Before you play
Things to consider
Active player population has declined significantly since launch; many matches on lower-population servers are filled out with bots.
Development and content updates have slowed compared to Wargaming's more actively supported titles.
As a PvP-only title, players looking for solo PvE content will find little to do outside of training/tutorial modes.
