I am now comfortable to have an opinion on this game. While having 2,000 hours recorded on steam and about 6,000 hours of total play time. I've played this game mostly from the start and seen it add and remove many things. Even after all my time played having top tier tanks, Jets, and Battleships I can say that the game has many things still to offer. The grind is real but is very manageable for a newer player thinking of starting it as well as many outlets to find the help to your questions. Some say you cant get anywhere in the game without spending money and that is just not true some premium tanks and accounts make it easier sure, but you can still have fun and become very good even with free tanks. The grind is real and worth it in my opinion I mostly play ground forces, but have played a lot of aviation and I've played some naval which just is not my thing but all modes have something new to learn and offer.
