World of Tanks


World of Tanks is a team-based free MMO action game exclusively focused on the armored warfare in the mid-20th century. Created by the strategy masterminds at Wargaming.net, this is a shooter with a lot of tactical elements to be taken into consideration. Choose your tanks and enter epic battles!

An advanced upgrade system will turn your simple tank into one amazing destruction machine, able to take out all the rivals that stand in your path. Choose your vehicle carefully, from fast and maneuverable tanks with less protection to the heaviest but slower machines. Or go for a compromise between the two, with an all-purpose medium tank. Whichever you choose, make sure it fits your gameplay style.

However, it’s not just the tank that will win the battles. In World of Tanks, besides being a great commander you also need to be a great team player. The combined efforts of every soldier in your team will take you one step closer to victory.

Improve your tank with the experience and credits you earn in battle so that you can research and develop upgrades and mods for your war machine, RPG style. The performance in the battlefield will be completely different with the upgrades. World of Tanks is an authentic game, recreating over 150 tanks produced in Germany, Soviet Union, and the United States with incredible fidelity. Try some legends of the 1930 – 1950 period, including some prototypes that we’re never unleashed in the battlefield.

World of Tanks is a shooter with a high strategy element, where teamwork is key. Crush you enemies and destroy most of the scenario that gets in your way, creating shortcuts for you and your teammates to explore.

Wargaming.net also publishes World of Warships and World of Warplanes.

Don't let the deceptive marketing and simple controls fool you. This is not casual action game. World of Tanks should only be recommended to masochists and people you hate.

Played the game on and off for 9 years. 150000 battles and a former officer of three large well known clans. They game a gotten so bad I quit today. Im a lawyer and cpa and the mechanics have gotten so complicated, i no longer understand them. The developers have added too much equipment, too many pay to play items, no skill based matchmaking, and a player base that has dwindled from 50000 payers on 3 servers at a time to just 10000 on one. They have added wheeled tanks... lol.. that are nothing more than race cars for 12 year olds that cannot be slowed down. No strategy anymore. I love the concept, love the graphics, love the maps, but the game has simply become unplayable. I used to have a rating of 5500-6000 and a win rate of never below 52.5%. Im down to less than 49% after the changes. And I have 150000 battles. Im a former Guiness Book of records world record holder in 1980 in Asteroids. And the game in unplayable. Its too bad because at one time the game was the best there is.

The game has gone so far down hill. I saw a meme the other day that explained it perfectly: I play the game...then remember how broken it is, get frustrate and stop playing....then I forget how frustrating it is....then I play the game again. This is World of Tanks. The developers KNOW about the problem with the game but just keep adding new content nobody wants. Wheeled tanks, too many arty, absurd auto-loading tanks, an entirely broken matchmaker and repetitive maps. This is the reality. It is 100% pay to win.

I do not agree with some commentators that the game over time has become more likely negative than positive. This is a classic military-historical game that can interest and retain mainly the male audience. Awesome graphics. Obviously a significant budget. Thousands of fans around the world. As for the use of profanity in chat, this is inevitable for all brutal games. Fortunately, there are technical options for disabling chat. In order to objectively evaluate the game and understand the scope of the project and the efforts made by the creators for this period, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with other similar reviews of the game (https://thinkmobiles.com/blog/world-of-tanks-review/ ), In any case, the game Deserves attention.

This isnt anymore the game was upgraded too far from what you guys saying next there are more tanks,maps, etc... then for all the guys that say its pay to win no i dont think so yes you have to grind but theres also plenty of info resources you can read and watch to play your tanks, yes there are cheaters and they get ban for 7 days 1st infraction or perma ban for constant using of mods that gives you little advantage over the rest of the players but if you want to cheat go ahead get ban from the game or you can choose not to be ban and play fair, for the last some websites gives you for free a code that gives you 7 days of premium account and a premium tank to play this game for free (until the 7 day account runs out) also there is a tutotrial inside the game.

I played 3k+ games and I would have to say, this is a pretty frustrating game.

Whether you do well in a match depends on whether you got lucky with the matchmaker. If you're put in a match with a bunch of weak tanks, you'll end up with multiple kills even if you're an absolute nub. Yet if the matchmaker puts you in a match with a bunch of strong tanks, you won't be able to do any damage at all. You're just there to be a target.

It wasn't that bad in the lower tiers (relatively). I guess there are more players in those tiers, so the matchmaker didn't have to go too out-of-range to match tanks.

I played 49k games of WOT and for the people that don't think there isn't hacks in the game there is. I have used aimbot, tundra and several other mods that give you advantage over other people. I have played this game for about 4 years and finally just walked away because of people worrying about stats. You can use a mod called XVM that will give your stats and other peoples. If WOT would get rid of mods and XVM the game would then most likely be played without cheats. As long as stats are involved people will use aimbots to improve their stats.

It is true if you don't have a prem account which I did or prem tanks which I had all of them including the Type 59 you can't make enough money to play the game. If you play a tier X tank without prem and you get ammo racked without doing damage you will lose thousands of game money.

This game 'SUCKS', everyone who beats me is a CHEATER and all winners are PAY TO WIN.
The other way of looking at it- Better players win more, they know the maps better, know the equipment better and can put their strengths against your weaknesses. I'm a total newbie in the game with less than 200 games in WOT after 1000+ in Armored Warfare and War Thunder. I'm pretty good in those but lucky to survive 30% of the time in WOT and have only contributed in a handful of games but that is my fault and not a conspiracy of WG and an army of cheaters!
Plenty of toxic rubbish in game but no more than any other game- try Armored Warfare for example. WG do put out premiums for sale but they have their own weaknesses and not hugely OP (OK I know the E25 is back up for sale!) but WG is a business and they sell to make a profit and to develop the game.
Just chill out, calm down and enjoy the game. The idiot chatters can be ignored and if youre still so angry you need to vent on line- there is always the close button and other games to play.

As with any other game..."IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY"! If you don't pay for a premium account, it can take you years to build up any vehicle to the point of where it becomes what you would think & hope it would become a better weapon. NOT HAPPENING! Most of the higher skills actually offer little or no advantage to your overall tank & crew performance. Statistics are constantly recorded in this game to make sure that the team "MatchMaker" always looks at your performance to make sure you are started off against other players who will eventually keep your winning performance around the 50% mark. A "Random Numerical Generator" also included with the game programming can also limit the effectiveness of your shots against an enemy target. Damage might be decreased (rarely increased) or you might bounce or ricochet a shot. Having too many good players will discourage & drive away potential income from newer players. Too many new players with smaller, faster tanks can frustrate & drive away older experienced players with higher tiered & more expensive tanks to fix. It's a Catch 22. People start complaining about a newly released vehicle being over powered & needed to be scaled back. No problem! Next month World of Tanks will be more than glad to release & sell you an even more powerful tank so you can get revenge on the people who have kicked your butt all through the previous month. It's never ending! People will swear up & down that no cheating exists in this game, but the obvious question is why World of Tanks even has to have a policy against the use of illegal mods if everything is on the server side is on the up & up? There are programming issues & video rendering problems that are well known of. When an enemy player can sneak up right behind you without having his location within a predefined area lit up, & you finally realize they are there AFTER you have been shot in the butt...OH YA, WORLD OF TANKS HAS OBVIOUS ISSUES! Don't even get me started on SOME of the people who play this game. Clan members & their inflated egos are the worst & they won't hesitate to call you down & everything in the book for every mistake you make during gameplay. If you don't consistently measure up to THEIR expectations, you're always a "NOOB" or worse & you should do the world a favor & uninstall the game immediately & completely. There's no worthwhile gaming community here unless you want to tweak your foul mouthed & racist comments! That apparently is against the game rules too....BUT....nobody....least of all World of Tanks gives a damn & doesn't want to be known by making their money from babysitting.

Too many cheaters in this game. I was playing 2 weeks, and got tier4 tank. But I realize situation, when tier 1 players got kill me... from nowhere, with single shot. How this is possible? 50-60% battles lose. 40-50% battles -died with shot from nowhere. Other cheaters are using infinite armor. (it looks like ex.: 140, 220), but 10 rounds with 37mm cannon doesnt harm his tank -> 0% damage.
This game is full of cheaters, this is why I stop playing.

realistic? some one really used that word with WoT here is a little story using realism in WoT.... Tiger P sees M4 Sherman Tiger P fires hits M4...M4 goes BOOM! or M4 sees Tiger P M4 fires hits Tiger P crew goes did some thing hit us? then sees M4 Tiger P fires and again M4 goes BOOM! realism is not one of things to describe WoT gun accuracy is WAY off guns that had a rep for insane accuracy now might hit 50% of the time and guns that did good but not that accurate now hit 80% of the time.
When WG nerfs tanks they say it is for game balance but when they buff Russian tanks they say it is for historical accuracy how about we give Russian tanks some game balance and the others some historical accuracy cause looking back over some of the patch notes for buff and nerfs russians get 2 or 3 nerfs and 6-10 Buffs others get 1 or 2 buffs and then get 3-8 nerfs

A really fun game, however, the biggest drawback is counting on 14 other players to act as a team with tactics and a plan of attack. it comes down to 5 players or so out of the 15 who have enough experience and gameplay knowledge to try to win the match. the other 10 are noobs who don't learn how to play, suiciders who rush the other side, or campers who will never move from their spot. frustrating as hell. the game can be played with out spending the money, and played well. the bonus for spending money is nice, but not needed. the in game matchmaker is seriously flawed though. as mentioned before here, a tier 4 can play against tier 8 tanks in certain matches. don't really know the algorithms WG uses for the MM, but you see a really experienced player (5000 battles or more) going against a player with much less experience in game (1000 battles or so) nearly all the time. matches should be graded against in game experience, not the level of the tank. and putting a tier 4 against tier 8 is ridiculous. in game the saying is you are a scout, so be fast, and run away from any tanks you see. many matches the cannon on a lower tier tank just cant damage the higher tier tanks. no penetration at all. so you end up running around till one of the bigger tanks shoots you once, and ends your match. the DT are trying to work out how to make it a little more even for the casual players to enjoy, but it is taking away from the hardcore gamers experience. MM should be better adjusted for the players it puts into matches.

The best thing in this game is 0% pay-to-win because you can get almost EVERYTHING with in-game credit but the sucking thing is that you sometimes play with much more bigger tiers than your example: tier 6 tanks and tier 8 in same game.

one of the best game i ever played, but it kinda gets boring..it takes a VERY LONG time to get another tank, which really SUCKS. all i do is to go to matches and spray n' pray, and as you get up, it gets much much harder, people will OWN YOU as you climb the tech tree. also before you get a very awesome tank you will have to buy a super-duper-epicly crappy tank (eg:Russian T-52, which you need to get before you buy the KV-1, a big boss with lots of armor and can kick other peoples asses with ease.). And i don't think this game is very fun. But the game still rocks, but its gotten boring for me lately.

This game is garbage. The community is infested by players that have no clue what they are doing and all of them want to drive the next tank without learning anything.

In general out of a team of 15 players 12-13 are worse than bots. Also the game is full of bots credit leaches and afk-ers

Don't waist your time with this game.

Changed from a Tank Simulator with real great Engine and other to a Arcade game with not more then People they want become Money for nothing, when you have Problems with Account Createt a new 1 that is faster then the stupid messages from the Support, when you by Tier 7 or 8 you real know that you need a Prem account or you lost all your money and you must by a prem tank and farm for some new one. I can say let it, the game is down, the people where play are to 90% noobs, and you can become a real big tank with only do nothing in game, and you can see it when you play how many idots are on.
Teamplay is a not known in the game every stand for himself and die allone.
When you want to lost time, read a bock or play Solitare its in the Time to Fun Level better.

does anyone else find this to be true?P.S.I have spent at least $60.00 dollars so far only to find that the tier 7 French and American tanks are paper thin and do not stand a chance .This is very non gratifying to find you should have kept your tier 6 tanks that you could at least win with some times and earn at least a few credits and experience points with even if you loose.Imagine my surprise when I found that enemy tanks I could sometimes defeat with my tier 6 tanks were now blowing my tier 7 tanks out of the water effortlessly.Plus I ended up in the red even if my team won.To say I was angry and disappointed would be a gross understatement.Once you buy these crap tanks you can not get your hard earned experience, ,or gold credits back.you can get some but not all silver credits back if you sell these crap tanks.

This game is way to expensive if you want to win .If you don't mind being cannon fodder then it is free.One piece of advice.Do not buy a tier 7 American tank.even if you win a battle you will probably go in the red with credits because they are very expensive to repair.

At first I thought the game was pretty lame. Really low FPS and not much fast action. Then I got to thinking that well this is Tanks!!! Slow and stategic is the play with this shooter. Once you turn the graphics down to conform to your video card it's rather entertaining. I recommend the download and take a little time to get used to the gameplay as it can be rather fun. The way the lobby throws you into a group with other players is quite nice. You don't pick a server and get stuck with the same blowhards on a clan server as this assembles the teams on its own. It also has a ban system that will stop anyones play that team kills. So download and give it a go as it is quite the nice free game!

yes the game is good but it is now forcing people to spend money. if you want to get the tier of tanks that everyone wants you to have for clan wars;or, tankcompanies. cause there is no person who is going to take what they concider a weaker tank and put it into thier company. so if you do not spend money. then you are left to do the standard battles( or random). thats where their match maker throws people together. now i have never spent any money with them. and with my account on the game. i can not get into a victory side of the random battles. to get the credits needed or the xp required. cause the match maker is putting me into too high of a tier battle;and , the side i am put on always get stomed like the tanks are all being one shotted. plus tanks i could hit and damage befor. i can no longer damage by any means. and most that play the game. spend the money on the premium accounts and premium tanks and premium rounds(used to shoot other).the gold round (as they are called in game) are ammo you load onto your tank by spending gold credits. most of the time the gold round do one shot most tanks. and any wot player will tell you they are the ones that starts fires in the tanks most of the time. then the company does not support extra game controllers like a joystick. now people will say i do not know what i am talking about. but, like the stats for my account does lie. cause i started playing world of tanks when AT&T finally got dsl to my area. which was Dec.6, 2010. my account stats says "my account was created Jan.5.2012 when i bring this up to support all they say is i must contact european server; but, I have only used the north america server. and what it all boils down to. is the fact. i have never spent a dime on the game. sence i started Jan. 5, 2011.

this game doesn't have enough balance - tier 2 tanks vs tier 5/6/7; they think the armor around the turret should be stronger than the armor around the hull of the tank; the standard ammo - well you'd get the same effect by throwing rocks at the other tanks; they also think that the prototypes all work as specified - which is why a good 90% of the tanks NEVER made it to production; they also think its cool to be shot and/or killed by tanks that you can not see nor appear on your radar - non artillery tanks of course. after the novelty of the game wears off, this game has loads of frustration. it even takes 45 days to cancel your account.

I´m think this game is the best atm, my opinion is just that you need to have a premium account to play cause you get more exp from battles and money, but it´s not expensive at all..makes the experience more and more better, just wondering the new skills they are adding on patch 7.2. It´s going to be fun to see what people takes :) but still have been playing to tier 7 now and there has been only 2 frustrating tanks that i really did not like (Sherman and T-34) :D Really got some grey hair because of those two..but after Sherman and T-34 got the Jumbo and T-34-85 and they both rock! Just got my IS now, need to check if it´s good, any experiences? But this is just a somehow pointless comment to the game, just a little of my own gaming. This is just my own little appreciation to the game and a little info. I would sincerely recommend this game to anyone that likes to play a good tank game.

Many seem to over rate this game. Maybe because they were not on the fun fun train since Alpha.

I've been in alpha, though nearing the end. The whole beta and i just CANNOT force my self to play the same damn tanks again.

Yes i know i AGREED to the user agreement. (World of tanks staff is pretty much NAZI to any freedom of speech, remember that. I am not exaggerating. You WILL be BANNED for any form of free speech.)

What also many do not seem to get is, they just play a new Skin, its the same damn thing that just pretty much moves faster and has a longer barrel for more damage. Ofcourse I love WW2 Tanks, i adore them, but suffering the pain twice?

As for EXP gain. Be prepared to have a horrific team set for you, who are so trigger happy, that they will shoot you at the slightest of impact. Be it accident or purpouseful.
Now why did i put that into the EXP topic? Because without a great team you will not earn any EXP, literally.

So you spent 12 minutes of your life in a camping map, your team was full of idiots who got themselves killed and you were One shot by the main battle tank. EXP rewarded: Under 100

Sounds okay right? Wrong. You need like 12000-70000 EXP. Now imagine grinding all the way up there in the most horrificly imbalanced vehicle you have ever driven. And no, it is not a Russian tank.

Now comes, favoratism. Since the game was developed by Russians, the Russian tanks are boosted to hell, while germans who are SUPPOSED to have SUPERIOR armor are nerfed time and time again.

The E-75 showed some promise before being released from the testing cages of the test server,
Guess what? It got nerfed till it was utterly useless.

Then come the Hardcore ignorant fanboys who defend the game no matter what. In they're eyes the game is perfect and there is nothing wrong with it, ever.

Sight system - Recent issue was not Seeing your opponent, eventhough even a blind wombat 10km away could SEE it.
They fixed it by pretty much destroying any form of "Stealth" your tank had left. And as a Tank Destroyer(Sniper of WoT) that is seriously bad news. Plus the fact that low level tanks lack any form of armor and are basically Self Propelled Guns. (Artillery)
The diffrence is ofcourse that the TD will later on have frontal armor and its shells penetrate, instead of explode like a grenade with a mini-nuke packed inside.

Now for the SPG, there use to be tracers to tell where the SPG was... guess what?
IT WAS REMOVED, or maybe some bug, doesnt really matter.
Now, you got NO WAY telling where the shot came from. "Why not follow the red indicator?"
Because my dear friend, the shells of the SPG got a AOE(Area of Effect) blast, which makes it impossible to tell if the shot actually came that way, or did it land next to you and cause the indicator to go trigger happy.

Credits... use to be easy to get them, toss them around like they were worth nothing. Now you'll end up GRINDING a frikking low level tank for the next week eventhough you have researced all possible modules(Parts) for it. I am STILL stuck in a Pz38(t), mostly because i cannot force myself to fight in such a poor tank. (Gun is good, fast even... armor is lacklustre and the tank itself performs poorly.. why? Because it is a GERMAN tank. So we must make it as useless as possible!)

It also seems the historical facts passed by the Patriot Russian developers, who refuse to belive Germans were Technologically superior and had better QUALITY armor. Afterall, we all know the T-34 Medium tank was not made by the Chinese... right? Right? (I am joking, ofcourse, i mean it was something built in quanity and was like something MADE IN CHINA).

Then come... the US tanks. Historically they were horrific and made grown men cry as they had to drive them into combat, and so it is in this game. Finally the Russians did something right and did not force they're patriotism onto others.

US got some nifty firepower yes, but the tanks are bulky, perform poorly and are a firehazard.
The strongest AT with the Strongest Frontal i belive, belongs to the US. And even that's frontal armor is like paper thin or something, i am not sure, but it sure as hell does not perform as expected. They lack any originality in most tanks, being either Sherman or the T29,30,32 and 34. (T30 being the tier 10) But that is also, historically correct. Afterall they were all made at the same time to see which of them is the best.

Premium tanks, they use to be the Joke of the game, meant to build up money. Well guess who builds up money on them now? The Russians, by putting a 7500 gold price tag on them, or is it 12500? Even better.

The tanks are ofcourse, Cool, to play. But for that price? Its like the stupid 90 Dollar deal on a single stupid and not to mention HIDEOUS tank and 25000 gold.


All in all...
Graphics: 7.5/10 It tends to lag even when you are flying past the requirements. (I am prepared to see fanboys calling my computer outdated or what nonsense, we are all not as poor as you okay?)


Gameplay: 4/10 It is AMAZINGLY repetitive, rewards do not amount up to the amount of time, your life to be exact, you waste on these 15 minute matches. As your tank can be blown up by the raise of the eyebrow and that is pretty much nearing the end of the game and your reward is below 100 experiance.100/49000 to go! I am so close I can almost taste the tank! (Oh but wait, you also need to buy the modules with experiance before they can be placed on the tank! So 120,000 experiance though i might be exaggerating again.)


Sounds: 10/10, I must say I love the cannon sounds and other effects overall.


Be prepared for Bugs, unfair matchup, being unable to buy the next tank you worked hard for and were TOTALLY ready to get, but turns out it's price is way outta your reach. (Sometimes 2-5x your previous tank price.)
Horrific players. (No fix on any game for that, so far.)
Spending half your life for a tank that will look almost exactly the same as the previous, probably going 2km/h faster or even worse, slower.
Armor holds no real value, a Tier 5 Medium tank can penetrate the turret armor. (usualy the hardest part on a heavy tank) Of a King Tiger. (Oh, that is also a German tank, coincidence?)


Also those who said "Perfect simulator out there" are you stupid? This is a arcade game, they even themselves said this was NOT a tank combat simulator, hence the lack of balance and fair gameplay.


Also to comfort you, they plan on making Tier 10 SPG(Artillery) as if the current ones were not too powerful. (A Tier 10 tank, bent of tanking punches, loses 41% health from a ... Uhhh.. The tiger tank SPG, only things not nerfed are the German SPGs, which were lacklustre in WW2, btw.)


All in all, again. God i suck at this. My point being, you will enjoy the game for awhile... just prepare to be disappointed when the "Super Tank" you thought you got, is utterly annahilated by the blink of an eye. Along with the outragous repair bills. (You will not be able to pay for ammunition aswell as a repair even if you gunned down 4 enemies and won the battle. Or did they fix that "Tiny" bug?)

I have to agree with Nosferat. The game development is amateur at best, graphics are on the weak side and the match making has to be the worst I've ever seen. It's an ok game for free, I wouldn't dream of paying for this game. Sorry if your a paying subscriber, but I think you have been screwed. I'll admit it was fun at first, but after 3 weeks of playing this game. I've had my fill. For me, it was something to do until BF3 comes out.

well,
Rack your brain! All your arguments and the biassed criticism approaches to all MMO! Really, such quantity constant hardcore players not in each game you will meet, I don't speak about usual players who plays some times in a week. Personally I don't pay in general for games, at us children, schoolboys pay only.

Hah.. Yes, I now too will send 4 mbytes of REFERENCES to you on a heap of articles and the literature, proving my point of view. And that after an exit of "tanks" at many games online you anywhere has considerably fallen you will not read, because don't write at you! Check _ Google knows to whom disturb wargaming.net. I play because, I love tanks and I refer to them long time ago, and my grandfather was at war on those tanks ). I work in aviation centre, our employees advised developers by mail. To me project WoT, to which ONLY 1 YEAR also is interesting to those!!! Also I do not want you to surprise and pull down your world, but everything, all mmo projects have donate service and everywhere people pay!!! And in China, in ****** England, and ****** the Netherlands kingdom,ur ***** countre even Jews and those pay! All countries who for two weeks has lost the great Second World War. Simply ridiculously! )



PS actually I also used the translator. Simply there are no punctuation marks!:D

Keep well!

A good game, but I would not advise anyone in paying to play. Keep an eye out for this one in the future, for now it is an open beta filled with bugs, failed matchmaking system and loads of other balance issues.

You can't take the game seriously or try to play it at a competitive level, the developers aren't serious about the game and the development and bugfixing is too slow. It will take many months, maybe even a few years before this game will be playable without the constant frustrations and problems it has now.

Definitely one of the best current MMORTS games available. Large assortment of real-world tanks and many more to come. Something I personally love about this game is that it is really bringing back the whole team-elimination game play that was once the most popular and has since nearly died out thanks to high-speed casual gaming impatience. Because of this it requires true strategy rather than randomly charging into battle and getting yourself killed. Teamwork is the key here and that makes it that much more interesting, fun, interactive, and enthralling to the more serious gaming crowd, at least, and of course to military / tank enthusiasts. Though considering games I believe only last 15 minutes at the most, it is still very suitable for the casual gamer while retaining it's strategy and seriousness. Great game! Go play it!
