I agree with almost everything you said and I now do realise that there does have to be somewhat something of a pay to win. About the other things you mentioned I tried to get most of them into the review (and apparently failed horribly XD). Steam decided it didn't want to live so it died when I was typing the review and everything got deleted (I was pissed). That's probably why I didn't really got the info "on paper" that I wanted to.

thx for the comment appreciate it!

i somewhat agree (and also disagree ^^)

there is only grind 'if you make it' - what i mean basically is that it's the choice of the player whether his goal is only progression in the vehicle trees (and thus grind) or just to play the game (thus having fun) and unlock new vehicles occasionally (as a bonus ^^)

i personally have never seen / felt grind.

pay 2 win ?
there are some p2w elements in WT but i dont mind them too much because
a) there just HAS to be some sort of p2w in f2p games (imho) otherwise there would not be any incentive to pay at all (thus the game would die sooner or later)
b) it's not hardcore p2w (like you kinda said as well) - it's still very well possible for f2p players to do good against paying players.

there are certain p2w elements that can be somewhat annoying (eg bushes or certain captured vehicles) in some game modes but hey - life isn't always fair either, eh ? ^^
people just need to deal with it 8D
