Game concept is great: Graphics, driving a tank, shooting a tank, hitting another tank, destroying the tank, even when you lose you still get some silver/xp, can pick another tank as soon as you die (no waiting till it is over), new maps keeping it fun,new cold war option is cool. No one should argue this. Game play is adequate: Some tanks are soooo slow what's the point just stay where you are and wait for them to come to you. Oh and if they do come, and they will, you will be alone or with an Arty which basically means you are alone. So just try to shoot one of the tanks and at least not end up in last place... lol. Some tanks are really fast and it is hard to kill them up close or far away. Have to look ahead and guess where they are going. And when I try to use my T92 and do what they do it seems like I have a huge magnet on my tank which collects all the ammo being shot at me ... lol When I shoot at tanks I can sometimes do damage but other times I do no damage(no bounce).... ??? Does not matter what ammo used AP, APCR, HEAT,HE etc. they all have done this. Even against same tank. Oh and if I attempt to circle around the tank and do one on ones either they win, even if I had the upper hand and more shots into them, or their teamates are smart and help. My teamates.... god knows what they are doing. The help! must not work on my PS4 ... lol. You review some of the really old videos and think yeah that tank is a good one... let me get that... Not the case in all cases. They might have been nerfed or newer tanks just can now take you out. Of course the elite tank you pay for with gold because WOT pops up saying save 50% if you get this tanks now you would think means it must be a good offer because I as they say have been doing so well on the battlefield... lol don't buy into it. The tank unless you see it constantly being used or finishing top 5 wont be worth it. Takes like forever to move up the ranks from tier 6 or 7 onward. Free XP and silver gets expensive. So many other points could be mentioned but would be way too long... In conclusion: Play for fun, accept you will be killed and lose games(probably a lot of games), be thankful there are no full team squads which would probably make it even worse, you don't have to pay to play but it will make you move up the tiers faster, expect to invest a lot of time in the game to do the events, dailies etc. , dont be one of those players that knows every aspect of each tank, every map location... who has time for that this is a game. just play and follow your team around and hope for the best. My game play: Well I think I suck...lol and you will probably agree... 47% - 48%. But I don't care I am just there to blow things up ... lol I just saved up my gold and silver so it does not hurt so much to lose silver in battles.... so stock up to where it wont sting. And I don't splurge on tanks just because I have finished a tier 5 for example and are ready to purchase the next. I do look at and try to review that tank. For example, Churchill VIII passed on as my initial Churchill was horribly slow and too many faster tanks just eat that tank for breakfast. If you can get to the 50's or higher early it is harder to lose that if you have played a lot of games already. I unfortunately would get frustrated and lose 10 or more games on purpose by driving right into the other team because of rage and now find it hard to move up. Matchmaking wont let you win too many games it seems. Shoot me, defeat me I will be back to endure more LOL
