This is a freemium game that’s free to play, but to gain access to exclusive tanks and items, players have to spend real money to buy in-game gold. The price of gold ranges from $5 for 850 to $100 for 25,000. Silver currency and experience points are freely earned in battles and can be used to purchase additional tanks, consumables, and various upgrades.
From Babel UA: "With the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, sanctions against the aggressor also affected the video game industry. The largest game publishers — Ubisoft, EA Games, Rockstar — have limited sales of their products in Russia and Belarus. And Steam, GOG and Epic Games stores have stopped accepting payments in rubles. But Russian players have already learned to circumvent the bans of publishers and shops — there are many instructions about how to do this on the Internet. The situation with the game developers of the aggressor countries is even more complicated. Many of them are not officially Russian or Belarusian, but have long opened offices in Europe and work from Britain, Hungary, and other countries. Russian developers usually donʼt comment on Russiaʼs aggression against Ukraine, continue to cooperate with Western companies and sell their games to Western players. Babel tells about the games Escape from Tarkov, World of Tanks, and War Thunder, which are popular in Europe and the United States, and about the behavior of their developers, who deliberately do not publicly state their position on the war or order advertising from outspoken supporters of the Putin regime."
This is an interesting update to the game. World of Tanks is more than just pure steel and firepower; it’s about tactics and strategy, and the latest event takes this up a gear! Players can master the Art of Strategy from today until early May.
WAR IS FOREVER! World of Tanks welcomes G.I. Joe & Cobra onto the battlefield. FIGHT TO SAVE THE DAY!
If I was into tanks, I'd play this one.
I'm not into tanks but still found it fun :)
This and Warframe are the best F2P games on the PS4 imo. I'd say Warframe gets the nod though.
I've been playing World of Tanks on the PC for about 4 years now, I tried the PS4 version and it does the game well as far as porting things over. The aiming feels a little weird for me on consoles since I am so used to playing on the PC with a mouse, but graphically consoles are actually a little bit ahead in terms of maps/weather effects.
If anyone picks WoT up I have a ton of guides for learning about tanks, weak spots, maps, and a lot more over on http://wotguru.com/
