World of Tanks | Let's Play

What's New

Crews will only have 1 skill independent of the number of crews the tank has. They changed it this way because some tanks have 2 radio operators or have a gunner+reloader combo crew. Second, they added some new skills like 'Coordination', 'Practicality' and etch.

Maps like 'airport' have been remade, particularly at the center where they added a cave for the heavies to exchange blows.

An experimental feature where a random event like bombardment can appear at a certain location out from nowhere.

Review

Pros

Very Fun Gameplay. Driving through different locations was just as enjoyable as fighting tank to tank battles.
Highly Competitive.
The Best Replay System. It can produce a single 2-7mb replay file that is easy to share.
High Player Population. Even after so many years, the game is still coveted by players.
Low System Requirements. Also offers HD options for high-end systems.

Cons

Insufficient Tank Balancing Effort. Usually when WG released a broken new tank like the BZ-176, it takes a very long time for them to release patches, more likely to be intentional to be honest.

It's not just world war 2 tanks, they added tanks from other mediums too like the Edelweiss from Senjou no Valkyria and/or the Panzer IV Ankou from Girls und Panzer. This game doesn't strive for realism unlike its rival Warthunder and it's not a bad thing. When you play a game, you play to have fun and quoting from a war veteran, "War sucks like staying at the trenches camping for 3 days and you already shat your pants twice".

Gameplay

The player will be given a choice to pick any nation of tanks they would like to invest in. Each nation has a different tech tree of tanks that are categorized into 5 segments which is the light, medium, heavy, tank destroyer and the SPG lines. Nations have a particular knack for them and the variety of playstyle is the result of different perspective and tank design decisions of each country.

The game involves players having to drive their tanks to a certain objective while being met by resistance from the opposing team. Objectives or should I say game modes are avaliable in both random battles and rank. Game modes like 'assault' wherein the attacking team tries to secure the defending team's camp before the time runs out. The other one is 'capture' is where both teams will try to secure each other's camp and etch. There are also events with different gameplay mechanics like frontline which is a bigger version of assault wherein a 30 attacking players will try to secure camps and destroy the enemy teams bunker artilleries from the defending 30 player team.
