This game was really great one time, but this is what killed it. The game had some balancing issues and reward issues for the most part but it could have easily been fixed. But! Instead! The all famed developers, you know the one that killed the other perfectly good game with their incompentence decided to after 1.41V to completely kill ground forces combat. First they started penalizing anyone who bought extra vehicle slots by limiting the amount of respawns for a tank. It gets better, once 1.43V rolled around they completely destroyed ground combat by limiting all tank respawns to 1 then forcing you to use a max of 3 different vehicles per round in arcade mode, then if they couldn't kill the game any further for ground forces they decided to add Call of Duty type BS. In a sense they literally turned the game into World of Tanks Call of Duty edition.

Also like to let you know that everyone, including me have all went to the forums including the russians on their side of the forums and told the developers this was the most absurd idea to fixing and balancing the game. Instead they sent their paid off moderators on all of us trying to convince us that this was going to be great. After waiting for 1.43V to come out, our worst nightmares for ground combat have been confirmed. They ruined it whilst the moderators can go take a stick and shove it up their ***. Don't listen to any of their employees or moderators, they will BS you until they get your money then slap you to the street.

The only thing that is worth playing this game for at this point is the air combat of the game. Hope you enjoy the grind fest though. I can in summary say this, if they are willing to do all this to ground combat and completely ruin it then I can't imagine how low they will go for naval warfare when that comes out. Better hope the devs will keep there hands off of aircraft if you enjoy that type of thing.

Game developing companies like this seriously need to be heavily regulated and stopped from appearing on steam and anywhere else. I am sick and tired of the new gaming community trend of developers completely disregarding their customer base and acting like just because they like it doesn't mean the 90% others who disagree will.

If you want to play a game with WWII aircraft I recommend playing IL-2 1946 or any other game that isn't as BS as this one.





*Update* 10/21/2016

So after countless nerfs and doing nothing but making huge maps smaller for RB and new maps about 500 meters square total size they apparently finally "released" the game. *Which is a joke*

Anyways back on topic, this game which used to be great before RNG mechanic, the now proven spark rigged game system to not allow all your shots to count as hits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEsdvmJmfqY and 1.0 br+- spread which hilariously ends up with you being low tier all the time and spend most of your time being frustrated at the fact that your stock tank can't compete with tanks 1 br above you still gets a no recommendation from me.

Gaijin, if you want some real input which you won't listen to me anyways because of the history of not listening to anyone in any of your games then maybe you should try this.

- Remake ground RB battles where you are allowed to spawn in as many tanks as you have lined up. Change the respawn point system where it only affects the spawning of aircraft in RB instead. Then make it where sticking around till the end of the battle grants you an additional 50% boost to both research and silverlions giving people reason to stay throughout the match.

- Bring back the large maps because of previously stated RB remake.

- Remake kill assists to count as actual kills based off of points therefore giving people more of a reason to help one another instead of raging at each other from kill steals.

- Change how kills are counted from doing the last hit before destroyed or crew knocked out to whoever did the most damage instead. For example, if I hit a tank and knocked out 3 out of the 5 crew members then another player kills the 2 left I should get the kill for killing 3 out of 5 doing the most damage.

- Remove repair costs, since some nations or vehicles suffer from supreme bias based off of whatever magical fantasy equation you used to develop a cheap tactic to force people to spend GE to buy a medicore amount of SL. "1000 GE for somewhere around 1 Million SL, that's a severe low blow gaijin."

- Bring back discounted GE sales, each sale now is a mockery of what they used to be about 2 years ago. No one cares about other sales if they still have to pay a price of a AAA title game just to get it to begin with.
