I play WoT for exactly one week each year. Log-in to see if I got the yearly anniversary premium gift of 7 days. Since I only have T9-10 now, being destroyed or losing costs a shiat-ton of currency so it's not really worth playing unless you have the premium to offset the cost.

Somehow managed to grind all my German tanks to Tier 10 (Except the light, sitting at 9) without spending more than $20 on the game (more of a "thanks for making a game I spent countless hours on for free, here's a $20").

Article fails to mention a different yet far superior offering from this very same company. I was glad to see that WG moved from Belarus, and sold off their Russian holdings. I don't feel guilty at all about playing World of Warships.

T10 Nevsky (CL) and Grozovoi (DD), both of which are Soviet, are the best/most fun ships in the game imo.

--I don't really know what those ships being Soviet brings to the post, but hey, they are soviet, so why leave it out of the story?

Watching crazy authoritarians steal the playbook from American authoritarians makes me both proud and sick in equal measure.

Since World of Tanks's machines are probably inexplicably more capable of causing damage than are Belarus's, I'm OK with this.

That's like being banned from the mall by mall security.

You misspelled World of Warplanes

Yeah, I have a beta WoWS tag and a Musashi. Just started playing that account again.

Musahi: Come at me Bro!

I've played all three for years. You all suck.

I've played WoT on and off since 2011.  It always seems to scratch an itch for some reason that FPS games could not.  Glad to see it still kicking after all these years.

Looks like I'll have to log in and see how my HISS tank is doing.

I got The Undertaker piloting it.

Watching Farkers try to credit America with inventing every form of fascist political oppression always makes me facepalm. Negative exceptionalism is still self-fellating exceptionalism.

America is still one of the newer countries on the planet, and it learned most of its corruption and oppression techniques from its elders, not the other way around.
