      Really surprised Wargaming has pulled off the most profitable (per user) arena MMO using only cash for silver methods and not resorting to pay to win anything.

      Practically anything they've sold for gold is hamstrung in some way so that it is balanced or worse.

          Artillery is really quite weak on live PC patch. So much so that it brought forth all the tank destroyers and now they are the big issue on live patch.

              Well, it's inaccurate, when it does hit, it's a coin flip to whether it will do significant damage, the load times are longer, the splash damage is wider, but does less damage overall.

              There are a few standouts in artillery left, but usually they are fast fire or incredibly high arcing guns with long delivery times.
