World of Tanks

If I could give it less of a rating I would have. It used to be a fun game, but through their updates they have nerfed good tanks and if you don't spend $$ then you get crappy teams. You will spend hours researching and upgrading a tank only to have them nerf it due to kiddies complaining that it isn't FAIR, and it's OP... Played this game for almost 10 years. It used to be a butt load of fun. Now it's crap. Don't waste your time or money.

I have written four Emails to wargaming.net. All of which, have gone on answered. I have been unable to access my account on iOS for over a month. I have received the automatic emails from wargaming.net, but no one has personally responded. I have spent money on this game, and would appreciate some sort of response from the company. I do not recommend playing games associated with this organization.

If a game makes you more angry than happy maybe it's time to delete it! This is so badly rigged you can tell who will win withing 30 seconds of a 10 to 15 minute battle. 15/2 losses are more common than close battles and that's all you need to know. Some pros will say when you bounce why don't you aim, hahahaha when I aim I miss all together because their rigged games uses "RNG" to it's end goal. Then you always get players telling you how to play and when you eventually listen to them to stop the annoyance you die quickly. This game might start off fun while you learn but I promise one day you will regret all the time you put into it. I am so tired of being angry for something that should bring joy. The only reason it gets 2 starts is the graphics, the rigged batttles should score this a 1 star.

This game was enjoyable for many years. Over the past year world of tanks has become less than enjoyable. If it isn't the plague of connection issues to the servers, it is the many OP tanks and supposed rebalancing they added to the game recently. If you don't pay for premium account or premium plus account, you will be at a significant disadvantage. Although you can still play for free, just know you are going to be at a severe disadvantage going in every game at tier 5, and above. Especially when they're put against tanks, potentially two tears higher in matchup.
It is sad to say, but I will no longer be recommending this game. It seems your only hope to remain competitive is to get/purchase one of the Over powered (OP) tanks "Like the BZ-176" My hope with this post is that anyone thinking about downloading and playing this game would think twice. Just know that if you want to play at a competitive level with moderate skill you may need purchase or receive a speciality OP tank though grinding hours of achievements.

Graphics are great and game play adequate and sometimes fun but this game has major issues. Multi player is so hacked. Cross platform, as in all online games, gives huge advantage to pc players. You're bated into playing the game for free then find out earned tanks suck. Unless you buy a tank and/ or purchase the premium pass your basically fodder for other players. To make things worse to equip your tank with needed camo that to costs. Transferring crew cost. Tanks that are actually competitive cost. Not to mention invisible tanks that just show up. They call it camo but it's so abused by players and arbitrary by the server algorithm aggravation with the game is constant. Servers are randomly picked by the game so you never know where they are located and how bad is the lag. Co Op has its issues too. Hit registration is decent but there a lot of? Moments. AI's spawn out of nowhere and swarm you if you're one of the last players.

Scoring is beyond comprehension for the average player. What information that is available seems so convoluted. Nowhere could I easily fine descriptions or explanations. If they exist they're extremely hard to find. I would add a ton of? Vids but they're on my console and have no way of knowing how to post them here.
So, if you don't mind dumping a bunch of money on an average game just to be competitive have at it. Otherwise don't touch it with a ten foot pole. It's a shame because this game has potential. Those running this operation need some guidance.

W.O.T. Started out pretty fairly balanced about 11-12 years ago...but,and it's a big but...now it's a greed fest,with no support,hackers and cheats running rampant on the platform,and for a game that claims to be "free",unless you spend money,you'll get nowhere,fast. Lower tier light tanks should not be able to wipe out Higher tier heavy tanks,it would Never happen in real life. I'm a Veteran,I know. Here's a free tip,don't subscribe to WarGaming on the net,unless you want the creeps that run the game,crawling all over your profile on whatever console you game with. It happened to me.

Random battles should be set up by player skill, armor, penetration, and speed. To many matches are one sided. The game loses its luster when you are winning only one of eight matches. This has been going on for years. In today's world you can enter every tank and player into a program to even the odds and make gameplay fair.

This game is pay to win. If you don't spam gold no chance to play against other tanks. Absolutely ridicules russian bias - smaller sized tanks have better armor?! Full of hidden stats which ruin the game. Even you play well the matchmaker puts you in total bot team against premium tanks you have no chance to penetrate. This leads to 60% of games ending 15:0 for less than 4 minutes, which you can do nothing against. No effort from Wargaming to improve user experience whatsoever! There is no option to complain and absolutely no feedback from Wargaming on players input.

Worst game ever, without donating you can't even penetrate light tanks on to AT with top penetration. If you don't donate usualy you can't even hit tanks and "VBR" devides teams that way, that 1 team is always losing and 1 is winning (basicaly one team have best players and one have the worst, usualy the one's without premium account or haven't bought anything in the game). So yah, totally unfair game by developers and marketing service, until you pay - you don't win!
DON'T DOWNLOAD IT!

I have been playing this game for 7 plus years and have to come to the conclusion that the games are fixed. This is not a fair online game as they discriminate and allow certain players the privilege of winning and gaining more in the game. Who they discriminate against and what there motivations is probably financial the game is a ripoff and you never get anything fair from the game providers apart from being manipulated. I would not want my kids playing this game because it will only depress.
How can you play this game for a whole week day after day and loose all the matches. It is easier winning the lottery.
Am not sure it a certain region like USA player have priority or players that buy in game products are treated differently. Not sure what the reason is but sure that they are manipulating the game play.
You can loose games in the most odd ways or games that is good as won! Then suddenly something happens and your team looses as always.
Worse online game experience. Waste of time and money.
Very bad customer services.
Very bad policies that only serves the interests of the company.

Bought world of tanks account! The transaction was successful! All happy! Acc is impressive!
Now, you can play on a heavily pumped account, and it's really cool. Earn money for new tanks and sell even more pumped ACC, or game equipment. How can you not be happy?!

Not nice to play a game that you are guaranteed that the match you are in...is a loss. Even before the match started you are so handicapped by non penetration, bounced shots, easy damage to your engine, ammo rack...and the list goes on. If THEY want you to lose...you WILL NOT WIN...no matter how you place.SUCKS doesn't it.

Rubbish game if you want to play a fair, balanced game with a 50-50 chance to win.SUCKS

I have played this game for over a year. I played for free for the first 6 months then upgraded to a premium after that. Any transaction I had on their pay site were instantaneous and accurate, but even if I stop paying for premium, I can continue to play and enjoy.

If you are not paying you will be at a great disadvantage and not worth the time. Playing arty when you target a enemy player they will disappear from screen.

Worst online scam ever. Everything is rigged or broken. It's all about scamming people and draining their money. Never pay for this company.

Complete and utter rubbish.they say but a tank earn more gold every game. Spent au$35, earned 9 gold coins over 3 games, that's it.RUBBISH

This is getting slickening, playing and being killed by the other team when they are not there. I have tried to keep playing but it just gets worse.

WG BANS ACCOUNTS FOR NO REASON, BECAUSE PROOF MESSAGES GET DELETED A LOT, FIND THE MESSAGE THERE:
steamcommunity.com/id/bz76/recommended/*******

THIS GAME IS A HIDDEN -PAY TO PLAY- AND IT IS TOO GREEDY, EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE PREMIUM ACCOUNT ACTIVATED, THE TIER X VEHICLES NEED -50.000 CREDITS PER MATCH TO PLAY.

(WITH THE PREMIUM ACCOUNT ACTIVATED: THE TIER X VEHICLES SHOULD BE FREE TO PLAY AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT ALSO THEY SHOULD GIVE A +20.000 CREDITS PROFIT PER MATCH.)

THIS GAME WILL NEVER TELL YOU THAT ONLY THE TIERS 1-6 ARE FREE TO PLAY. BECAUSE IT USES TRICKS TO TRICK YOU TO INVEST AND YOU WILL NOT KNOW THAT YOU WILL GET BORED SOON. WHY THE 'BATTLE RESULTS' RIGHT SCREEN MINI-NOTIFICATIONS WRITE FOR CREDITS ONLY THE "EARNED FOR BATTLE" NUMBER? THIS IS A SCAM NUMBER. BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS REDUCED BY THE "VEHICLE REPAIR COSTS". THEY WILL WRITE YOU ALL DAY YOU EARN YOU EARN YOU EARN
BUT IF YOU CHECK THE DETAILED BILLS, THEY WILL SHOW YOU THAT IN EVERY MATCH YOU WERE -5000 CREDITS FOR THE TIER 7, -15.000 FOR THE TIER 8, -25.000 FOR THE TIER 9 AND -50.000 FOR THE TIER 10.

I HAVE AN INTERNET-CAFE THAT RUNS WOT TOURNAMENTS SO EVERYTHING I WRITE IS FROM MUCH INFO.

1. WARGAMING YOU ARE BAD. THE TIMES WHEN YOU NERF A VEHICLE BECAUSE IT PROVEN TO BE GOOD, IMMEDIATELY OFFER AN OPTION FOR A FULL REFUND TOO. OR IF YOU DONT OFFER, THAT MEANS THAT YOU DO EVEN MORE SCAMS. THE GAME IS 100% P2W, MORE MONEY = ALWAYS BETTER AMMO+ITEMS+VEHICLES, THEN WHY YOU NERF PEOPLE'S GOOD ITEMS? TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE NOT P2W?
WHY YOU DISVALUE PEOPLE'S ITEMS? THIS IS VERY NEGATIVE FROM YOU.
YOU SHOULD NEVER NERF WITH NO OPTION FOR A FULL REFUND.
THE PLAYERS DONT HAVE TIME TO TELL YOU BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR NEGATIVE ACTIONS.

AND TO EXPLAIN THINGS MORE:
-PAY FOR BETTER VEHICLES- IS OK.
BUT NERFING WITH NO OPTION FOR A FULL REFUND IS VERY BAD._____________________________

2. PUT AN OPTION THAT CAN MAKE THE ACTIONS: CAMERA ZOOM IN + ZOOM OUT, TO BE ABLE TO ACCEPT HOTKEYS.

3. PUT AN OPTION THAT HIDES ALL PLAYER NAMES. BECAUSE MANY NAMES ARE RUDE OR OFFENSIVE.

4. PUT AN OPTION THAT CAN MAKE THE CAMERA TO REMEMBER ITS POSITION FROM LAST GAME. [THE TACTICAL CAMERA].

5. PUT AN OPTION THAT CAN MAKE THE BUTTON: ( ')
TO BE ABLE TO ACCEPT HOTKEY.

6. PUT AN OPTION THAT CAN MAKE THE RETIC\MODE TO NOT ONLY BE TOGGLE, BUT ALSO TO BE ACTIVE FOR ONLY AS LONG AS I PRESS THE BUTTON.
ALSO PUT AN OPTION FOR THE RETIC\MODE'S EXIT: TO RETURN TO TACTICAL CAMERA.

7. PUT AN OPTION THAT HIDES THE LEFT COMMUNICATIONS FEED THAT HAS THE CALLOUTS. USELESS DEVS.

8. PUT AN OPTION THAT HIDES THE RIGHT MESSAGES FEED THAT WRITES ABOUT THE DESTRUCTIONS. USELESS DEVS.

9. SOMETIMES THE MATCH TAKES SO LONG TO START. THERE ARE 300 IN THE QUEUE AND TAKES MINUTES TO START. USELESS DEVS.

10. DELETE THAT 30 SEC WAITING TIME AT THE START OF THE MATCH. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ELSE THAN SERVING A WAITING AND WAITING? USELESS DEVS.

11. IN THE MATCH LOADING SCREENS THAT YOU WRITE ''TIPS'' YOU WRITE TOO MUCH ABOUT BANING ACCOUNTS. WHY IS THAT? YOU LIKE BANING ACCOUNTS? IF YOUR FANS BELIEVE YOU ABOUT THIS, THEY WILL SHUT YOU DOWN.

12. MAKE WOT-PLUS TO INCLUDE PAY WITH PAYSAFECARD.
MAKE A SECOND -PREMIUM ACCOUNT DAYS- THAT WILL HAVE THE NAME -TIER X FANATIC- AND IT WILL COST 2500 GOLD FOR 1 MONTH AND IT WILL MAKE ALL TIER X VERY MUCH PROFITABLE.

13. PUT AN OPTION THAT STOPS THOSE GARAGE FULLSCREEN USELESS ''DECAL UNLOCKED'' NOTIFICATIONS.

14. PUT AN OPTION THAT HIDES THOSE NEW EVENT BANNERS AT THE GARAGE. I HAVE ALREADY CLICKED ON THEM AND THEY DONT GO AWAY. USELESS DEVS.

15. THE CONCEALMENT FEATURE GIVES A VERY UNREAL AND BAD TASTE TO THE GAMER. VEHICLES APPEARING AND DISAPPEARING FOR NO REASON. THIS IS A VERY BAD TASTE. IT MAKES YOU LOSE MANY GAMERS.
FROM THE MOMENT THE VEHICLES ARE SPOTTED: THE VEHICLES MUST BE ALWAYS APPEARING. AND WHEN THEY ARE UNSPOTTED THEY MUST STILL ALWAYS APPEAR BUT WITH NO HEALTHBARS+INFO.

16. DELETE THE MATILDA. DO NOT MAKE THE BATTLEFIELD RIDICULOUS.
DELETE THAT RIDICULOUS MIDDLE PERSON OF THE BATTLEPASS. PUT RΑMBO IN THE MIDDLE IN EVERY BATTLEPASS.

17. PUT AN OPTION THAT BLOCKS THOSE ''COMBAT-IN'' ADS THAT POP OUT AT THE LEFT OF THE GARAGE.
PUT AN OPTION THAT HIDES THOSE POP UPS.

18. PUT AN OPTION THAT STOPS THE CONFIRM ABOUT LEAVING THE MATCH. I WANT TO LEAVE THE TRASH IMBALANCED MATCH WITH ONLY 1 CLICK.

19, PUT AN OPTION THAT HIDES THE BZ176 BOOSTER NOTIFICATION THAT IS NEXT TO THE AIMING CURSOR. IT BLOCKS THE WAY OF AIMING CONCENTRATION.
USELESS DEVS.

20. WHEN SOMEONE PRESSES THE BATTLE BUTTON FOR A RANDOM MATCH QUEUE, YOU HAVE IT THAT A DIRTY GLASS MUST APPEAR TO HIDE EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE QUEUE LIST IN THE MIDDLE. THIS IS A COMPLETELY WRONG BACKGROUND FOR THE SHARPNESS-SEARCHING FPS PLAYER. THE FPS PLAYER BECOMES SLOWLY TIRED FROM YOUR DIRTY GLASSES LIKE THIS THAT ARE IN SOME PLACES OF THE GARAGE. DELETE ALL THOSE UNCLEAR GLASSES BECAUSE YOU ARE LOSING MANY GAMERS FROM THOSE UNCLEAR GLASSES.
ALL MENUS MUST BE SHARP CLEAR AND WHEN YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT SOMETHING: THEN THE BACKGROUND MUST ONLY SIMPLY DARKEN WITHOUT LOSING ITS SHARPNESS.
BUT OFC ALL YOUR DEVS CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE GAMER SEARCHES, BECAUSE ALL YOUR DEVS ARE BACHELOR'S DEGREE STUDENTS THAT NEVER PLAYED A SINGLE PC GAME BUT WERE HOLDING BOOKS ALL THEIR LIVES. THATS WHY YOU ALSO HAVE THE WORLD OF WARPLANES GAME TO HAVE THOSE USELESS AIRPLANES THAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT AND NEVER NEVER PUTTED THE LOCKHEED MARTIN F35 LIGHTNING THAT EVERY GAMER SEARCHES TO PLAY.

21. THIS GAME HAS A FEATURE NAMED -REFERRAL PROGRAM-. THIS IS A VERY CORRECT FEATURE. BUT THE GAME DOES NOT USE IT CORRECT.
THE CORRECT USE IS: THE CREDITS PRIZE OF THE PROGRAM MUST CHANGE EVERY MONDAY. WHEN THE STEAM-CHARTS MONTH'S PLAYERS GO LESS THAN 3000 THEN THAT PRIZE MUST GO +1 MILLION CREDITS. AND WHEN THE PLAYERS ARE MORE THAN 3000 THEN THE PRIZE SHOULD STAY THE SAME.

22. DO NOT HIT THE GAMER WITH PRESSURE. NEGATE THE REPAIR COSTS OF VEHICLES WHEN THE PLAYER HAS IN THE UPPER RIGHT WALLET LESS THAN 50.000 CREDITS.

23. THE GAMER DOES NOT WANT YOUR 500 BUTTONS AND 500 WAITINGS FOR REACHING THE BATTLE BUTTON.
YOU MUST CREATE AN OPTION FOR THE GAME TO AUTO-START AND AUTO-REACH THE GARAGE AFTER PC RESTART.
THE GAMER WANTS TO PRESS PC RESTART, LEAVE THE CHAIR, GO MAKE A REDBULL DRINK, AND WHEN HE RETURNS TO THE PC, THE GAME WILL BE ALREADY AT THE GARAGE SCREEN READY TO BATTLE.

24. AFTER THE PLAYER'S VEHICLE IS DESTROYED: THE MATCH IS COMPLETELY BORING FOR HIM TO STAY, AND RETURNING TO GARAGE TO CHANGE VEHICLE AND LOAD THE NEXT MAP TAKES TOO MUCH TIME, AND WAITING THAT TIME IS VERY BORING.
PUT AN OPTION FOR A QUICK BUTTON: A BUTTON THAT APPEARS IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO THE MINIMAP AFTER THE VEHICLE'S DESTRUCTION. THIS BUTTON, IF PRESSED: IMMEDIATELY LOADS THE NEXT VEHICLE OF THE GARAGE LIST, LOADS IT TO THE NEXT MATCH. AND THE NEXT MATCH STARTS.
FIX THAT OPTION OR YOU DO NOT HAVE FUTURE WITH THAT EXTREMELY BORING THING OF WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING.

THE WOT MATCHMAKER IS A COMPLETE SCAM, ITS WAY IS TO DRIVE YOU TO BUY TIER-X SO YOU TIER-BALANCE YOUR MATCHES, BUT WITH TIER X YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY -50.000 CREDITS PER MATCH TO PLAY. AND THAT SCAM HOPES YOU OPEN YOUR WALLET WITH NO END. THIS SCAMGAME HAS NO RETIREMENT PLAN, YOU WILL ALWAYS SHOOT YOUR WALLET OR PLAY TO LOSE. NO PVE. AND NO OFFLINE MODE = YOU WILL BUY PREMIUM TIER-8 VEHICLES AND THERE IS ALWAYS A 10% CHANCE THAT WG WILL BAN YOU FOR NO REASON. SEARCH GOOGLE FOR WG'S NO REASON BANS. WG BANS YOU AND THE GAME DOES NOT OPEN, WHERE ARE THE VEHICLES YOU PURCHASED? NOWHERE. SCAM COMPANY SELLS THINGS AND AFTER THAT STEALS THOSE THINGS.

(WG DELETES THIS MESSAGE FROM EVERYWHERE OF THEIR MESSAGE BOARDS SO WG WILL BE ABLE TO SCAM THE GAMERS SUCCESSFULLY, GO POST IT TOO AND IT WILL BE DELETED WHEN WG FINDS IT.)

I have been a member player since the Beta test days, it used to be a great game until it became so popular and the developers decide that messing with the algorithms, so that bad players can still win and to keep them playing and spending money on the game, was more important than honest and fair skill based play, these days if you don't pick the right time of day to play you have no chance of winning or achieving a decent match score, to bad as it was a really fun game to play.

Although I enjoyed it(it's interesting you could try many tanks), I can't understand why someone has to pay... I think it's a bad idea to pay for a game which doesn't have an economic "return" to you. In fact, you play regularly, and when you arrive at 5th level you loose more battles than usual, and you have to buy gold to make ends meet. I didn't test Chinese, Italians and Swedish tanks, in my opinion German and Russian tanks are the best.
