    This game really had me for about 2-3 years but then It changed to a piece of frustration and hate, not a game I enjoy.
    So what makes this game bad ?
    There little to no real balancing, that mean that tanks who are tier 8 can't stand up to the very good tier 9 and 10 tanks.
    Now because the matchmaker does not match teams on skill, games are often uneven, games don't feel balanced because some tanks who might be Tier 10 but don't have much armor face off against tanks of the same class and tier who are just straight out better.
    You tend to face enemy tanks which are 1-2 tiers higher than you most of the time, tanks which you have almost no chance of beating. Well why don't you only play tier 10 then, huh ?
    There are tanks in Tier 10 which are so much better than some of the others, as a game developer you cannot balance everything right, but you can listen to the feedback of the players that play the game. Wargaming simply does not care about the community feedback.
    The next thing is that some premium tanks, you can buy for real world money are flat out better than their normal counterpart, so here is a Pay-to-win aspect. Note that anyone can get Premium tanks.
    The penalty system is also very bad, people can get away with shooting / pushing you all game without them getting banned while you have no way of defending against griefers like that and if you shoot back and turn blue which means they can now shoot you without getting any punishment.
    There are many more things but I want to keep this short and only list the things that bother me the most.
    The negative aspects of the game out-way the positive with a ratio of 100 to 1.

    I have about 5000 hours in this game and I play since 2012, and I have no reason to really give a positive opinion.    … Expand

It becomes a play to win one where it's throwing you in a an absolut **** MM (MatchMaking) where the weaker players (no ofense) are given better RNG (RandomNumberGenerator) so they have bigger chance against you (if you are skilled one). Here is the time to mention the onse (old unicum players) who are using illegal modes because they just can't give up. There are too many issues which are been pointed by previous guys here so no need to share them again.
    If you are new player - do NOT, I repeat, do NOT waste time and money to invest in this game if you respect yourself and don't want to be made fool by the arrogant and ignorant WG staff! The grinding to get to the top tier is a HELL now. Most new players are just giving up. By the time they've reached tier 8 they've already spent too much cash for it and it's becoming harder to give up. It's a magic circle where a lot of people are trapped.
    The game is advertised that there are over 100 milion players which is so hilarious. In the EU server there are no more than 70k per day online and this is at the peak time not to mention that there are people using 2-3 accounts (yes, they are for real). In the US server the players sometimes wait more than 8 minutes to get into a battle because of lack of people ( I have friends in the game who switched from US server to the EU because of this).
    There is of course good thing but it's mostly for old school players like me who have more than 30 tier X tanks in the garage and this is the Strongholds, Team battles and Clan Wars where you play with your Clan members against another Clan. This is the only fun which have left here.
    Everything else is a lost cause.

    1. Arteleria or art.
    Arteleria was conceived as a class of support, but in the end everything did not go according to plan and now Arta can pull out the lost game, especially at low levels (2-5).
    I propose to do the following, namely to reduce the damage and stun time, but to compensate for a better disguise.
    2. Pumping crew.
    A rather contradictory minus of the game is also why
    You will not have a light bulb then you lit up or not. In other games it is already from the beginning of the game, and in the same WoT Blitz there is a light bulb and you will not need to pump over the crew again or replant it. Also about the transfer of the crew, so that you do not swing the crew on the new tank again, then you have to transplant it, but in order to transplant it without loss you have to put a small amount of gold or put real money. I also forgot to say about the barracks, it’s still an extra charge for places so that your crew is somewhere.
    What I propose to do.
    I suggest that the developers make the crew system like in WoT Blitz it turned out to be more successful.    … Expand

    World of Tanks, SAYS “WE do not control battle outcomes”....but it is not possible to believe that. in their chat room. players continuously complain about complete lopsided battles where the opposing team will kill every one of your team’s tanks... and youir team might not even get one kill. Many battles your team will get 0-5 kills. this type of game play happens all the time.

    What ever tank you choose, you will probably not even have your tank shells penetrate opposing tanks. In many battles opposing tanks will all be moving together? why does that not happen with your team of tanks?

    How do shells that have a greater penetration rate then the armor they hit never penetrate of do any damage? why do shells with 100penetrate not penetrate 50 armor, continuously. But the opposite is true too, you have 100 armor and a tank with a 50 pen shell destroys you?

    Lag Control of battles by World of Tanks. Many games seem to be Lag controlled lopsided games. If you have hardwired Ethernet, quality PC with top DSL speeds, you can see shells going right to target but they miss. At last split second a sitting tank has moved an entire tank length or more. How do these things happen. Also, just watch how the game goes...how does opposing team get half way across map and you don’t see them in first minute of game? And your team has barely moved? And then you find them sitting and shooting at you.

    In World of tanks most battles will be 3 tier battles. All Tanks are rated by tiers, so that tier 1 tanks are not so good, tier 2 a little better, tier 3 -9 get better and better. So in most battles i.e. if you have a tier 4 tank you will fight tiers 5 and 6 in same battle. Your tier 4 tank can only hope to be on winning team. Otherwise your tier 4 tank in head to head battle with a tier 6 is a hopeless losing battle. In World of tanks most battles will be 3 tier battles. Good luck with that for you. So earning credits and improving crew rankings is and endless pursuit.

    World of tanks will gladly sell you superior tanks. However, there is a Gotcha catch. World tanks can change tank performances so a tank that has certain strengths will be nerfed (those strengths will be weakened …World of tanks does what they want when they want).

    So you are not playing against other players so much as you are playing against World of Tanks. They just want your money. No fair game play provided.

Depositing real money into the game is not a prerequisite and is carried out by the player independently, at his own decision, and all the basic functions of the game - are free.

    Played this game since launch on and off, around 15 000 battles. This game is highly pay to win. They dont force u to buy anything but the game is unplayable at high tiers without premium account as u make less money than your tanks repairs cost you.

    Played this game since launch on and off, around 15 000 battles. This game is highly pay to win. They dont force u to buy anything but the game is unplayable at high tiers without premium account as u make less money than your tanks repairs cost you. I wouldnt even post this review but the game is going last 2 years pretty downhill in terms of enjoyment. Last addition was EBR tanks that are very fast, probably the best spotters that are very hard to hit while they auto aim hit u from 400 meters while doing backflip. Pretty unbalanced for other players that dont own those tanks and on top of that we have 3 artilleries every game that was introduced ,,to prevent camping´´ while they do the oposite´´ because whenever u push to some position to outsmart enemies there are 3 ,,players´´ that just look on the map and click once per 30 seconds to send a gift from above to deny any possible action. Im average player with around 51% total winrate and some tanks with 2 marks but the longer i play the more i lose to players that arent even using WSAD to move their vechile.

    Wargaming are greedy **** that do everything possible for money but i was able to let it sink in somehow over the years but the **** storm that is happening right now is simply too much to handle.

    I wouldnt recommend this game to a new players unless they plan to spend a fortune in this game.

    EDIT: Friends brought me to start playing again after some time (we tend to go back to old games) it took me 2 hours to understand why i left it before, except now it were new things. I jumped into the game and did nice 5K dmg first game, i can say that i was a bit hyped after that. Jumped into next game with my beloved KV-2 that shoots HE caliber 150. I aimed on medium tank´s tier 7 turret which has around 60-100 mm armor (should be like 30% chance to even penetrate. So i shot and did 0 dmg 0 critical hit, im like okay thats weird, I shoot again and the same thing and another 2 shots again 0 damage. After all of that what just happened and was basically impossible to happen as the shell i shot at the opponents turret is 2x thicker than his armor i got hit by arta satelite guided laser from above for 800 and died. I took a little breather and jumped into the next game. Took my T110E4 american TD loaded HE to shot down the first scout i see, EBR showed up and i predicted nicely where he will go and shot him to his side (i even rewatched it and it was direct hit). Ladies and gentlemen 90mm penetration 150 caliber shell with alfa damage around 1200 did exactly 0 damage 1x critical (he kept moving like nothing had happened) and even in the middle of ride shot at me and damaged me. I just dont get it, stationary big lethal gun shots at your tiny fiat multipla a shell from hell and it doesnt even scratch u and you with your racecar instead of tank just flick shot autoaim in the middle of drift and damage tank that should be very hard to penetrate even with premium ammo aiming at weak spots.

    Okay now do i recommend the game ? Absolutly yes if u are masochist and wanna play something that u will in no time hate more than pineapple on pizza.    … Expand

    Although conceptually and graphics-wise good, this game has some large flaws that make it unacceptable for modern standards of gaming. Personally I have over 1000 hours in this game, and still i cannot get myself to like it one bit.

Personally I have over 1000 hours in this game, and still i cannot get myself to like it one bit.

    This is because of one thing only: the unacceptable fact that this game is PAY TO WIN. Although advertised as free to play, you will have a major disadvantage in every singe match unless you pay hundres upon hundres of dollars for premium items which are advertised everywhere. Things like premium ammunition, premium consumables, premium xp gains and premium currency gains are all absolutely neccesary to compete with other players.
    This phenomenon revolves completely around the premium currency: gold. This currency can only be earned through exchanging it for real money, and funds everything that makes this game even remotely playable. Gold can be used to buy anything from tank modifications, better crew members, better ammunition, premium account time, better resource gains, and it overall acts as a key to a number of blatant paywalls in this game. Lets go over all the things that gold is used for and why you need these things to have fun:

    --Premium ammunition--
    Premium ammo improves your overall damage and penetration, making it significantly easier to damage armored vehicles and killing them quicker than you would with regular ammo. Loading up your tank without any premium rounds above tier 9 is basically shooting yourself in the foot. Premium rounds cost 300+ gold, however they are also purchasable with regular credits, which costs about 10 to 20 times as much as a standard round. Keep in mind that all the ammo you fire in a match has to be restocked afterwards. After every match you play, you recieve a financial report, which will be in the negatives if you're firing premium ammo. More on this later.

    --Premium consumables and modifications--
    Consumables and modifications are items that you can fit your tank with besides ammunition. Consumables are medkits, fire extinguishers, repair kits and other optional items that can boost modules or crew members. Modifications are modules that can be fitter to certain tanks, improving its overall performance in battle, like reducing reload times, improving camouflage and spotting distance, improving armor and mechanical integrity, etc. All of these consumables and modifications come in two different variants, the cheap versions and the premium versions. You guessed it, the premium versions cost much, much more than their regular counterparts and are just that much more useful. Playing with cheap consumables against someone with premium consumables is a guaranteed loss.

    -- Premium XP and currency gains--
    One of the most blatant types of extortion in this game is the fact that it's hard to make any progress without buying a premium account. Making your account premium is like a battle pass in other games, but much worse. It only provides you with more XP and credits after each match. XP Is used to research new tanks and modules, allowing you to climb your way up the research trees to unlock new and higher tier tanks. Credits are used to actually buy the tanks and modules themselves. Without having premium income on these two resources you will quickly find yourself progressing way slower than other players in the game. As a matter of fact, without premium income you will often lose money while playing because repairing and restocking your tanks costs more than what you get from playing a match. This happens both when winning and losing. Unless you're in the top 5 of your team you will lose money without a premium account.

    -- Other uses for gold --
    Gold can also be used for some other things. First of all it can be used to purchase premium tanks, a type of tank which is generally stronger and more useful in its class than regular researched tanks. Additionally, gold can let you convert vehicle XP to free XP. To clarify: in every match you earn a certain amount of vehicle bound XP, along with a way smaller (about 10 to 20 times) amount of free XP. Unlike free XP, vehicle XP can only be spent on researching modules or follow up tanks on that specific vehicle. Free XP however, can be used to reseach anything you desire. If you want to convert vehicle XP from premium tanks (which earn gold and vehicle XP at double the rate of normal tanks) to free XP, you need to pay 1 gold per 25 XP. Last but not least gold is used for its only proper non-pay2win feature, cosmetics, i.e. emblems and camouflage on your tanks.

    Conclusion:
    There really is no reason to play this game and suffer without buying yourself over the many paywalls. Unless you want to spend thousands of hours grinding and losing to unbeatable tanks that are statistically better than yours because your opponent has money to spend, do not play this game. You will not enjoy it in the slightest, and I havent even mentioned the balancing issues and toxicity.

    The game is enjoyable for exactly 1-3 games a day. after that you get into games that are absolutely impossible to win. You aim at the enemy weak points, and the shots either bounce, don't hit at all or straight up disappear. Seriously, they disappear.

    You gain skill and knowledge that you put in use. After you win using those skills- the game puts you in a team that simply has no clue.

    Just in general - you are stuck chasing the proverbial carrot on a stick, as WG wiggle it in front of you while riding on your back. It's simply disgusting what you have to endure to get to the tier 10 vehicles, and after you get to them- you get put in a match with enemies who have 9 years invested in the game so they have obvious advantages like : better crews, more knowledge, and straight up better equipment and tanks.

    It is impossible to overlook the obvious "randomization" of your shots. Not gonna get into it but my take on it is- it ain't random.

    Now, ofc ppl who pay for the game have to receive something in return. So what do you reckon they recieve... It's you. You are the muppet they get to kill and have fun doing so. They don't even need to be more skilled most of the time.
    IF SOMETHING IS FREE - YOU ARE THE PRODUCT.

    Of course those same players, or some who are actually probably not getting this "randomization" for whatever reason, will keep writing stuff like- you are just bad; cry some more; lol noob; etc...
    I by no means am a great player, but when every game I have is 1500dmg, and immediately after - I get killed or start missing all my shots... Come on...
    And I by no means am the only one to say these things.

    In conclusion: This is a terrible game for most. WG is a business and if you are looking to play for free - expect to have 90% bad experiences while in game.
    If I hadn't put in 3-4 years in to it, I would have gladly dropped it. And even now - it's very tempting to just rage quit almost every day.    … Expand

    It is a free to play game, but probably one of the most expensive games to play if you want to have a least a bit of a fair change against others.

    The developers only care about making money from the players and ignore the community completely (they say they listen). Match making is degrading more and more, in a typical game one team runs over the other team in a few minutes ending in 15-5 outcomes which are not fun for the winning team and for the losing team.

    The game pretends to be fair, since F2P players can e.g. also fire premium ammunition, use premium consumables and directives. In reality they dont have the credits to do so. The results are very unfair games.

    During a game everybody plays for themselves rather then having some team play. Once you do something that your "team mates" dont like you will see how toxic the community is.

    If you invest money in the game and got yourself a lot of good crew you will see that 2/3 of them will become useless (without compensation) when the crew systems gets updated. Investing in the game is thereby a very bad investment.    … Expand

This game DOES NOT REWARD MOVING, because if you move you have less camo. So campers are a plague. Also,    I have been playing this game for a long time, it has been 8 years.

    Also, gold ammo: everyone has to shoot that, otherwise you won't be penetrating anything considering how many op tanks are out there.
    Premium tanks: they are ok, problem is even the newest player can purchase them, jump to tier 8 and make your match a clown fiesta 15-0 (which is how most games end: 15-3, 15-5, in less than 3 minutes.)

    Grind is okay, they've addressed that and it's not hard nor long.

    CW reward tanks are incredibly op and shouldn't be allowed in random matches.

    They should also revamp the experience system, is not possible that teamplay actions are not rewarded, instead camping on the redline waiting for everyone to die and then hitting 2-3 times gives you more experience than others.

    Last but not least, remember that this game is BASED on frustration: they keep the +2-2 matchmaker just to FORCE you to get the next tank, rushing to tier X or loading gold only.

    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.

    Worse that that (at least for me) is the active policy of the game makers (Wargaming) to promote the worst of the communist Russia, and in particular, to promote the criminal figure of Stalin. They are very aggressive on that (inclusively in terms of game content, and in terms of tank balance, etc.) and at the moment that is transforming this game in a political propaganda machine, more than an honest, fun, tank-based wargame.    … Expand

    - they are "balancing" tanks all the time, its good but most of balancing is made in silence its called "ninja nerf" wargaming dont tell us what was nerfed just to stop the flame on community forum
    - on the official forum topics and posts are getting removed especially those that criticize wargaming as a company and devs, admins... wargaming staff
    - they don't really care, all they want is money

    They are doing ninja nerf to tanks that are available for real money or can be won in a competition.

    EU players treated as second category. Glorification of stalinizm. Tons of bugs which are known for months and nothing is done about them. The game is a constant beta-test, which doesnt stop WG from finding all new ways of dragging money from customers.

    Game itself is playable but developers are ignoring players. Game is free to play but pay to win (example premium ammo that deals more dmg, premium tanks that are often better than normal tanks not for real money). But even those premium tanks that you can buy are nerfed after time (developers lower tank statistics). As a result you pay real cash for tank with specific stats but after someGame itself is playable but developers are ignoring players.

    Zero cooperation with the players their opinions and complaints (the broken balance of vehicles, limping mechanism that losujący etc. are totally ignored Ideas players ignored as hmmm idiotic (said SerB main publisher) players have to pay and not complain ....

    Game is Pay to Win- you have premium ammo better than normal one, you have premium tanks better than normal.

    You have to compete with Russian players on every non Russian server because they can play on every server and you don't.

    Wargaming (creator of this game) don't care what is your opinion no matter where are you from- European, American or others, they care only for Russians.
    GrindFest for the win, new players have really hard beginnings and have to play against good ones because there's no system created to match new players to play with new players and better players with better ones.

    So in my opinion game is not worth your time and money (especially money), my advice- stay away of this crap game, maybe there will be in future better one, better competition- time will show, for now leave this one to die (which will happen sooner than later).    … Expand

    Более 2 лет игра стоит на месте и никакого прогресса, практически во всех направлениях застой. Разработчики никак не хотят наладить геймплей. Просто ужасно видеть такой потенциал в игре и понимать что он не будет никогда реализован, а если и будет то будет уже поздно.Более 2 лет игра стоит на месте и никакого прогресса, практически во всех направлениях застой.

    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.
