World of Tanks Blitz Reviews 

The game is rigged. This is the single most important fact to understand. I will explain some of the ways the game is rigged below but you have to understand the motivations of WG - to make money. Pure and simple. They have no interest in a game that requires skill. They need bad players to carry on playing and not to give up and that is why they rig the game. Another reason is that long winning streaks and long losing streaks are bound to encourage you to continue for longer. If you are winning, you are feeling enjoying it so much you will continue. If you are losing, you will be frustrated but likely continue to 'turn it around'. What is not good for them is a 60% player winning 6 out of 10 games. In that event after 10 games he/she will likely stop. Now I will explain how they rig it and by the way if you google these items you will find statistical investigations of each of them - Yes they have been verified whatever WG say:

1. Matchmaking (MM) - several ways this is rigged (i) being made lower tier so you have less chance (you will be fodder for higher tier tanks) to influence the result. I know one good player who recorded whether he was lower or upper tier over 2000 games (a very large sample set) and found he was lower tier 65% of the time. The game was rigged against him (ii) the average WR of the tanks in your team vs the competitor team - again the algorithm works to rig the result. In one analysis on youtube a 65% player found his team's average WR was 50% (including his own) vs 52% for the opposition over 600 games. Again this is statistically significant and not chance (iii) type of tank -they introduced all these fantasy tanks like smasher to kill you in one go.
2. In Game Dynmaics (i) ghost shots -these are shots that vanish - I sent a video in and they confirmed they exist but they don't do anything about them. I suspect this is because this is part of the rig effort (ii) RNG - random number generator which is supposed to represent the random element as to where a shell goes/bounces or hits tracks - you will find on some days that literally most shots hit tracks or miss and other days where the opposite occurs (this one is harder to prove but trust me it is there and the 40% player opposite will penetrate your tank every time).
3. AI bots - WG refused to deny they used these to provide more players but basically they would be another way to rig the result.
4. Cheats - widely known about and strictly speaking not a WG issue but they cover it up.

Total stupid game full of bots, mongols, haters and racists!!!!

Do not spend money in this scam game you will always find tanks stronger than yours and you will lose every game even if you are good players and you commit, bad game.

Unbalanced game with tanks in battle of different level and stealing where 9 times out of ten you are destined to lose, the premium tanks are weaker than the standard ones it is not worth spending money on this game that instead of relaxing makes you nervous because it is developed very badly, bad judgment.

It's not a game. It's an active fraud, all monies go to Russian pedophile ring. Please sign the petition to have these fraudsters and sex pests brought before the law. Save the children!!!!!

This game is trash don’t play it, it’s designed so creators of the game can get your money because what ever tank you buy a tank of lesser grade can destroy your tank you upgrade to a higher level tank and a lower level tank can still destroy your tank.

The game is not evenly matched there is many glitches and bugs, it’s a total waste of a persons time I played for 4 hours never won a game

If you're considering whether or not to give WoT Blitz a try, consider this. You can try it at a basic level without spending out, but, this 'game' is a business and unless it earns money it wouldn't be there.

There are 10 levels (tiers), and the tanks get bigger and more expensive to operate as you move up. You don't have to move up, but you'll find lots of 'encouragement' to do so. There are various reward and wealth systems involving 'credits' and several different types of 'stars' aka 'XP', and there's 'gold' which pretty much can get anything. You can hasten advancement by buying 'gold' or 'bundles' or 'offers' for real money paid through your Microsoft account. Might be 99p or one I saw was over £80 - there may be more expensive ones?

WoT Blitz appears to be WoT lite for play on mobile devices, though can be played on real computers (Win 10). There's no single player games against the program, instead it's live 7 vs 7 so it's different every time. Of course, you get good players and not good players.

Here you hit the first snag. To produce a fair game you need to match-up players fairly. This they insist they do. However, you can find yourself in teams that lose 7-0 seven times in a row - or more! If you used a random system like pulling names from a hat, you wouldn't get that outcome. More chance of getting hit by a satellite ;)

In gameplay abnormal things happen. You're stationary and have targeted another stationary tank, absolutely dead on, yet your shot misses??? You hit a tank 5 times, confirmed, in a positive vulnerable area, and it's damage indicator barely moves??? Your tank needs at least 4 good hits before it explodes, yet, with no damage, you take one hit from a pretty regular tank, and you're done???

It becomes understandable if there is an algorithm involved. Say one like "Dynamic battle session matchmaking in a multiplayer game." Co-invented and patented by......Victor Kislyi of Wargaming Net :o

For me the game is a casual pastime. I have no ambition to be top of anything and no interest in the various side games or tournaments. I'm very happy in the lower tiers as I much prefer faster games with more hits needed than the lumbering monsters delivering one big booooooom and game over in the upper tiers. I'm quite happy to donate a few quid now and then to support my enjoyment. I don't mind if I lose more games than I win if I happy with my play.

What I will not tolerate are the juveniles, inebriated or otherwise, WoT has with the ability to falsify pointless reprimands because it gives them a laugh and because they can. And, equally the appalling WoT policy attitude towards customers.

I'm gone, so that's another income stream you've lost.
