Don't let my steam playtime deceive you, I've been playing this game since beta and have easily put in thousands of hours by now. Hopefully I can share some perspective on what this game looks like in 2021. So, should you play World of Tanks? Maybe. This game does a lot of things right, but many things wrong as well. Let me give you the lay of the land. PROS: Satisfying, arcadey tank combat. No other game comes close (and believe me, I've tried them all) High skill ceiling, lots to learn and master. I've been playing for 10 years and I'm still learning new things. HUGE variety in tank types. You can play lumbering heavy behemoths or zippy light tanks. Lots of variety in play style keeps things fresh. Customizable crews and visuals to fit your play style. Lots of maps. Sense of progression as you unlock tanks and work your way down the tech trees. In-game events. There always seems to be an event around any major holiday. Some are better than others, but it's always fun to check in and see if they've added something cool. New content. More than 10 years after release, Wargaming continues to update the game and add new stuff. WoT has to be one of the most heavily updated games out there; the game in 2021 simply looks and plays so much better than it ever has. Playing with friends is easy and fun. I honestly would have set this game aside years ago if I didn't have friends to suffer through with me. Tanks are cool. CONS: RNG. Everything has an element of randomness, from the accuracy of your shots, to how much damage you do, to the skill level of the players on your team. Anyone that has played this game is familiar with the feeling of rage when RNG (and not skill) causes you to die or lose the game. Steep learning curve. You should expect to suck at this game when you start out, and for quite a while afterwords. This can be really off-putting to new players. Pay-to-win elements. This is a hot topic. Can you throw money at this game and expect to win every battle? No. Can you get an advantage over other players that don't throw money at the game? Absolutely. Everything is available with in-game currency (except for premium vehicles, which are not available for the highest tiers), but you will have a much easier time if you at least pay for a premium account. This game is not nearly as pay-to-win as some people claim, but it certainly has its issues. The grind. Now, this is much better in 2021 than it has been in the past. It's much faster now to unlock tanks, and there are a lot of side missions and events to give you a sense of progression along the way. That being said, you will still spend a large amount of time playing tanks you don't like in order to get to ones you do. The developers. I can't understand why, but Wargaming is notorious for making changes to the game that are unilaterally disliked by the community. They ask for feedback and then completely ignore it. Artillery. TL;DR - This is a brilliant and unique game that has a lot to offer, and has a great deal of replayability, but is marred by pay-to-win elements, a steep learning curve, and questionable decisions by its developers. If you're looking for an arcadey tank game with engaging and complex combat mechanics, extensive tech trees, and a variety of tanks with a plethora of play styles, then this game may be for you. If you can't stand RNG, do not tolerate pay-to-win, or do not have a lot of time on your hands, I'd give this one a pass.Show moreShow less

Don't start to play the game. The reasons: 1. Wargaming NEVER cared for the community. It was always about the money. It would be so easy to make the game more enjoyable again. 2. Nowadays the game is almost pure pay-to-win. It used to be relatively fair and balanced in the old days. But those are long gone. 3. Premium tanks for 40 bucks are outright better than their tech-tree counterparts. 4. The game is one ENDLESS grind. There is no real endgame apart from the world-map clan fights which are senseless. Even if you just wanna play the top tier tanks you will need to grind with your tier VIII premium tanks, if you are not a very good player. 5. For beginners it's a nightmare. You don't have a good crew and have a massive disadvantage. And you don't even realize it. As a seasoned player you have the means to upgrade your crew, but new players will suffer. 6. Match making is pure garbage, most games are over after 5 minutes now with one team winning bigly. Sometimes you have a close game where you perform well and that keeps you playing. Just like in gambling. 7. New OP tanks are introduced around Xmas, but they are only available in loot boxes (around Xmas) for a long time. So they can leech more money out of the customers. 8. If you expect to have historrically accurate tanks... forget it. You want to play with the mighty Tiger? It has no armor and gets in games with tanks from 20 years later. 9. Not being able to continue your old account on steam is the icing on the cake. If my post here made you reconsider and you don't start playing, then I'm a happy man. Because I saved you from a lot of wasted time that you could otherwise have spent much more wisely. I have played this game for almost 10 years until I gave up. Please don't make the same mistake. Small Update because of some comments: Just to put it into perspective. I have roundabout 27500 matches in the game, which translates to like 3600 hours in the game. (There are people with far more than 100000 games.) I just downloaded and started the game once to be able to write this review. Apart from that I have deleted the game and stopped playing. ===== Answer to the dev (PeaceSoldier): I'm sorry to say this but: First sentence, first lie. You never cared about player feedback. Otherwise premium ammo would be different, tanks would be balanced below tier X. Match making wouldn't be with 2 tiers difference. But ok, let's talk about the other stuff: What kept me in the game for such a number of battles? On the one hand the game had a much better meta on in the first years. So it was kind of fun. On the other hand I was in a chill clan and we even played on the world map. As long as you are in a good community, everything is more fun. So basically the game becomes your daily routine. At some point of course it starts to get more like work. And that's the problem with WoT, it is only work. Games are supposed to be fun, or you can try around and experiment. But WoT is no such game any more. WoT is work. But when you have like 15 Tier Xs or so, and other stuff that you achieved, you don't easily quit a game. So did I enjoy some of the battles? Sure, even shortly before I stopped playing. About 1 in 20 games was fun. But if I play 10 battles and spend my whole free time in the evening, I might have played 10 bad or medicore games where one side wins 15:3 oder loses 3:15 and you couldn't do much. Because you ruined the match making. And I say you did it on purpose. Why endless grind is bad? The games is designed to be grinded ONLY: 1. You want to play your tier Xs? So you need to grind your tier VIII premiums for credits. 2. You want to grind the tech tree to get a new tank? So you need to also grind credits in parallel. Ofc best with your Tier VIII premium tanks. And I'm assuming you have a premium account too, because otherwise it takes forever. So that being said, it would be best if you could also play tier VIII only. Without meeting tier IXs or Xs. But you won't do that for obviously wrong reasons like supposedly "worse match making". Speaking about grinding again: All the new special game modes seem like fun at first glance, but if you wan't the more decent rewards, you have to play the same game mode over and over again. It's the only principle in the gameplay mechanics in WoT: GRIND Even the ranked mode is basically one big grind and you will most likely shoot 90% premium ammo and lose tons of credits. So you need to farm with your tier VIII premium tanks again. This is even true for most of the really good players. So after mentioning the tier VIII premium tanks so often, that leads us to the problem with them: The first premium tank I bought AFAIR was the FCM 50t. It wasn't OP back then because virtually no premium tank was as good as a tech tree counterpart. Nowadays it's pure garbage. And I payed like 40 bucks for it. The same was true for the Super Pershing ("Suka Pershing") and then for the IS-6. Imagine meeting the new Italian autoloader tier VIII/IX/Xs with those tanks. Well THAT's fun. Next tank I had: The Mutz, or as it is called "Schmutz" (use google translate). All those tanks fell victim to the power grind. If you don't buy one of the OP premium tier VIIIs like the Progetto 46 you simply won't have a good time. Bisonte C45, GSOR 1008 are other examples. And those were only in the loot boxes. And when all players had too much gold from all the loot boxes (like me) you sold the Object 703 for REAL money as the last offer in the advent calendar. NICE! You know what? I still got like 30000 gold in the game (around 120€) and I still deleted it. That should tell you how much I like the game. And one thing is sure: Even if Wargaming suppesedly had like the best game of all times, I wouldn't buy it. Because I know it will be a rip-off at one point.Show moreShow less

I am a veteran player of nearly 10 years, so I think I know a thing or two about the game. Here's my take on the game: PRO - Graphics: The game looks great, running on a custom-designed graphics engine which has surprisingly moderate system requirements - There are many different tanks to research - WoT features lots of community events; there's something new almost every week - Games can be entered quickly, and servers are generally quite stable CON - Strong pay-to-win aspects. Some examples: new premium tanks are mostly stronger than researchable tech tree tanks (used to be different btw), playing high tier matches is hardly an option unless you invest money, premium ammunition and other consumables that provide a distinct advantage cost a lot of credits (which again are difficult to afford without paying real money) ... etc. - Premium tanks are very expensive, with a single tank often costing 30 Euros and more (To be fair, it is not really necessary to buy too many, though) - The WoT community is probably among the most toxic among all online games - certainly the worst I know, by a mile. So toxic, in fact, that there is a series of YouTube videos dedicated to demonstrate just how destructive players sometimes are - Poor map designs: Many maps are one-sided (i.e. favour spawn points), offer little variation or are really too small for the capabilities of the tank tiers that can play on them. Note that this is not true for all of them, of course; some are really great, but notably the more recent ones are mostly really poor - Extremely poor game balancing: This is the easily worst aspect of the game, and it comes in many shapes. Some examples: * Although there are exceptions in every tech tree, it is an open secret that certain nations are quite consistently better than others in the game. Not that Wargaming would ever admit that, of course. * Wargaming has a policy of rewarding the strongest players with the strongest tanks, so in high tier matches inexperienced players are put at an extra disadvantage * Some tank classes are extremely difficult to counter (artilleries, wheeled tanks with an absurd auto-aim while moving). * Due to the nature of matchmaking you will frequently find yourself in matches where you can do next to nothing * The disparities in strength between tanks of the same Tier are often hair-raising. On Tier VIII, for example, a handful of tanks (mostly premium, of course) are so utterly dominant that the rest might as well not be in the game. and and and ... All in all, I would not recommend WoT to any new players anymore. It really isn't a particularly good game now; Wargaming have made too many poor design decisions over the past few years - the introduction of the stupefyingly idiotic wheeled tanks was just one example among many. It is true that it still has no equal in its niche, so if somebody wants to play a fast-paced tank shooter, it's probably this or nothing. However, those new players who are giving it a go should prepare for a game experience that is 10% fun and 90% frustration, and that frustration will way too often not be caused by their own inadequacy, but by poor game design. TL,DR: Spare yourself the frustration, play something that is actually fun. It's not like there aren't plenty of great games out there.Show moreShow less

Been playing since early 2011, and having even played the game professionally at one point, I simply cannot recommend this game. The main problem is clearly the fact that any existing players are required to create a brand new account and play through the abysmal tutorial that WG have set up in order to play, and this is due in part to WG "never believing their game would be multi-platformed". Through all the ups and downs I have had with this game, it's still a hilarious irony to realize that even after a decade of this game being around, WG still doesn't care about it the way they should. Had proper development of the esport or the game in general taken place, this game could've easily been an all-time great, alongside other top-tier esport games. Sadly, however, that will never be the case due to the money-hungry and greedy nature of WG. I will also say that if you're looking for an insanely popular game that lets you play at literally any time of the day, this is the game, just not if you're playing in NA, SA, or Oceania. The game's audience is solely left to the EU and RU market, where the vast majority of players are located, and thus the game is thriving in those two regions. If you want to play the game, I would advise that you stick to WG's client. Who knows how useless the Steam Client will be considering they couldn't do the most minor task of letting us link accounts.Show moreShow less
