Nearly a year since I last waffled about WoT. I've still pottered about in game on and off but the last few weeks I've been getting more and more (back) into World of Tanks in a meaningful way. While I've left the game for long stretches, it's a good one(and easy) to hop back into. No pressure.
Luck is as much a part of WoT gameplay as skill. Both are a part and both are outside of the class of tank you might play. A light tank can run rings around a heavy inflicting a kill by a thousand cuts. A heavy will one hit from a distance etc..
A quick assessment of my tank roster indicated that I've been reaching a lot of the larger tanks; Which in turn means spending more time to grind out each with XP and currencies of one form or another. This time round I spent some quality time in a Tiger I finishing off pimping it out and unlocking the Tiger II. The Tiger II with no upgrades or additions is a massive climb down so more of a grind to make as truly viable as the Tiger I. I'm happy to stay in the Tiger I but then the XP would be going to waste(I don't spend cash on the game for currency conversion).
I took another look at the PC version of the game and was put off by how low grade it was in comparison to the Xbox version. I've so much unlocked and so many hours put in on Xbox it would be a no go to restart on the PC version. There's some crossover with play accounts(Xbox to PC) but you'd still need to 'put in the hours'.
Given the number of players with a 'monitor' icon next to their names it seems that 80% of the players are not on an Xbox platform. So cross-play is saving the game on Xbox. I presume these are mainly Playstation gamers.
So yea I've been having fun in game, good multiple kill matches, good survival matches and even good getting pwnd matches. It's a fun game. Granted I'm happier in the medium to heavy tanks but as the saying goes 'a change is as good as a rest'.
Taking a break from my 'main' grinding I hopped into one of the not so leveled up countries. The light French tank AMX40. Small and not nimble at all, I love it because of the punishment it can take. A true underdog. Rounds bouncing and ricocheting are fun to take here.
