Community Insight:
Changing our rating to 4 star from 1. The Brit was removed as U.S.A. Chat moderator. As she should have been! Nice the developers listen to concerns about agenda drive. Chat moderators.
Won't stay locked on target when in a tight circle fight. In the last minute, won't allow directional control of tank, only turret. Deleted app.
PLEASE add the mini gun on the tank fire. PLEASE stop making people pay for good tanks. Good game overall through.
Im just gonna keep this short, the gun should not move up and down by itself.
We really enjoy playing but, for us, the game is pretty hard. Probably the longest Ive lasted in a game is 120-200 seconds.
Good game but the target lock on the tanks is the worst thing we even seen – bords are to small and. Could add a fue spots you can hide in and or behind.
No way to recover password replace password if logged out you will never be allowed back here to the login process the game will claim your login password is wrong.
USA chat moderators struggle to enforce the rules in unbiased manner.
Pay to move ahead faster than the competition, with endless grind, constant pressure to spend $$ and in-game competitors who have paid for more powerful tanks, whether it is a VIP tank, spec increasing camo, or in-game buffs that increase the power of your gun, its firing rate, and the speed of your tank, all based on $$ gold purchases. Caveat, some gold is earned in game, but its not nearly enough to buy the advantage some players will rely on. The result is you will face vastly over-powered competition against players who want to buy their victories. That said, Ive sampled many iOS tank games and cant say this is any worse than the average iOS tank game based on the gold purchase standard. If youve played any desktop tank games, or Halo, plan on being disappointed in these games . The good news is you can sample this game fore free.
We love the game and play almost daily. We do think that it needs more rooms like the Industrial Zone. We also think the sound effect when firing the gun needs to be changed. It sounds way too much like a hand gun and not a tank.
The Game is pretty fun but has a lot to be desired. The Maps are very limited and not many of them. After playing the game for a while and enjoying it we decided to make a big upgrade investment in our tank and bought a tank for $49.99. As we eagerly started to use our new tank we instantly found out that it moved so slow that it literally barely moved at all and we were constantly getting killed by everybody on the battlefield. After weeks of building the speed to level up to level 13 it now still barely moves fast enough to have a tiny bit of maneuverability. Of course if we spent a whole bunch more money then we can speed up the process but at $50 already invested in a tank that is basically useless we do not think we'll be spending anymore money on this game. We also contacted support and asked them to either let us swap for a different tank or to refund our money and they told us NO! The game is carefully designed to part you with your money so be very careful what you purchase because what you think you're getting and what you're actually getting can be quite a shock.
We really liked the game at first now whenever a tank shoots it hits us even if it wasnt even close could you try to fix it.
Very fun and entertaining great stress reliever.
We're almost 60 and our 1st computer game was on a commodore 64, using 128k for whole game. Have played other simulation games and problem with most is you have too much going on at once. This is a simple simulation game easy to get around, easy to play. Very user friendly. Downside is if you want to, really compete, you need to spend $. It's not a big cost and we understand developers need to get paid. You can still be competitive but you have to play a lot of games. Would give 5 stars but we have never given 5. They have made the perfect app yet.lol.
When this game came out, we were using iphones with the thumb button. They were not full to the edge screens back then. The placement of the controls were placed adequately. But now with edge to edge screens, the controls are located all the way to the edge. One cannot securely hold the phone while playing because ones fingers are now necessarily on the very edge. Manipulating the controls suffer. And with only finger tip grip on the phone, its very very easy to drop now. Move the controls in about a half inch.
We love this game so much but if Can pls add the Churchill mk 3 we cant fine it.
This is the best tank we have ever played.
We love this game but we recently downloaded IOS 14.1 and can no longer open the game. Is the developer aware of this problem.
We play this game every day , fast paced action game , favorite tank game.
We lost our account and they did there best to get it back. Now Im back on the game with our account. They are very hard working and kind. The game is very fun but it needs a change imo, we think gold in a country-example:USA Gold 1st:100, 2nd:50, 3rd:25, 4-10th:15. The gold in the leaderboard is somewhat pathetic. The tanks are pretty realistic. If you want to play a tank game we suggest play this one.
It is literally just as good as world of tanks.
Fun to play! For a modest investment in gold or silver (under $20) you can quickly become competitive from a hardware and game buff perspective. Team events are the most fun if you can pair up and double team even the strongest opfor.
So fun!cant stop playing it! You people out must get this! Over all, Im a huge army/war/tank/history dude and this game is so much fun and we play it all day long.
We want there to be a new tank can you ad the mouse it is a German tank please ad it.
Great game….really the team play.
We played this game for hours. Win some , loose some, but always entertaining.
This is the most enjoyable game we have played in along time.
We will play this every single day we just wanna keep playing this game.
Great tank game. The movement on it is a bit more realistic and takes getting used to but its not hard.
If you actually want to PLAY a game then this is not the app for you.
When grand tanks was first released, the developers did a better than average job with the look, feel, up grahics, and overall attention to detail. We used to play this game every day, despite the large fees they charge for updating a tank. But sadly, this is where it all stops. The developers are charging a LOT of money to update your tank, let alone the huge amount they charge for the purchase of a new one. This cost o only alienates most players, and completely locks out other gamers who would otherwise play this great game. Moreover, since the last few updates, the graphics have taken on a much harder look about them. Also, the graphic splash pages no longer fit the form factor of our new iPad Pro .. They are squished to the right. This oversight could easily be fixed, but its been missed in the last three updates, with the focus on putting up that ridiculous banner ad. Additionally, the developers have just implemented a new ad, and set up the UI so that its impossible to circumvent or get around!! This is absolutely inexcusable! We have spent an easy $1000 or more on this game in the past year. We will not be spending any more of our money until this developer comes down to earth and gets a reality check.The last big problem is now you cannot buy anything as the purchase button is broken.
No instructions on how to use land mines or med kits.
Its really good,you got close range, alll mobile players so were alll even, good tanks!, we just think you should add a free panzer.
All is good – we notice a few strange things that go on while playing. All in all its a cool game however needs some tech work.
And all the challenge AHave lots of fun ever.
As other reviewers have stated, game gets boring after so many hours and only 20 gold gained. We have killed dozens of tanks to no avail.
So far great game, Good graphics Easily customizable controls we Do like it.
Not bad we have fun playing it,we had a problem awhile back lost some money and upgraded tanks do to a game update. Contacted app support and a couple of days problem fixed and got all that was lost. Im still playing.
We play this game several times a day. Our name is Ken and we are an addict and you will be too if you play this game. The graphics are great and the competition is outstanding. Try it, if you dare! We did.
Can enjoy for free, spend a small amount and have even more fun. Reasonable pricing to speed up advance.
Fun but watch out do not spend any money but it still fun.
The graphic of the game is lacking, and the game server continues to loose signal.
Very good game, starts you out right out of the start. No slow tanks that are found in other games. Grand Tanks is free to play with in apps help. Try it youll fall in love with it.
Easy to play. Lots of time killing fun! The obvious land mines for the customer are the spend money traps offered to you for faster advancement! Slow advancement is frustrating. So, even a basic understanding of human nature, allows them to tap into your competitive need to win. They offer convenient purchase of virtual funds which encourages you to spend your real cash to jump ahead in the game. Bigger tanks, more accessories, faster loading, more powerful ammunition all cost a ton of virtual gold and coins. Its an interesting business model. Sort of like Vegas.
Great game , team and Free for All . We love destroying the parked cars.
We have played a few games that have caught our attention and this so far has been our favorite. Another one we like but its so bad in its accounting in all areas that Im about to leave. This game has been straight so far and the graphics have improved a lot. We will be here for a while.
Mighty impressed with this game! Graphics are great, clarity is good. Not much to do while upgrading or waiting to refuel. (only obvious bummer in any game) Chat community is pretty helpful with questions. Controls are good. Not a kiddie game, there are some heavy hitters out there in free for all or team battle.
Upgraded phone and cant seem to link to our old profile. Cant find any options for help on the subject either. Help.
Have played about 30 or so tank games and this is one of the best,across the board.
Our dad is retired and started playing this game. Im a huge gamer and we wouldnt normally play an easy game like this but we have fun. We do wish there was an easier way to play as a team. Its fun to connect with gaming and we have fun doing it. Its nothing special. Please make a server in the US.
