The Good

- The soundtrack really kicks ass once you get into higher tiers. It makes me wish the lower tiers got some more epic music.
- The vehicles are very detailed and look great.
- The game is pretty well optimized and I don’t have any performance issues even on my craptop.
- Most of the newer / high tier maps are really detailed and pretty, and I’ve often gotten killed because I’m too busy staring at how cool the environments are (that’s a good thing).
- Gaijin has implemented a lot of what they promised and has actually taken steps to improve the game:
- Repair costs are no longer insane. Even if I do horrendously in a match I almost always get more SL then I spend.
- SL costs for vehicles are no longer insane for the most part. Some high tier vehicles do still feel a bit pricy though.
- A lot of maps have been improved, and its far harder to snipe across the map than before.
- There are far less “gaijin ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moments”. When I get killed now, its almost always due to me doing something dumb or another player outsmarting me in a fair way. Compared to a year ago where ~3/10 kills felt like hacky broken crap.
- Tech trees in general have been consolidated and there is a lot less stuff you have to grind to get to higher tiers.

The Bad

- RP costs and earnings, while better than before, still feel really grindy for higher tier vehicles.
- Lower tiers don’t get enough new content.
- Some of the most popular and coolest vehicles are locked behind grindy in-game events or by using the market (ew).
- Case in point, the TOG II. This was a highly anticipated vehicle and they locked it behind an event where you have to grind every day for a couple days. I have a busy schedule some days, and cant play the game every day consecutively, and I’m far from the only one. The worst part is that if you missed a day, you can still get it if you pay 999 GE (for each missed day). WTF Gayjin this is very unepic and not toggers!

This game has a lot of problems, but also has a lot of really good parts. When the game is good, its amazingly good. When it faulters though, it really sucks.
