"I mean yes I wasted a lot of time in this and can't stop no more." (<2019 review)

Now for something useful after long ass time since writing my original review.

If you want to have fun, play with friends and never touch top tier since that is just misery and someone telling you otherwise is Gaijins clown.

Plenty of fun if you forget about the grind and play WW2/parts of the Cold War (new addition of Puma to 8.3 and such ruin Cold War tank gameplay completely every other patch thanks to Gaijins greed).

Best simish experience you can just jump in to without committing your outside time to this game, if you like going outside that is.

All in all, I do recommend this game, tho I absolutely hate Gaijin for what they are actively doing to this game with power creep, pay to win premiums and the addition of battle pass to try and make this game in to something you have to open at least every other day which it totally isn't cos rest of the mechanics discourage you from returning and doesn't reward veterans at all.
