This game has a lot of potential (Beta, still). The developers must fix a number of things but, it is entertaining.

THe game is a good action game. If you like the WW2 era tanks, you will like the graphics and sounds. The gameplay suffers from over simplicity. Though, it seems conceived as an action shooter. The experience model needs work because it takes too long to get the advanced and strong tanks...this will keep you from damaging people and will get you one-shotted. The option is to camp behind bushes (provided you bought the camouflage net and wait until the battle is over). In battles where the balance of power is good, be prepared for excitement. You will develop tanker tactics and hopefully teamwork. In general it is a good game, but it has a lot of room for improvement. There are a few annoying things that will keep me from buying it.
1. The matchmaking sucks. If you have a low-tier tank, be prepared to play alone facing impossible odds. You will be faced with opponents you cannot damage (several Tiers above you). Of course, you can team up with your friends, but then the matchmaking is way more flawed. I have been riding a tier 3 tank and beein in tier 10 battles because my friend has a tier 6.
2. The spotting is dumb, all you do after one of your teammates has spotted an enemy is mouse over the area where the red icon is (marking your foe) and you will see an outline of the vehicle. No kidding, red outline, through bushes or trees. Defeats the purpose of hiding when you are playing a tank destroyer.
3. Loading times are based in the damage capabilities of your gun. So when you get the big tanks, you should bring reading material to entertain you while you reload.
4. The artillery is too precise, thus not realistic at all. They get a top-down satellite view and there is no skill involved. Of course, the damage they deal is uncanny. Once another tank sees you, the artillery gets an exact fix of your position, and not only that, but a top view of what you are doing, live.

This is an overall reasonably good game that needs a lot of polishing.
