The game contains historically authentic tank models, whose armor, weapons, and parameters are taken into account in the game. Only play if you accept and understand this.

Surprisingly solid gameplay with fair play in mind, its like a free breath of air compared with other tanks themed games. Lets hope its stay this way and later do not add spg with satelite aiming or other stupid thing like that. In this stage is just a treat for player tired of WOT unfairness .

So I played a few games just to check it out and, to all those negative reviews, calm your whiny a$$es down... yeah game has issues so what? I never played it personally but saw a couple of videos, and I'm pretty sure even WoT back in 2000 whatever wasn't as smooth as it is now. Practice makes perfect, and in this case if the devs are really really really and genuine into putting effort in the game, I'm sure they will optimize it so your 50k $ computers can be able to play the game... also this might be a ''bad carbon copy of WoT'' like some comments said, so what? Everything is a carbon copy of something nowdays. PUBG and Fortnite, Marvel Rivals and Overwatch, Hell let loose and Post Scriptum, so saying that this is like WoT doesn't add anything scandalous to your comment.
Now onto what the game is and how the experience was for me:
- Essentially is a very simple version of WoT Blitz (which is a simple version of WoT so you make the calculations) BUT, this doesn't mean is a bad game. Yes it's laggy but like said above, the game just got on Steam and probably it even just got released at all. I don't know anything about pc tech stuff but I guess solving those kind of issues (lag spikes, delay etc...) takes quite a bit of time and tests and all of that. Controls also are a bit weird meaning that if you move or especially turn your tank it takes like half a second for the imput to go through so the tank actually turns.
- Main menu and interface are quite simple, which for some reason are bad and for some are good. Good reason is that you don't have a lot of things all over your screen while playing, bad thing is that you don't have many settings or options to properly optimize your game, also you can't change your nickname but have to stick with the random one you get (or at least I couldn't find an option to change it) so hopefully the devs will add this feature in future updates to put your own nickname or something that just automatically puts your Steam nickname in the game like almost every Steam game.
- So far the shop doesn't seem pay to win because you can only buy gold (the premium currency), silver (the ''main'' currency), skins for 3 tanks one for each of the 3 nation available for now, and premium account which doubles your silver currency earnings. No premium tanks or anything that makes someone a god after swiping the credit card. But again, the game just came out so we'll see what the future (and the devs) has for us, hopefully it doesn't become pay to win of course, that's my main wish.
- Tech trees are quite ''empty'' meaning there's not many tanks in any of the 3 nations. Germany has 13 which is also the only one having 3 TD, USSR and USA have both 8 to 10 tanks and no TD. Also every type of tank is kinda all mixed up together, you don't have a specific line with just heavies or one with just mediums etc... but again, like said with pretty much every point listed, game is new so maybe in future they will add more tanks and split them in their different roles. Also there are no premium tanks which is a big plus for me, same reason I said for the shop above. And if premium tanks will be added in future updates, I hope they will not be op compared to the tech tree ones, even if you just get double the reward by playing a premium instead of a tech tree tank, I'm sure is a good enough reason to spend money on a premium tank. Plus there's always skins that are only cosmetics that can be implemented into the game if the devs want a reason on creating a market to earn money.
- graphics even at the lowest seems pretty nice, but the sounds I don't know why but it seems there's something weird about it. Not that is a bad thing it just there's something in the back of my head saying that it doesn't seem right lol
Experience:
I genuinely enjoyed those few games I did. Yes like most people said game is rough, laggy etc... but if I managed to get 2 or 3 kills in each match, with my not so good pc which isn't really meant for gaming, with an experience of gaming of not being a god and having unlocked only 1 T10 tank in WoT, I'm sure you'll be more than fine. I'll definetly keep playing this and I hope devs will keep updating the game and most of all more and more people will be brought in and give a chance to this game. Other than that, game is free to download so I can't say anything else more in this review that will truly tell if you like the game or not unless you try it yourself.
Best case scenario, you found a variation to WoT. Worst case scenario, you lost a few minutes or a hour giving a new game a chance yourself instead of just reading bad/good reviews of people you probably will never meet in real life believing them and avoid trying it yourself maybe regretting it in the future.
There might be more stuff to be said, but I'm not an expert on pc tech or a game developer so I don't see anything else that was worth noting and mentioned here. If you donwload it, have fun! If not, goodluck both in your gaming and real life!

This game is really good. It's fun and also kept somewhat more casual, but you can unlock tanks relatively quickly. Good quality paired with fast loading times and connection to server. It's way better than WoT. Unfortunately, a few features like groups etc. are still missing, but that will surely come soon! I finally had fun with a tank game again.
