The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the aggressive and frequent ads, as well as the high prices of in-app purchases, which some describe as cash grabs. While some users appreciate the option to earn gold through watching ads, they express frustration over the limited rewards and technical issues that prevent them from receiving their earned gold.

- “Wargaming for 7 years has done nothing year after year to fix anything but implement cash grabs with overpriced tanks, rigged matches, clearly showing just how greedy they are and care nothing about the actual gameplay.”

The grinding aspect of the game is widely acknowledged as both a significant challenge and a source of frustration for players, particularly at higher tiers where progress slows considerably.

Overall, players recommend patience and strategic play, but express a desire for adjustments to make grinding more accessible, especially for free-to-play users.
- “The game, after the first 3 tiers, becomes exceedingly grindy, to the point that I gave up trying to be able to get a tier 5 vehicle.”
- “Grinding high tier tanks is quite literally torture though.”
- “Once you reach tier 6 and above, you'll start earning less and less credits, turning grinding into a chore instead of being fun.”

Issues such as unresponsive controls, "ghost rounds," and long loading times have significantly impacted the overall experience, leading to frustration among players. While some users have noted improvements on certain devices, the prevalence of bugs and connectivity problems remains a major concern for the community.
- “My device is too slow for some games, but runs great with this one.”
- “Smooth, optimized, runs great and very fun plus tons of content and tanks to work your way up, playing on a Samsung Galaxy J7 2018 with 1.5 GB of RAM and no lag or any issues whatsoever.”
- “I used to play COD Mobile and that took a lot of storage and lagged a lot, but WOT runs great (for the most part) although it does take a large amount of storage; it is worth it.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and narrative, with many players expressing a desire for a dedicated story mode or historical missions to enhance the gameplay experience. While some enjoy the mission-based structure, they feel it often leads to repetitive tasks without a compelling storyline, making the game feel monotonous over time. Overall, players believe that incorporating a richer narrative could significantly improve engagement and enjoyment.
- “The game is great with new modes and missions, but the Asian server has some issues including high loss and pings even though I have good WiFi. If you can fix this issue, I can give a 5-star again.”
- “One thing Wargaming should add to this game though is a story mode. I think that a story mode would make the game more fun and it would give people a way to gain more money and experience.”
- “I like how the console version has historical missions but the mobile one doesn't. It would be really nice to actually add historical missions to the game, but otherwise, the game is really fun.”
- “Every mission is the same, just different scenery.”
- “I really enjoy this game so much but it's unfortunate that it doesn't have a story in the game and there's no in-game voice chat, which makes it harder to communicate while playing.”
- “I give this game only one star; please increase the texture, it looks like an old game. Improve its graphics, add campaigns like the Battle of Berlin, the African campaign, and please you can also add a story mode in it. The last tiger story would make this game famous, and please improve this game because when I play it, I feel bored.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its smooth performance on low-end devices and good graphics, while others report significant connectivity issues, lag, and unresponsive controls.

Despite these concerns, some players find the game enjoyable and well-optimized for their devices, indicating that experiences may vary widely based on individual setups.
- “The optimization has been improved very well, especially for those who could only afford budget phones like me, as I could easily hit 60 fps in a custom setting with both anisotropic filter and anti-aliasing on 2x, and some other settings running on high.”
- “World of Tanks Blitz is easily one of the best games on mobile when it comes to graphics and performance.”
- “The game runs really smoothly and is very enjoyable (when you don't get destroyed by a sniper, that is) and you can also play it on low-performance PCs or laptops, which is good when you have a bad computer and want to play WoT.”
- “Servers are terrible and have connectivity issues, which wouldn't be the worst if the game didn't actively punish you for bad battle performance.”
- “The playability (performance) alone is subpar resulting in countless consecutive losses, trash talking online players, buffering delays, and regret for spending my money on a game I can't even play anymore.”
- “Terrible optimization on Realme 6 Pro, now entering a battle takes around a whole minute, and by the time you're in, you're already dead.”

Overall, while the soundtrack is appreciated by some, the absence of in-battle music and technical issues related to sound have led to dissatisfaction among others.

- “I love this game, awesome combat, lovely details, and music when the battle begins.”
- “Great gameplay, not too much pay-to-win, but the sound is so bad that I thought it was AI-generated. I would rather listen to Jake Paul music for an hour than hear those cringey WOTB sounds.”
- “I only have one tiny problem: there's no music while in battle, which would make it more intense and exciting, just like in the PC version of WOT.”
- “I have a question about the in-game sounds. While I'm playing, there are no sounds, just silence, but when I'm in the menu, the music plays normally.”

Overall, players find the game highly replayable, with many returning to enjoy the gameplay and tank mechanics. However, there are concerns regarding recent changes that some believe have negatively impacted the experience, particularly for lower-tier players. Despite these criticisms, the game's core appeal remains strong, contributing to its replay value.
- “Outstanding across the board, in terms of gameplay and replayability.”
- “Love the game, love the tanks and I love how you're trying to improve it for new players.”
- “So that game can be more playable than these already known maps.”
- “Love the game, love the tanks, and I love how you're trying to improve it for new players, but many people think you guys are doing it wrong, such as the nerfing of the lower tiers/removing. I think you shouldn't have done anything with the tanks; they were fine until 5.5. If you're going to make the game more playable for the lower tiers, do it to the collectible as well, that's why you made them that way. There is a lot more that could be fixed, but I'll let you decide what you want to do.”

The game's graphics contribute positively to the overall atmosphere, though some elements, like tank firing and environmental effects, could use improvement. Playing with friends in a platoon enhances the experience, but the presence of toxic players significantly detracts from the enjoyment.

- “Make the atmosphere of playing with friends more fun with the platoon provided for 3 people.”
