- Start the game from the main menu of the emulator. The WoT icon will appear on the home screen.
If the game “slows down”, works unstable, but you need to go to the settings of Ldplayer. And in the “Advanced” section, select all the cores that are available on the PC or laptop. And you can increase the amount of allocated RAM for the emulator over 3 gigabytes.

BlueStacks supports pairing with popular models of gamepads, such as Xbox One Series X. But the support is limited, some functions will still be available exclusively on the screen (in the emulator it is done with a mouse).
Tips for setting up Wot Blitz on PC
If we rely on the recommendations of players, it is most convenient to play WoT Blitz on the keyboard and mouse. In BlueStacks, ready-made control settings are applied by default, duplicating the buttons on the virtual screen. In 99% of cases, they fully satisfy the player. But, if you want, you can change the settings in the menu by clicking on the keyboard icon.
If the game is slow, slows down, it is recommended to enable the “Maximum Performance” mode in the emulator settings in the “Performance” section.
If the user has several video cards installed, in this case the discrete one will be automatically activated.
