Playing windows games on Linux using Wine :
World of Tanks : Blitz

-- EDIT 16/04/2017 --
A WOT:Blitz update added some dependencies (.net and MS visual c++), the how to section is updated to reflect this changes.
Thanks Vinicius Miguel Cesconetto for the help.

WoT : Blitz is a mobile version of world of tanks aimed at tablet and smartphones. It was eventually released on windows through steam on november 2016.

Appart from some minor changes, and smaller maps, this is essentially the same game : the player controls a single tank with activable modules.

-- How To --
1/ Install latest wine version
2 - Optional/ Initialize a new 32 bit wineprefix
If you've never used wine, it can be advised to create a 32 bit wineprefix rather than (default) a 64bit one.
(the "wineprefix" is the folder were wine will simulate a windows environment, think of it like the "c" partition)
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/_youruserdir/.wine winecfg
3/ Download winetricks
See https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks for more information
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
4 - Optional/ Install windows corefont using winetricks
./winetricks corefonts
5/ Use winetricks to install steam (windows version)
./winetricks steam
6/ Install vcrun (2008 through 2015) and dotnet
./winetricks vcrun2005
./winetricks vcrun2008
./winetricks vcrun2010
./winetricks vcrun2012
./winetricks vcrun2013
./winetricks vcrun2015
./winetricks dotnet45 (dotnet40 is also reported to work)
7/ Set wine version to windows 7
winecfg
8/ Now launch steam, log-in and download your windows games
