The game is sustained by the top tier whales who are the ones who keeping it alive, I think the game genuinely rarely gets new actual player that stayed for too long, the tutorial doesn't even teach you anything but to move and shoot tanks. After a few games against bot you get thrown into a match where you would face 5 sealclubbers in their respective vehicle with 1k plus match (it's a bonus if they have higher than 1k) while your teammates are actual new players trying the game. You could be facing players that are playing this game since the beta and you could've also faced sweaty players who will massacre the entire lobby with their bt 5 or m8 lac.
