Actually none of the choices are strange or unrealistic all have a bases in history and are used to flesh out nations tech trees that would be very limited, this is also what makes the game stand out from other tank sim as it doesnt just focus on the main tanks ie panther, tiger, sherman, t34 it allows players to experience and see tanks they wouldnt normally know of,
This adds a richness to the game that others lack.
As to the maps you cant comment on the lack of maps as they have alot to develop and there already quite a few now and any bigger it would make the games last longer, maybe later on when the game is further down the line they will add much larger maps but for now there fine. Look at battlefield bad company first then try and complain.
All WOT needs to do now is sort things like match-making in my opinion sloped armour, mainly on german tanks and balance russian tanks far more so there not op.
over all the game is great theres alot of potential and i hope they fully exploit that potential
