Before you check out this game for PC, you should look for the origninal WOT. WOT Blitz is PC-WOT for poor people with potato PCs. It has worse physics and netcode. However, there are a few things that are better in Blitz. Battles are less time consuming, the 7vs7 player mode lets you have more impact on the battle as a team member. Tanks are cheaper. I just checked: An american T34 tier 8 heavy tank can be bought for 26€. In WOT PC you would have to pay 45€ or more. Fair enough, there are worlds of quality between the 2 games.
The developers of Blitz are really active. they constantly add new vehicle trees. ok most of the data appear to be converted from the original PC WOT. But it doesnt matter, if you profit from this as a Blitz player.
Like many reviewers already said, the community in Blitz is quite toxic. Well, its a young player base, I guess. It can indeed be frustrating to see how inactive some players are. They either sit in base and do nothing, or they rush towards the enemy like a headless chicken. But I also have to say that the player skill has improved in the recent months. There were times when i could reliably farm the enemy team with a 65% win rate. It has become more difficult now.
Talking about young players - I have to criticize Blitz's moral on a certain business model element. Almost every month there is a special even that will let you unlock sweet rewards. To get a tier 3 light tank, you have to do daily missions for a week. This is still a good balance. However, there are also events with a tier 8 tank as a main prize. They are good items, but they require you to spend waaaay too much time in the game and the game doesnt make it transparent enough. These events are always staged. So, players have a feeling of progression even though they are still far away from the main prize. with every stage you need to grind more. I believe that 14 year olds will be fixed by the feeling of progression. Its so easy to click on the "Battle" button and spend another 5 minutes again. Thats the risk of it.
