Historical review below line.

11/8/23
Gaijin have taken steps to correct community-raised issues. It's not groundbreaking or revolutionary, but it's better than it was and has a roadmap to keep improving. The reviews worked, and we will mobilise against anti-player ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if the future requires. But as it stands, I can no longer not recommend the product. It's not perfect, but it's playable.

----------------------------------------

It's a good game. However, the devs are absolutely out of touch with the playerbase and border on predatory. Recently, they attempted to implement a MASSIVE slowdown to progression (in forcing you to research more identical vehicles to progress) as well as nuking ingame currency gaining speed. When called out, the dev reaction was to backtrack and explain how free to play games work like we're 5 year olds. We know how free to play / freemium models work. They had the audacity to call the current progression rate 'reasonable' for non-premium account/vehicle users. They finished this explanation by telling us not to review bomb the game on steam but use the forums or reddit to interact with the devs. The devs ignore anything that's not support of the status quo and forum staff believe that 'weeb' is a racial slur on the same level as the N word. I left a thread there saying I believed that StuGs should always be at least .3 BR below the 'equivilent' Pz IV (shorty stug .3 below the IV F1, longnose StuG .3 below the IV F2) due to not having a turret and not really being that short with no mobility difference. That thread got deleted without engagement by the forum staff.

So yeah, gaijin, we'll review the game according to our experiences. You've got yourself to fault for mostly negative. I'll change this if you change your predatory practices.
