15 отрицательных отзывов о World of Tanks — самые честные мнения об играх на VGTimes

Let’s get a few things out of the way, the game itself can be fun, but only at times and only if you know what you are doing, sadly and trust me when i say this, you won’t have much fun playing wot and i will explain why. I’ve been playing since 2022, i saw the game going trough may changes, some good, some bad, but mostly bad.

A not so fun game. Newbies in the game make up for about 70% of the total player base, nothing wrong with that, but this a two edged sword. As a new player, you will get punished for every little mistake you make by people who actually know how to take advantage of the game’s mechanics, you may have fun messing around, because i know i did, but when you get serious, that attitude will frustrate you, because instead of messing around, you are going to want that victory and you will depend a lot on your team IF YOU ARE PLAYING ALONE. A good platoon of 3 can turn the game around, but let’s face it, most of the times you will be alone or with another 2 square heads. This could be sorted out by balancing the teams, but that doesn’t happen. MM should take in to account people’s stats, play time, wn8 rating..etc when making the teams, but sadly that doesn’t happen, not as it should be at least.

The illusion of progress. You know the old trick, when you tie up a carrot to a stick and hang it in front of the donkey? That’s us. The progression in this game goes like this. Tier 1 to 6, decent, doesn’t take much time or effort, quite rewarding and easy to do. Tier 7 to 10, quite the adventure. Why i say this. Well, after tier 7 you hardly make any credits when WINING a battle, when losing, most of the times you will also be losing credits, that wouldn’t be so bad IF you could actually counter that drawback, what a coincidence, you can, by buying premium account. The hates will say «but it’s a free game, stop complaining so much» and to that i will say, it is made to look like a free game, no feel like one. By the time you finish up researching the next tire, you will have about 1 tenth of the money you need to buy that tank, take into account the constant need for premium ammo, because guess what, that’s the only way you will penetrate some of the atrocities you will encounter, the agony you have to go trough before you get a better gun or turret and you have yourself the key to success. Even with premium account, you will need a tier 5, most likely a premium tier 5 to actually make some decent credits and enough gold to convert free xp to skip grinding a stock vehicles.

Premium tanks, lies and deception. There were times when premium tanks didn’t make much of a difference, now, it’s just a reason to keep milking a dead cow. Some vehicles were quite op and unique, making them very special, but also a target for those looking to have an easy game. At first, being very op, those who couldn’t afford them started complaining, in response, WG promised that those tanks would no longer be available for purchase, that they were only an once in a life time deal or that they will get nerfed, did that happen, no, they saw money and money they wanted. What did they do, seeing the peoples need for op tank, they started coming up with stupid ideas like the black market and over priced bundles to keep milking people’s pockets as much as they could and although players kept complaining, they didn’t care, this continues to this day and i am tired of it. In my entire time playing this game, only a single tank saw a major nerf and that was the super pershing, at that time, WG, to my surprise, gave people the choice to either keep the tank or get a full refund and that only happen because they were afraid of losing those with deep pockets.

The MM, a decade old problem. The MM saw many changes and yet, after all this time, it’s still half broken. Most of the times you will have to put up with 2 or rarely 3 arty and 4 or more top tier tanks, placing you either at the bottom of the list or in the middle, that being a more convenient situation, but that is not all, sometimes it will screw up, placing 2 arty at the top of the list, along with another 3-4 top tiers, rendering you useless. Why can’t they balance the damn MM, i don’t know. The game should be — 1 and nothing more and 2 when it comes to arty because some tanks are quite useless against top tiers even when fully upgraded.

Pref MM. This is mostly reserved for premium vehicles and it shouldn’t be that way and this is tied to what i said above. Stock vehicles, some of them at least, should be included here, there should be some king of adaptive mm because as i said, even fully upgraded, some are useless and you will experience this frustration and agony yourself.

The gray area, tier 7 and 9. This is where most of the action takes part and this is also the most annoying part of the game, dealing with tier 9’s as a tier 7 player is a pain in the ass, especially when you add arty to this.

The wn8. What is wn8 you may ask, is some sort of dummy locator, is a stat that basically will let others know how do you perform in the game, making people being toxic and negative even before the battle starts, you may be decent, you may be bad during that battle, but that won’t matter, because they will treat you the same, the lower the number, the more names they will call you. WN8 has no use besides telling people how much you s**k and if you ask me, it should be gone.

Cammo, gold ammo and bonds. These are the 3 horses of the apocalypse. I know that the game has to evolve, i know dedicated players should have their rewards, but why do we have to make the gap between new players and veterans even bigger. Putting everyone in the same pot is like tossing a bull and a dog in the ring, like what the hell. I swear, every single patch they come up with another way of boosting even more a tank’s specs, is not enough that some of they are just stupidly op, no, lets give them another shot. Bounty equipment, improved equipment and now equipment 2.0, curious to see how this will play out. Did i mention you will need to pour constant money into the game to keep up with everyone spamming gold ammo, that surely is fun, because if you don’t, you won’t be able to.

There are more to be said, the mechanics of the game, stupid bugs, premium accounts, arty and many more, but the conclusion is this. The game can be fun at times, but in order to have fun and win, you need a constant platoon of 3 and even then, frustration will come when you encounter op premium vehicles. Do not spend money on the game, because noting will ever change, they do not listen to what players have to said, their only purpose is to milk as much as they can before wot reaches top bottom.
