In World of Tanks Blitz, however, this comms system is nowhere to be seen and without it there's no way to put together any kind of group strategy, meaning winning a game is pot luck for the most part, unless you've got a team of pals to play with. In the PC and other console versions of World of Tanks, there's a quick comms system accessible by holding in a bumper button which allows you to dole out simple commands or requests to the rest of your team. Players who want to play entirely for free, though, can rest assured that premium players really haven't got any upper hand in battles which match tanks of similar levels together at all times.įurther to this, there's a problem with regards to team coordination when playing with random strangers, which we guess a lot of people will do for the most part (although you can set up and join clans). If you are tempted to jump into the premium access side of things, you'll find XP is dished out more readily you'll have easier access to the many boosters that see you gain rewards more quickly and also open up a mission structure that gives you goals to work towards as you progress up the endless tech trees for each and every tank in the game. This, of course, doesn't stop World of Tanks Blitz incessantly trying to get you to part with your real-world cash in exchange for premium access and other shiny trinkets – even with our premium account activated it still constantly reminded us of other things we could purchase – but this is all par for the course with FTP games and, to its credit, Wargaming hasn't allowed the core balance of its game to be affected as is the case in Fortnite, there's no way to effectively 'pay to win' here.

This is a hugely popular series, then, with a long and prestigious history which our very own Gavin Lane, driven almost entirely mad by his uncontrollable love of tanks, recently wrote a feature on which you can read here. Go out on the street right now and ask anyone, you won't find a single person with a bad word to muffle through their face masks about these glorious war machines.īelarusian developer Wargaming has cleverly tapped into this undeniable fact with its long-running World of Tanks series which, as of the latest official count, boasts over 160 million registered commanders and has seen around 10 million players online concurrently. If there's one thing we can all agree on during this most confusing of times on planet earth it's that everyone and their granny absolutely loves tanks.
