I have had some enjoyment but it is hard at times as it seems like WG is taking the game in the opposite direction relative to other freemium games.

What I have noticed now having several hundred games back is the use of gold rounds is everywhere. To a point slow well armored vehicles might as well be a TOG. To me it kills the general strategy in random games. Before gold rounds…well cost gold. So it was used very sparingly in random battles.

Grand battles, are kinda fun but costly as I do not know the maps…at all. It would be nice if they introduced them before teir 10, even at 8 or 9, just so you can get a little practice before getting slaughtered in a costly teir 10 vehicle.

Premium vehicles are a bit overpowered compared to before. I had a few like the T34 american, AT15 and a few lower levels. Those were imo worse than the T32 and tech tree counterparts. Now it seems like newer ones are as good or better, making it a more pay to win game. There is the super sneaky, fast TD scout, the E25. Which seems to bounce a lot of shots as well. This is just a dirty tank that makes me upset when I see it on the list.

The Bourrasque is basically a double barrel hellcat medium, which teir for teir happens to be better than a hellcat at every aspect as well. Playing a light or medium from 6-9 is really hard because of this tank, and the E25.

The equipment additions are neat but really really costly. Not only that I rarely get through a match without getting tracked, losing crew, or a fire… Which means I am using consumables at a much higher rate than before.

​

Overall it seems like WG is doing everything to get more money, and by doing so making the game more pay to win than before. Dont get me wrong a good player is a good player, even money cant fix that. But a poor good player vs a rich good player is at a disadvantage more now than before. Most freemium games are going the stock car route, and making money from additional ways. But not WOT, more money=a better/easier time.

Dont get me wrong, I am having fun. But when I get hit by a dozen gold rounds playing smart, I get a little upset and have to walk away. I am not sure how long it will last before I walk away for good again.
