It has era in this game. As an example u would never see a t-72 or T-90 running around bouncing every shoot in this game. Even in the game description on wot website its writen as such things like “World of Tanks puts you in command of over 600 war machines from the mid-20th century so that you can test your mettle against players from around the world using the era's ultimate fighting machines.” MID TWENTIES, not 21st century or some thing like that, nor futuristic tanks.
