Here's a game that has become a real addiction to me, but at the same time has been a hell of a lot of fun!
I got into the game through a friend of mine who I often hang out with every Sunday and we talk about the history of weapons often, so this game really fits. Not to mention the idea of certain tanks coming up against others that they never once faced in history. Not to mention, I do love building up the tech tree, unlocking new vehicles and getting to explore the history and interesting calibres certain tanks have.
Tanks is one mode I love playing and having fun with and I have gone around and trying different modes like the planes and such, though, the most fun I had was the battleships in realistic mode. I thoroughly enjoyed calculating where I should fire next, taking note on how much closer I got to the ship I was targeting and having fun attempting to take down those ships with the sub-chaser or torpedo boats. I've made a few "David and Goliath" moments where I managed to either take down or cripple the battle ships with a tiny boat, though I have been blown up far more times too.
I also have many fun clips that I've recorded with the in-build video capture: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_xJYOkBv0G6B9TCHZtqyYFIZ4fNn3vnY&si=eZIiD1cX7fWlUsJi
I do love those funny moments you can get and even moments that make me feel really clever when I've managed to take out several tanks in one unit, but often I do get destroyed from my own hubris. So I'd certainly recommend it as it is a free game.
Now to cover the thing that can't be forgotten. the freemium economy. The game has it where you have to pay to repair your vehicles with Silver Lions, the currency used for buying upgrades and so on, which you do get at a fairly good build, however, the golden lions are the premium currency that can be used to buy your own unique vehicles, though I feel it isn't a "pay to win" as with patience, you can very easily defeat a premium player, though I never have an idea who is premium as the vehicles can be received for free from competitions and such. I still enjoy it and certainly like to dip in every now and then to blow off some steam.
