    Most of all in this game I was disappointed with the graphics, and everything else did not like it, so I do not recommend playing it.

    Honestly, I didn’t really like the game. An incredible amount of bugs constantly crashes. And to be honest, updates come out almost empty.

    War Thunder - "раньше было лучше"... Почему? Всё просто, игра получает обновления и постепенно отходит от первоначальной идеи - создания серьёзного проекта про военную технику 2й Мировой войны. На первый взгляд кажется, что всё неплохо, НО изначально разработчики держались позиции, что "если техника принимала участие в боях - она в игре, а если только проектировалась - ей места нет".War Thunder - "раньше было лучше"... Почему? Всё просто, игра получает обновления и постепенно отходит от первоначальной идеи - создания серьёзного проекта про военную технику 2й Мировой войны. На первый взгляд кажется, что всё неплохо, НО изначально разработчики держались позиции, что "если техника принимала участие в боях - она в игре, а если только проектировалась - ей места нет". Waffentragger, Maus (этот ещё ладно, как-никак в музее 1 есть...) Но это не самая главная проблема, разработчики начали ввод техники "послевоенной" (Т64(Б), Абрамс и пр.) тем самым убили и так слабый баланс, и ещё более важное - атмосферу. Теперь это непонятные "танцы" Тигров с 64-кой... ИС-2 с Абрамсом... И смех и грех, как говорится. Доходность в игре (внутриигровой валюты) сведена к тому, что без покупки премиум-аккаунта играть не сложно, а скорее невозможно. С графикой тут лучше чем в World of Tanks и другими проектами WG (которые пытаются догнать Gaijin, но это кажется смешным и бессмысленным). Сообщество у игры крайне малое, соответственно о нём и говорить нечего. Обновления относительно частые, НО редко интересные, и ещё реже - полезные, как и в остальных Free-проектах ориентированы на увеличение платного контента, цены на который тут неоправданно завышены. Отзывчивость ЦПП на низком уровне (опять-же как и у большинства Free to play (или Pay-to-win) проектов. В радость остались только разделение режимов (аркада, реалистичный и симуляторный режимы), в остальном всё печально. Так-же необъяснимо долгий и затянутый тест морской техники (при чём доступ к ней можно получить ТОЛЬКО при покупке пакета дополнения). Рекомендовать играть именно в этот проект не буду ни в коем случае.
    UPD 2020... Время идет, но в игре изменений нет... Было всё плохо... Стало ещё хуже! Постоянные "падения" серверов и т.д. только участились. Количество боев с абсурдным подбором техники в 5 раз стало чаще... Графикой проект на данный момент уже похвалиться не может, физикой - тем более! Хотя что я вам рассказываю? Разве есть хоть 1 нормальный проект от разработчиков из России? Думаю нет.    … Expand

When I was playing at 4,7, I was constantly losing battles against 5,7, which are dramatically higher. Even if I could penetrate some tanks at higher ranks, sometimes there were situations when I turned more slowly than others drove through the horizon.

    It's not all. Lions and eagles. Game constantly turning into the P2W arcade when you see camouflage bushes for dorrars, which can hide your vulnerable zones, and P2W tanks, which are put lower in that BR gauge, than it needs to be, because you need to win when you are paying, right?

    Lions. When you've already got the amount of exp to get a tank, you need to win so much more to get the lions to buy this tank. You do not like it? Pay for it.

    Aircraft are allowed to participate in tank battles. They get more for killing and for them the game gives more lions. I thought then that I go into the tank mode of the game, but it turned out to be a mistake.

    I'm not talking about airplanes, because I've played enough in this mode, and the game on them is not very interesting. Also in aircraft mode very much decides the amount of money invested in the game. For example, a paid aircraft destroyed 100 enemy aircraft in a mode against bots, when the second after it shot down just 38...    … Expand

    I did not like the fact that modern tanks are inaccessible - for example, the Leopard or Abrams tank. It is impossible to get similar armored vehicles without investing money. This is disrespectful to the players. Too high computer requirements for graphics, which leaves much to be desired.

First of all the game has numerous bugs, game design and balance issues are not addressed or are handled with absolute no regard of what it is going to do to the game. Bugs, a lot of them, are just left alone for months years or not fixed at all and this includes even some game breaking ones for example armor penetration when you shoot at someone and you should be able to penetrate their armor with ease it just either bounces or does not penetrate or vice versa when you are supposed to be able to withstand a hit from someone and it just goes straight throw. Then there is also the occasional disappearing shot where you fire your gun and the shot just goes into the void doing nothing. This has been going on for the entire time I have played the game so about 4 years.
    The game design is pretty much done by a 3-year-old since in most cases the map design encourages the players to spawn camp instead of playing the planned objective just because you are either able to shoot straight into your enemies spawn from your own spawn or their spawn is closer and easier to get to than the actual objective. In most maps where the layout is like this the side who gets to spawn camping first usually wins. In the air on the other hand playing as a bomber and trying to win by destroying the enemies bombing targets just does not happen since first you have to take out the primary targets 3-4 of them and for most bombers that takes between half or the entire bomb load they can carry (Only 2 bombers in the game have their real max bomb load the rest can only carry about between a third to half of the real one) then you have to make it all the way back to your own air field to rearm while the entire enemy team and their mothers are pretty much right on you trying to shoot you down and in most cases this is exactly what happens. After that they expect you to repeat the same trip to enemy bombing targets 3-5 times per player in order to destroy the remaining bombing targets. Needless to say that does not happen. So now the bombers are close to useless and don't really help you win the match.
    Game balance is mainly handled in game by something called battle rating or br and has some problems of its own. The way it works is that when you get into a match you can not be put up against vehicles that are over 1 br higher than lower than your highest br vehicle the thing is that because the top br is limited to 10.0 and the game vehicles range from vehicles from the 1920's to modern it causes a lot of brs to become cramped because they are trying to force vehicles into that narrow window and this results in vehicles being put up against something that they just simply can not compete. For example the br 5.7-6.7-7.7 is a good example since vehicles at 5.7 are relatively balanced against other vehicles of their won tier and even against some lower br vehicles but as soon as they encounter vehicles from 6.7 it all goes down the drain since in most cases they are better armored and armed to a huge extent and the same happens when 6.7 meets 7.7. 6.7 is dominated by heavily armored tanks that rely on their armor to stay alive but at 7.7 they go up against post war main battle tanks that will penetrate them in most cases at the thickest point easily. And this type of balancing goes on all the way to top tier 10.0. Another way they try to balance a tank because it just won't fit into their br system is by making its repair cost higher and this is to the point that some vehicles are just not meant to be played. Some vehicles have their repair cost set so high that in order for you to be able to afford get killed in one you will have to pretty much carry your team through the entire match and I am talking about multiple kills, assists and capture points or bombing in order to just be able to pay the repair cost. Just sometimes do they decide that balancing something means changing its statistics and in most cases they will either nerf it to oblivion or buff it to the point where it will make anything it faces wonder why are they even trying to compete against it. And then there are the vehicles they won't even touch and in most cases they are either event or premiums and are just simply OP but it is to the point where most people just ignore them because Gaijins biggest flaw which is not communicating with the player base which my friend made into a dialog.

    Graphics are 10 years behind today's requirements. Get modern tanks is impossible. I’ve been playing for more than four years, but didn’t even reach the t-55! Thousands of fights have passed. It takes 15 years to get to the Abrams or t-90. This not normal. The game has become inaccessible to ordinary users, has become a closed club of several hundred especially gifted.

    Paying services: I don't know what about credit cards, but mobile payments, boy oh boy are you in for a treat, when you find out that processing fee is nearly twice the thing you actually want to purchase (at least for cheaper items), in world of tanks there at least is no such fee for mobile payment

    Everything revolves on gold eagles, customization and such. but the worse part are the following

    game mechanics: there are some maps that are destructible and some that are not. you gotta figure that out while playing the game, no warning whatsoever.

    sometimes a teammate can die in front of you and you won't be able to shoot, but the enemy can clearly shoot through the tank.

    sometimes the matchmaking is disgustingly bad. you could be in a battle rating of 4, for example, and it will up-tier you to a BR of 5, now its nearly impossible to destroy 5 BR tanks , makes you feel you can a toy gun.

    if any of that wasn't as bad, the game sometimes will glitch the Audio, or worse yet, glitch the video and make it a living hell for that round. this is unacceptable for a game that old.    … Expand

And you need more than one crew to play. Then there is the experience where free XP can only be used for progression after you pay Golden Eagles, which can be obtained for cash only. (unless you are BFF with the developers)
    So I thought £50 would get me neatly ahead. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It was gone in a level or two; I was still stuck with crap planes. But, hell, you can get an F-86 on the end, and I'm no quitter, so I've payed again and again... and I ended up on blowing around £200 on a game that was actually a crappy flight sim.
    Okay at this point you will say that it's just because I am a crap gamer. Which could be true, however the crap community, the returning frustrations proved otherwise. After 3 months one supposed to show some progress after all, shouldn't he? But then, after getting really upset at the game I have uninstalled it. Then, after 4 months I thought I would give it a last try, I would just log in to check my account and see if anything changed for the better. And this is what put me off of this scam forever.
    My crews plane skills were gone. Basically all the planes that I purchased were suddenly non-flyable, unless I spend another £50-100 on purchasing new skills. Due to the constant modifications and 'perpetual beta' all the progress I had were annulled.
    I've learned my lesson. Coming from Hungary I know it's a well-established Eastern European ripoff. You'll end up paying thrice. The 'perpetual beta' is the perfect excuse to constantly hinder players in any progress and rip them off with the promise of better content that will never materialise.
    Do not spend a single dime on this game. It is a ripoff and a scam. Rather try Guild wars 2 or SWtOR; or buy Flight Simulator, X-Plane, or Lock-on Modern Air Combat; all of them way cheaper and better both as games and simulators.    … Expand

    I have been playing since version 1.27 (circa March 2013), and so far the game went from great to horrible.

    First of all, Gaijin's development circle is bogus, for almost 2 years since the game went into "Beta" (the term Beta is used for marketing purposes here) the game only added around 150 planes, most of which are versions/copies of others. So whenever you hear about all the    I have been playing since version 1.27 (circa March 2013), and so far the game went from great to horrible.

    First of all, Gaijin's development circle is bogus, for almost 2 years since the game went into "Beta" (the term Beta is used for marketing purposes here) the game only added around 150 planes, most of which are versions/copies of others. So whenever you hear about all the numerous planes in this game, it's a lie.

    Second of all, the updates are a nightmare, every update brings 1 or 2 useful features (that should have been taken care of during the conceptual stage, but whatever), but will always break something for sure. Multiple examples since March of 2013 to now would be, increasing place costs 10 times while reducing income by 2, making bomber gunners irrelevant, making bombers either structurally similar to pillboxes or paper kites, changing increasing rank of a plane while nerfing its performace at the same time, introducing JIP (Join in Progress) system that wasn't properly set up and brought chaos to the game, introducing new physics that cause tanks to fly over the skies, etc, etc, etc. A lot of "ninja" changes too, and those are big as they usually affect plane performances in a huge way, but they aren't mentioned in the patch notes, so you have to test every plane before figuring out what they did. Some planes even get broken, possibly on purpose. Several times some planes' flight models were altered with over performing ones, exactly when the game introduced premium models of those planes. By the way, B-17 was a flying pillbox for over 1 year, only in July of 2014 it got fixed. Horrible.

    The third major problem is their balancing in the game. Apparently they are using some sort of statistical plane performance system in the game, what this does basically, is increasing price and matchmaking rank (BR) overtime, if the plane does really well in the game. This would sounds like a good idea, except it doesn't work. Me-262 (1944) has matched against Sabres and Mig-15s for years now, and they don't want to fix it, and trust me when I tell you this, 262 doesn't even come close in terms in performance to Korean jets. Some post-war props with amazing performance are tiered lower than 1944 German fighters, even some jets are. They don't seem to fix that, as some of the issues has been around literally for over a year.

    The forth major problem is how Gaijin is treating it's customers. Silent post removal, ban hammers, forum bans, and so on, apply to everyone who dare to criticize the game. This is almost as bad as Infestation: Survival Stories in this sense. They don't want to listen to the people, simple as that. There were multiple non-trolling threads on the forum by people who are familiar with airplanes, and who offered to fix the balancing of the game for them, but Gaijin doesn't seem to care. In fact today, July 24th 2014, they introduced the new update that made the game even worse. All the problems with the balancing, and all the problems with plane tiering got multiplied, as planes that were under-tiered and over tiered got tiered even lower and higher respectively. How is this even possible? They reverted the changes 2 hours later, after a huge backlash on the forum that even they couldn't hide.

    Overall, the game started great in 2012, got better around March-May 2013, combined with web-ads that they got running at the time, the game had huge player base of over 70k when I started playing back then. By the time 1.35 arrived in mid summer of 2013, the player base got reduced to only 30k. With the addition of ground forces, the game was able to jump to 100k at peak time, and was able to hold that number for a wooping 2 days. Right now there's only 50,000 playing daily during the peak time, and according to Steam data, the number is on downward slope.

    As of now the game is history, only players who invested too much time and money like me keep playing it, it has nothing to offer to the newer players. Games like IL-2 Battle for Stalingrad and upcoming Armored Warfare might have a better chance. The developer is trying to push for the Naval combat now, but I seriously doubt they can beat Wargaming. I wish they would focus on problems that the most players (the air force players, the original crowd) are concerned with, as they are still the core of the game, but it just doesn't happen.

    Right now, I will score it a 2, for old times' sake. The game still has fun air combat gameplay, but it's just not worth getting into with all the frustration the developer gives you.    … Expand

    To be able to fly certain aircraft for a side such as the U.S You start with a lower tiered aircraft such as the P-26 Peashooter. You gain "XP" as you successfully complete mission etc, When you have enough xp

    If you want to fly for the British, Japanese or Russians you have to start at level 1, just as above, and gain
    xp one level at a time until you unlock all the aircraft.

    If you want to fly full real battles, be prepared for a wait.

    If you want to gain xp faster, you can pay to get premium account usage which will gain xp faster for you.

Powercreep happens constantly, particularly at higher tiers.

    Нерфить доходность техники, повышать стоимость ремонта техники, называя это все ребалансом экономики.
    В игре и так после 5 ранга не возможно играть не донатя в игру, игра тебя начинает наказывать за ошибки в бою высокой стоимостью ремонта которая скрыта от игрока (на некоторой техники цена ремонта настолько высока даже за хороший бой ты в лучшем случае выйдешь в 0 а скорее уйдешь в минус).
    Даже играя с премиум техникой и прем аккаутом чтоб прокачать технику 6-8 уходит безумное количество времени что приводит к тому что в бою у людей есть только один два респа и игра скатывается в унылую дичь где по гигантской карте катается 3.5 инвалида.
    Так же разработчики забивают на баланс техники в особенности если они находятся в не популярных ветках и не стремятся ее исправлять.
    На хайрангах появляются новые проблемы это стоимость штурмовки заходит просто за космическую стоимость при этом зенитка которая способна ее сбивать стоит 70 очков и из за механики игры банально самолеты отрисовываются значительно раньше чем наземная техника, так же кривые лоды из за которых техника для самолетов проваливается под землю.

    Perfect game for those who want to suffer, most of the advertising aims at modern era vehicles which you will never research because of never ending grind + economics are bad. Play rather DCS, you will learn how to fly much sooner than you will ever research anything in Grind Thunder.

    They do not do enough to combat bot players and cheaters. They moderate every comment you might want to make about the game in their forums, and will delete anything that is negative towards them and their actions. I recommend staying away from this game.    … Expand

Over the years the devs have consistently sought to give their player base the metaphorical finger, with economy changes designed (by the dev's own admission) to ensure the vast majority of players are losing money when using non-premium tanks and a standard account. The BR system remains beyond broken, with many planes sat either far above or below the ranks they should be at and naval battles despite being a relatively new addition in the grand scheme of things have been all but abandoned. The biggest shame is that Warthunder is the perfect example of what happens when a company has no competition, over the years Gaijin has become greedier and greedier. Either this needs to change or a competitor needs to emerge in the market because as it stands, while Gaijin's account balance will bloom the fantastic and unique game will flounder and the player base will drop.… Expand

    Fun gameplay, horrible economy and grind. If you saw trailers and want to play your favourite modern MBT or jet fighter prepare for months, if not years of grinding through ww2 vehicles. Or you can just buy one for $60 and get obliterated in every game by people who have over 2000 hours of playtime.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Been playing the game for over 6 years and recently Gaijin hasn't been improving the game in terms of economy, quality of life, etc. I've personally gone to the forums and suggested great ideas that would improve gameplay a lot but my posts just get deleted. Gaijin has also stated that you need premiums to make money in game and that research-based vehicles should not be able to make profit. All Gaijin cares about is adding more vehicles and improving visual rather than adding more game modes, improving the interface to make things like repairing easier, or the economy. Sure these things don't really bring them in money but in the long run it will because with an improved game they'll be able to keep players into the game actually want to spend real money instead of twisting their arm with a **** economy that practically forces us to spend real money.… Expand

    One of the cornerstones of War Thunder is that player’s skill is more important than his wallet. Premium vehicles offer no combat advantages, there is no “microtransaction-only” ammo or consumables, so no amount of cash will buy you a spot on the top of the food chain. [Issue#216, p.56]

    The official launch of War Thunder reminded me why I like this game so much. It's adorably chaotic - in contrast to the reliably designed World of Tanks. That's why it can be really fun and frustrating at the same time. There's tons of great vehicles (and the planes are superb!) and a difficult simulation mode, but there are also balance and technical issues.
