Josh at TVG writes "At first glance, World of Tanks doesn’t look or feel too dissimilar from any other online only shooter which completely lacks any semblance of a story through a non-existent campaign. So, for anyone who may have never heard of this game before (I’m supposing because of the lack of social access, media and internet beneath that rock you’ve been living under) and may have had some pipe dream of playing protagonist Captain Somebody Something-face on his harrowing adventures across Europe or the South Pacific, consider your bubble officially burst. There isn’t a story mode…Yet.
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!
It's a fun game to play, when you are in a lobby with opponents that havent jacked up their tanks with in game upgrades. The game is definitively built around the pay to win model, but as mentioned there are some lobbies where it can be quite fun!
