I would give the game 5 stars but I just dont think the game is quiet there yet. I read some of the other reviews of the game and a lot of the points are making are extremely valid. I personally play mostly the british, which I would have to say can be the most anoying to play, because unless you like constantly encountering tanks you cant even penetrate until a whole Battle Rating later, this game can be extremely hair rippingly painful. Which bring some to my first point. Like most other people have said, that match making is very broken. I'll be in my 4.7s and all of a sudden start seeing 5.7s, which is a problem that is so easily fixable. The problem is that gaijin keeps adding new vehicles and stuff, which by the way isn't a bad thing, it's just that they focus on it too much. If they really want my 5 stars, just space out the Battle ratings. For example, take the churchill mk7, one of the most protected tanks of the 2nd world war. Now firstly, at 4.7 you struggle to penetrate things, on top of that, at 5.7, the Battle Rating you magically find yourself at all the time, is the panther, the tiger, the jadpanzer, the is1, t34-85s, the list goes on, and yet even at you own Battle rating things penetrate you all over. My point is, it's really hard to find to actually get a good battle rating in match. My second point is the fact that even though they SAY they'll fix things, or add something, or work in something, they take an eternity to fix the problem. Not to mention the eternal grind it takes to get to a vehicle you really want, then only to find out you actually liked the game when you were in the low teirs.
But to be positive for a second, yeah it is a great game. There are tons of vehicles. All of them amazingly modeled, except for the lack of the tea kettles in any british vehicle. At your actual Battle Rating, the game can be very fun. The majority of the game is literally just map knowledge, and waiting. And if you want to do really well, dont be like me and choose britian for your first faction, just go for Germany or Russia.
Also gaijin, of you actually pay attention to the community and read this, then on behalf of the community, please add the semple tank.
