Quoting: Tethys84I've heard nothing but bad things about this game. That the monetization is predatory, and that it's totally a P2W game. I see this and World of Warships get mentioned together a lot as games to avoid.

It's not as bad as some, predatory? meh, however it is hard to earn DECENT returns (lions) without premium account status. Can make certain tiers and vehicles nothing but a waste to play. (because their repair or ammo cost outstrips returns)

I would say its quite rough for NEW comers because they have gradually made it MUCH more grinding over the decade then how it was originality. I mean I basically unlocked everything up to tier5 at one point but now I would probably not be able to unlock a single tier5 unless I played 10hrs a day 7 days a week, lol
