Formerly terrific, now totgepatchter scrap!

World of Tanks has long passed its zenith and is therefore squeezed out of Wargaming only for the maximum profit. One can only strongly advise against any player from a Premium account. What are the reasons?

1. The game is technically become an absolute care case. The game engine is now hopelessly outdated. Probably for cost reasons waived wargaming on the implementation of a modern engine, which on the one hand offers multicore support and on the other hand an acceptable ratio of image quality to existing hardware.

2. The game was based successively updated. The Gamplay is just still abysmal. Among the main reasons are the frighteningly simple designed cards. Almost all the cards in the last two years have hose cards allow only 2 to 3 narrow paths. The majority of cards is therefore built accordingly so that you can basically play little mobility and firing range of the coat to surprise the enemy or free time to monitor sections with fire. In addition, numerous maps have been provided with significant increases, which makes the gameplay incredibly tough and predictable. So almost all the matches run on the respective cards from always in the same way. It decides at the beginning of a movement hose, moves into this and hitpoints to shoot at close range down to the always same corners and obstacles. Who does it better wins. Why wargaming maps created with conditions that all tactical principles of the tank insert are diametrically opposite in reality, probably remains their secret. Only a fraction of the cards are play of good to very good quality and allow each of the five anti-tank classes (heavy and medium battle tank, tank destroyer, Spähpanzer and artillery pieces) its strengths as camouflage, precision, agility, visibility and armor. According arising on these few cards always exciting and varied matches. But the vast majority of cards torments the player with the always same sequence and inevitably leads to the widespread transition to unit tanks, which are displayed in the game mainly by medium tanks. In order for the game with each new scrap card loses its appeal continues.

3. Wargaming will earn World of Tanks legitimately money. For this purpose in the game ample opportunities for the consumption of silver and gold on offer. Gold is only available for real money, the rest of you get in normal play, but also just for money. Consumption is generated mainly on the silver standard, in which the repair costs and ammunition with each animal to rise, until only one Premium Account provides enough income for profit. In order to melt the silver currency, wargaming has had always come up with recent updates new things. In addition to the global reduction in accuracy for a higher Munitionsverbauch you could buy special consumer goods and premium ammunition for silver currency at a certain point. The premium ammunition there was previously only for gold and was thus used rarely. Premium ammunition in itself would be no problem if it were per Match severely limited for the respective tanks and the player would have to thus well considered and used tactically. Instead you can be loaded 100% with it. Premium ammunition usually has a much higher penetration power than regular ammunition and some have a greater harm. With that in principle unlimited availability of premium ammunition an important, even outstanding element of the game is negated and that the armor. Where normal ammunition bounces, the player simply worry about a new approach or flanking invites only premium ammunition to and then he needs to do more often. Thus one has regarding the game. The gameplay awarded the deathblow. The profit results for wargaming from the increased cost (expensive ammunition on the one side and more damage on the other), which can be compensated for in the long term only with Premium account or purchased currency.

4. Another construction is the matchmaking. Normal Randoms played 15 vs 15. Unfortunately the balance here is pure coincidence. Whether players still drive with undeveloped tanks, have a poor performance history, etc. does not matter at matchmaking. Furthermore trains (2 to 3 United player) thrown into the Randoms indiscriminately. In the early days of World of Tanks trains were matched with other trains, the single-player Random remained generally among themselves. Now three players on the train can coordinate 20% of the team, while the rest must anticipate. Dadruch regularly incur significant balance disorders in the Zulosung of the platoon. Through all of these things one has too often matches that you win either too fast or losing. Really exciting and intense matches are rare. Another factor is the extremely capricious random in the game, which will decide whether a shot is not true or if he meets, whether he penetrates. The reason for this is a fairly wide variations in the values ​​in which the random number generator takes over the decision. This one just feels far too often fooled.

One could cite many more points, why has become totgepatchter scrap a once grand game. The hope of a technical adjustment to the state of the time I gave up. Instead wargaming poses ever new tanks into play to force even more money from the cash cow. Players invest time and money in the enticing new tanks or their research and shortly thereafter they are lowered by the performance parameters here. In business, it's called fraud, in the vernacular confidence trick.

Conclusion: Stay away from this waste scrap and just a penny. There are much better MMOGs.
