I will play around with this soon, the DLC's still seem expensive... I wonder how much of a grind this game is? I know World of Tanks it takes forever to get a tier 10 tank without paying money 🙂

Looks like they maybe in trouble https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/10/19/dreadnought-studio-six-foot-layoffs/ not good if they were expecting to make money from selling content.

Oh that is definitely a blow to the developer. I have always disliked multiplayer only games because they have a limited life span because people have short attention spans. Its hard to create a game like a World of Tanks that brings people back and just grows. Content and progression is key for multiplayer only games in my opinion. In WOT I can pretty much get any tank in the game and I can level my crew to max all without spending a penny.... But it is a serious but fun grind, I have yet to play this game and maybe I will give it a shot next weekend.

The game looks amazing, but I think they hurt themselves without a huge marketing push. F2P games need marketing to bring in users and of course the gameplay needs to be solid.

Nice little review for the steam version:
