    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Как игрок в этой помойке, категорический не рекомендую так как баланса нет, турбо сливы(бой идёт 5-3 мин.) и таких боёв будет 75%!!! потому что новый балансировшик из-за которого из игры уходят ветераны. Кроме стандартного боя больше ничего нету играбельного и однообразные карты, в рандоме для вас будет пять карт!!! да пять карт, а другие карты только не для ru, например: Китай помойка выпускает уникальные танки и карты так же и в Америке. Если сравнить 2013 год и в 2017 год разницы не было и не будет кроме графы и парашных танков.… Expand

    This game is free to play initially until you get to around tier 5 where the game becomes an intolerable grind to upgrade or by new tanks. At tier 5, you realise that 50% of this game is "locked" because you need to either spend THOUSANDS of hours grinding for a single tank or spend HUNDREDS of pounds to make the grind slightly easier (although it would still take ages even after paying).This game is free to play initially until you get to around tier 5 where the game becomes an intolerable grind to upgrade or by new tanks. At tier 5, you realise that 50% of this game is "locked" because you need to either spend THOUSANDS of hours grinding for a single tank or spend HUNDREDS of pounds to make the grind slightly easier (although it would still take ages even after paying). So for most ordinary gamers, you will NEVER reach the higher tier tanks unless you play 24/7 or pay up. The business model for this game is disgraceful and is like dangling a carrot infront of gamers to get them to pay.

    I haven't even got round to the unbalanced games which include horrendously mismatched tank tiers, ridiculous hit registration and what feels like match fixing (all exist to get you to pay no doubt). The game is also boring and repetitive, with only one multiplayer gamemode.

    Oh and it should be called "world of campers" because most players camp because they are scared of being two shot killed by someone with "premium" ammo or a superior tank. Because if they die theres no respawn. Just waiting until the next game. How lame is that?

    Its such a shame because the game COULD have been a great "tank call of duty" if it was a normal, £40 multiplayer game in the shops. But the shady business model of this "free to play" game ruins it.

    Avoid this game. It will only frustrate you.    … Expand

    you are going to regret big time. i've never seen a worse in game balance in any other game. everything, just everything built upon the idea to frustrate the gamer more. if anything goes well, it will be screwed in next update, i guarantee it.

    Wargaming.net has nurfed the game with the latest update so bad that it is no longer enjoyable! I have the Deathstar TD which was once feared by all tanks, now you can hit the broad side of a tier 9 batchhat and only track him or better yet hit the front of a IS-3 (tier 8) and only do 200 damage....pathetic! The arties have been nurfed bad also. I was using the T-92 american artilleryWargaming.net has nurfed the game with the latest update so bad that it is no longer enjoyable!

The arties have been nurfed bad also. I was using the T-92 american artillery and had one track damage shot out of 9 shots! Every circle was completely around the target and they were not moving, but every shot would either go over or fall short. I am ready to uninstall the game if things are not fixed! I don't expect to hit a tank every time, but the T-92 has the largest splash damage and if you miss a tank with the smallest aiming que, then why even have one! You have destroyed a once decent game!!… Expand

That is what makes it one of the worst games. It has solid mechanics but unfortunately no competition and, thus, doesn't improve but gets tedious and non-enjoyable and makes you regret. If you really want that shiny "good" tank you better pay or enjoy the horrendous grind of terrible balance, matchmaking and mechanics (in short, even though you aim at something doesn't mean you hit something). Everything else is better.

    DO NOT SPEND TIME ON THIS. This is an abomination. I switched to PC and never looked back, although I had many tier X and premium tanks on console (many thousand games).

    It's inferior in every way, e.g., the UI is horrible - like a child has done it - the game feedback is outraciously bad (no damage numbers, no indication what ammo damaged you), the aiming is laughable, the spotting is unprecise, the crew is non-relevant, the maps are unintelligent (they changed some PC maps and also added console exclusives, without any thought process it seems), the economy is there to screw you over etc.

    This isn't just a simpler version, it's a different game altogether and a bad one at that. Why play COD on mobile when you can play the real game; why waste time on this game. No reason except you don't have a PC.    … Expand

    So we hide the metacritic reviews by just rebooting the game a few times so the new iterations show up as TBD? That is pretty smart Wargaming. WOT is rigged and grindy with a toxic playerbase. You will be either "paper bagged" (You/your squad are the only good players on your team), or "up tiered", meaning you will be in a tank that cannot do damage or take a hit, so you explode into candySo we hide the metacritic reviews by just rebooting the game a few times so the new iterations show up as TBD? That is pretty smart Wargaming. WOT is rigged and grindy with a toxic playerbase. You will be either "paper bagged" (You/your squad are the only good players on your team), or "up tiered", meaning you will be in a tank that cannot do damage or take a hit, so you explode into candy goodness. When your Win/Loss ratio goes above 49.9%, the above will happen more frequently, but this time the RNG of the rounds will be worse. That means that where your shot should go, it will go in a different direction. Where your shot should have penetrated armor, it will not.

    All that being said, good marketing move by rebooting over and over again so the reviews don't follow you. Stay golden Wargaming ponyboyz.    … Expand

    Yes, this game is addictive, but you will regret it more than once. "extra-super-mega-patented randomness" that will make your **** burn when you try to play
    this thing. To achieve something you'll need to sit and suffer in this project, wasting your own nerves or donate on a regular basis in order to preserve your mental health.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No one likes being ripped off! This game does it in style. All you need to do is not play it for a while then when you go back on you can easily notice how your tanks rounds (including the premium one) start bouncing off more and more often. NO AMOUNT OF SPENDING MAKES THE SLIGHTEST DIFFERENCE TO THE RESULT OF THE MATCH. The outcome of the MATCH is pre determined when you start it. NO SKILL REQUIRED!!! Don't take my word for it play it and see for yourself.… Expand

    The game has multiple types of tanks, but everyone just do the same thing whenever it is light or medium or heavy or tank destroyer.
    Players don't read map. Players don't use map to help a team.
    Players don't need different maps, they need a simple tonel, everything else is too hard.
    Players can do nothing and still progress.

    Please ignore all reviews prior to 2021, it is NOT the same game.
    This was a good little game that required skill and dedication to master, the rewards were a slow and steady progression though any number of historically based tanks with ever more powerful weapons and tougher opponents. Premium tanks were purchased only and limited in numbers.

    This was a good little game that required skill and dedication to master, the rewards were a slow and steady progression though any number of historically based tanks with ever more powerful weapons and tougher opponents. Premium tanks were purchased only and limited in numbers.
    A series of baffling 'updates' that no one asked for have followed, Cartoon Mode, Mercenaries brought garish,ugly, concocted vehicles that ruined the fine balance of the game, and were in some cases over powered. The player base dropped dramatically after these two updates alone. The dwindling player numbers forced the cross-console aspect to be introduced. Having learnt little from their prescriptive way of simply adding content that nobody wanted, the sponsored seasons with the likes of WWE and Hasbro brought little help in arresting the decline.
    Then update 6.0 came along with all the competence and style of a train wreck. Content was removed, it had more bugs than a roadside mattress and the game was ruined.
    The tiny number of devoted players left voiced concern and most quit the game in 2021.
    Notwithstanding WGC's success in destroying the game, and desperate to attract new players, they adopted a system where, basically they are paying the players to play the game with ridiculously easy 'earn ops' or seasons that see WGC giving away tanks for free, that you might once have paid real $ for.
    Get the irony; This was once a free to play game - now they have to bribe people to play.
    Okay, history lesson over. What's the game like in 2022?
    Well you'll be happy to know that despite taking up 80gb of your hard drive, you will be playing 15 v 15 on postage stamp size maps that are nearly ancient enough to qualify for UNESCO heritage status in one battle dimension, for maybe 3 minutes, with a maximum of 3 friends.
    After ruining the original WWII game and player numbers at an all time record low, they released the 'Modern Warfare' update before fixing the OG thereby splitting an already small number of players even further so that Bots often make up half of the teams.
    Despite 8 years of practice the highly publicised new tank lines are worthless.
    So, they gave away high tier premium tanks with such reckless abandon that the player skill, in what is a tricky game, just didn't match and matches are now a series of complete rollovers and completely unlike what it was like when most of the reviews were written.
    So rather than address the skill imbalance, WGC started to rig games in favour of new players and didn't admit to it until the community called them out.
    So as a new player all you can really expect now is seal clubbing veterans doing you over so they can brag about their stats.
    The final chapter was another thing that the players didn't want, Wheeled vehicles which have transformed the game into a Mario Kart shooter.
    What a change..
    But for anyone curious about on how to ruin a game, you'll find no better case study.

    Very regular game, 0 realism, too casual and 0 simulation. The best thing is the number of tank licenses that the game has.

    This is the most advanced and maybe even the best edition of World of Tanks. This is how the PC version should look. [10/2015, p.52]

    World of Tanks on Xbox One is simply a technical upgrade of the 360 version and retains its strengths and weaknesses, but in a nicer way. It's still free, and can be played in multiplayer cross-platform.
