pay 2 win?

[Hugosson]

is this game pay to win?

[neldot]

Opinions are perfectly split. This should be a poll (if Steam would allow them) instead of a question.

I had a lot of fun before ever putting money on the game

The honest answer, unlike some of what these trolls are telling you, is that as long as you stick to tier 4 and below, and avoid certain tanks, you can still advance your crew and keep pace with repairs.. Unfortunately at T5 and above you can run into vehicles that will quickly bankrupt you unless youre running premium time.

As for the vehicles that you can only get through paying, most of them dont offer a significant advantage on ground forces, sometimes its just a different style of play.....Ships and Planes can be very P2W though. Fortunately, theres plenty of free ground AA that can deal with almost everything once you get radar guided AA. Just avoid ships, because its terrible and super P2W(currently ships are a mess in multiple ways)

It's a rigged game complete with algoritms which decide which party is gonna win or lose so one match is gonna give you 12 kills or so and the next one you can't even make a scratch.

It's a "Pay to easy grind".

But definitively not a "Pay to win".

I'm a "free customer" of that game, I spend 0 buck & I eat each day "premium players".

As someone who has played more with Premium time than without, I can correct that statement to:

It's "pay to make the grind less painful."

Sure, Rank 1&2 go by pretty quick, but things still slow down a bit in 3 and by 4 you are starting to wonder just how much more it will slow down before you reach the top, especially in ground and considering you are paying money to avoid excessive grinding.

I believe there is some truth to this. I have seen matches where there was nothing left to destroy on my side. The other team had only scratched our bases. I killed three planes in a row and the bar didn't even move. Then finally when the other team was out of planes the game reluctantly gave us the win.

Kinda off topic, but I think it is dictated by daily tasks. If the task is to win, the odds for winning go way down. I have a 54% win rate, but lost 9 matches in a row the other day trying to get a simple daily task done. All I had to do was win 2 matches and it took all GD day.

There isn't, but it is amusing to think people actually believe it.

Yup you can pay for a bunch of advantages such as:
Extra crew slots
Max crew skills
Ace
Modules that would otherwise take you weeks or months to get. This is only an issue at rank iv and up tho, and not so much on rank iv... but agter that, p2w for sure.
Helicopters, for the ground players



Im good with the crew slots, crew skills &-ace tho. Paying to have everything maxed at once isnt more fun.

[Futuristic Hexagon]

Not as much as some claim, it's more like pay to progress faster.

There had been some premiums that had been accused of being blatant P2W, but those get balanced out at some point.
