World of Tanks Blitz Reviews 252

It's not a game. It's an active fraud, all monies go to Russian pedophile ring. Please sign the petition to have these fraudsters and sex pests brought before the law. Save the children!!!!!

This game is trash don’t play it, it’s designed so creators of the game can get your money because what ever tank you buy a tank of lesser grade can destroy your tank you upgrade to a higher level tank and a lower level tank can still destroy your tank.

The game is not evenly matched there is many glitches and bugs, it’s a total waste of a persons time I played for 4 hours never won a game

If you're considering whether or not to give WoT Blitz a try, consider this. You can try it at a basic level without spending out, but, this 'game' is a business and unless it earns money it wouldn't be there.

There are 10 levels (tiers), and the tanks get bigger and more expensive to operate as you move up. You don't have to move up, but you'll find lots of 'encouragement' to do so. There are various reward and wealth systems involving 'credits' and several different types of 'stars' aka 'XP', and there's 'gold' which pretty much can get anything. You can hasten advancement by buying 'gold' or 'bundles' or 'offers' for real money paid through your Microsoft account. Might be 99p or one I saw was over £80 - there may be more expensive ones?

WoT Blitz appears to be WoT lite for play on mobile devices, though can be played on real computers (Win 10). There's no single player games against the program, instead it's live 7 vs 7 so it's different every time. Of course, you get good players and not good players.

Here you hit the first snag. To produce a fair game you need to match-up players fairly. This they insist they do. However, you can find yourself in teams that lose 7-0 seven times in a row - or more! If you used a random system like pulling names from a hat, you wouldn't get that outcome. More chance of getting hit by a satellite ;)

In gameplay abnormal things happen. You're stationary and have targeted another stationary tank, absolutely dead on, yet your shot misses??? You hit a tank 5 times, confirmed, in a positive vulnerable area, and it's damage indicator barely moves??? Your tank needs at least 4 good hits before it explodes, yet, with no damage, you take one hit from a pretty regular tank, and you're done???

It becomes understandable if there is an algorithm involved. Say one like "Dynamic battle session matchmaking in a multiplayer game." Co-invented and patented by......Victor Kislyi of Wargaming Net :o

For me the game is a casual pastime. I have no ambition to be top of anything and no interest in the various side games or tournaments. I'm very happy in the lower tiers as I much prefer faster games with more hits needed than the lumbering monsters delivering one big booooooom and game over in the upper tiers. I'm quite happy to donate a few quid now and then to support my enjoyment. I don't mind if I lose more games than I win if I happy with my play.

What I will not tolerate are the juveniles, inebriated or otherwise, WoT has with the ability to falsify pointless reprimands because it gives them a laugh and because they can. And, equally the appalling WoT policy attitude towards customers.

I'm gone, so that's another income stream you've lost.
