1234 hours ago I originally posted the below review at 2547 hours of play. Even now at 3781 hours it still stands. Same issues, different day. It is, however, my go to game. It's now my partners go to game too and she's at 1028 hours. Tutoring my battle buddy brought a good deal of fun back to the game along with plenty of chaos! You have to be a glutton for punishment to enjoy this game but it's worth it for the good matches.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I hate this game. I honestly do but I simply can't stop.

The underlying mechanics are what keep me coming back. The tank models and "realistic" combat are beaten by no other game. Over the years and most recent months Ground forces has taken a complete dive. Not a single match goes by without a ghost shell anymore, that's with a stable ping and no packet loss. It's infuriating. Then again, even if you do hit the shells bounce for no reason. They actually did add the protection analysis feature in the garage so that you can see if shells will pen or not. Ignore it. It is there just for show. When in a match shells will bounce when they penetrated every single time in the hangar.

The BR compression forces the most absurd tanks to face each other. Some tanks are flat out OP or completely useless. Iconic vehicles have been removed because of this.

Each new patch things are added whilst bugs of old are ignored and added to. If a competent game maker released a clone with something close to the ground forces combat I'd be gone in an instant.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AS I DID
