I've played WoT on and off for years now. This is everything good that WoT has to offer without any of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ especially tank tiers you just get the tank and do its thing no needing to worry about being low tier or buying ammo or repairing your tank, or grinding out XP to get modules to make the tank actually playable, and then unlocking the tank and hopefully that tank doesn't suck, it's like if every tank was a T11 tank in WoT. The grind is not bad at all, games are 10 mins max, the abilities are fun to use. I almost have every tank and most of my tanks are at least level 20 already, I had 6 hours on the playtest before this. A lot of the negative reviews come from people who haven't played much, haven't really learned how to play as there is a learning curve if you haven't played a vehicle combat game like this before (Warthunder doesn't count that ♥♥♥♥ is like CoD but with tanks). This game is a ton of fun if you're patient with learning what tank you want to play, and learning the maps. Yeah you can get paired up with some bad teammates, but that goes for any game that is teambased like this. I really enjoy this game but there are some things that I definitely do not like. Cons: In a squad ready is set on by default, kinda defeats the purpose of readying up automatically if I'm not ready. No chat unless in a clan, now this I think is also kind of a good thing, as people (at least in WoT) are very toxic, for no reason and it's nice to not have to deal with people messaging me because I'm trying a new tank and died quickly because I'm learning the tank. However not being able to talk with the team can be annoying, though so far I've really felt like the ping system is doing a good enough job even though it could be better. Joining a clan requires discord being linked to your account, this to me isn't to big of a deal as I don't plan on joining a clan anyways. Clans do get extra territory scans which are pretty much just daily missions to get extra rewards, and where you will get most of your credits, but I've found playing with friends and using salutes on each other has really sped up the grinding process. It is still very unfortunate for players who do not have friends who are interested in playing the game, as they will have to connect to discord to find players to play with and possibly get that boost from getting salutes. Alpha also requires discord, I am not entirely sure that you need to connect your discord account, but you do need to join their discord server to report feedback for alpha tanks (tanks that are being tested are alpha tanks) Now I do think this game isn't going to be for everyone, but I think a lot of the negative reviews I've seen from the game are a little unfair, and wanted to give my 2 cents from someone who has played WoT for the past decade at least as this game feels like a direct call out to wargaming, and how they treat the game, and their players. I'm really looking forward to what's next and hoping that an esports scene can really shine with this game.
