So... I'm new - 2 weeks.

I have a level 25 account on my iPad. It connects to Game Center and/or Facebook.

I put the game on my phone (so I can log in from work etc. and kick off upgrades). It's a different (brand new) account.

Are accounts tied to specific devices? So... if I give my son my iPad and get a new one in the spring, can I use the account?

Also I know the updates come out at different times for Android and iOS. Are we all in the same games - do the platforms play against each other or are they separate?

How do I play on the account I've built using a different device?

My knowledge is from android only, but I think iOS would be more like same.

In android you have to be logged in to Google Play to sync game progress between devices with same Google account. With that you can play War Robots with multiple devices with one War Robots account. I personally have one tablet and one android emulator in PC to play with and they both are synced through Google account with that Google Play -service.

Android and iOS platforms dont play on same servers - they are completely separate servers.

So you mean all players I see are on Android too?

As for the OP's question, are both devices using the same Game Center account? I was under the impression that Game Center and Google Play Games worked the same way. On Android, I have the same account running on an S7Edge, a Galaxy Tab 4, and my PC (Android emulator).

Yes, they are on different servers, ie., Android players play separately from IOS people.

I spent the money on Helium Backup which saves game data, but actually I didn't need to since War Robots ties in beautifully with Google's Play Games. I would imagine IOs works the same way; perhaps you just need to link the game to it.

Fight with the clenched fist of truth—which is past the bent elbow of nonsense and hiding in the overstuffed pocket of needlessly aggressive metaphors.
