Trash, management led by scammers, game balance is selective and is not really "random", feels like rigged to those who are paying lot of money into game. Very very bad.

Don't start to play the game.

The reasons:
1. Wargaming NEVER cared for the community. It was always about the money. It would be so easy to make the game more enjoyable again.
2. Nowadays the game is almost pure pay-to-win. It used to be relatively fair and balanced in the old days. But those are long gone.
3. Premium tanks for 40 bucks are outright better than their tech-tree counterparts.
4. The game is one ENDLESS grind. There is no real endgame apart from the world-map clan fights which are senseless. Even if you just wanna play the top tier tanks you will need to grind with your tier VIII premium tanks, if you are not a very good player.
5. For beginners it's a nightmare. You don't have a good crew and have a massive disadvantage. And you don't even realize it. As a seasoned player you have the means to upgrade your crew, but new players will suffer.
6. Match making is pure garbage, most games are over after 5 minutes now with one team winning bigly. Sometimes you have a close game where you perform well and that keeps you playing. Just like in gambling.
7. New OP tanks are introduced around Xmas, but they are only available in loot boxes (around Xmas) for a long time. So they can leech more money out of the customers.
8. If you expect to have historrically accurate tanks... forget it. You want to play with the mighty Tiger? It has no armor and gets in games with tanks from 20 years later.
9. Not being able to continue your old account on steam is the icing on the cake.

If my post here made you reconsider and you don't start playing, then I'm a happy man. Because I saved you from a lot of wasted time that you could otherwise have spent much more wisely.
I have played this game for almost 10 years until I gave up. Please don't make the same mistake.
