    If you have an anger control issue I don't recommend you to play War Thunder. Because, there are lots of users who are using cheats, abuse, and exploits.

    The tank features are not logical at all, a tier 2 tank can even pierce Tiger's armour. That's weird... Trust me!

    What I am saying is that matchmaking of War Thunder is not fair at all, also its anti-cheat is not working.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would love the game if it had just Tank mode. Bombing and Air-strikes have ridiculously made playing Tanks unplayable unless you are a pay to win player. You get bombed so much you can't even fairly combat against enemy tanks. If you are in a good fighting position they will just drop an air-strike right on you. It has made me hate the game and become totally frustrated. I am just about to delete this game and stop playing all together. The game play sucks now. Pay to win players have an extreme advantage over you. Blows… Expand

    Im really having a hard time rating WT. even after 1,4k hours, i still dont actually know if i like it or not.

    The thing is, at first glance everything should go against it. The trailers are always obvious bait. And you can only progress past rank 5/6 vehicles if you start putting in real money for the premium time and benefits, you try to embrace the grind or you just stop playing it.

And you can only progress past rank 5/6 vehicles if you start putting in real money for the premium time and benefits, you try to embrace the grind or you just stop playing it. And i mean the grind wall you will hit your head against is huge. The first hours or days you will progress fairly fast through the first 3 maybe 4 ranks, but after that its 100 of hours for a single vehicle.

    Also i always hated certain game mechanics. For example, when you unlock and buy a new vehicle it comes with no upgrades, usually meaning not the best ammo or gun, or engine but in this f**ing game you have to unlock the ability to repair and put put fires! Seperatly! Its the dumbest thing to think a tank crew cant repair or use an fpe because they didnt bring any to the battle.

    TL;DR Game has huge historical amount of vehcles and they look great and also (mostly) feel great to play. Sadly everything surrounding the game is pure agony and suffering. If you like the historical part, great, i like to collect most of the vehicles rather than playing them. But that you need to amke your own grind goals, so that you dont start eating you own skin, is a bit much. But they make money, and have next to none competetors. So why would they stop? I really love/hate the game

    Reduce the grind, decompress the br´s and maybe it would be time for some new game modes besides elimination and conquer, but i doubt that will ever happen.    … Expand

    Air "Realistic" Battles are just repainted Arcade Air Domination Battles.
    Planes have their own mode since release 2012 but the company is unable to provide this for Tanks despite the player numbers going up.

    Bad balancing attempt via repair costs(if you fail you get punished double).
    Airplane only modes exist for years but no Tank only mode.
    Tank mode is always with airplanes/Helicopters than kill you out of thin air. Gets worse the higher you go. This is one of the reasons why I stopped playing Ground Forces.
    Naval mode is boring, going to the dentist is more fun.
    "Events" are never fun.
    Lack of PvE/Coop modes for chill game.
    Made only PvE mode ridiculously harder in order to force players back into Ground mode.
    The higher the Battle rating you come, the less fun the game becomes.
    Introduced more and more guided missiles and higher Air battles remind more an more of Ace Combat, except Air Combat is fun.
    Bugs: Invisible tanks, planes, trees with buggy large collision boxes... Immortal Airfields. Failing hit registration for Air and Ground battles. Disconnects, crashes.

    And not to talk about the absure prices to repair one of your tanks/ships/plane. if you are a good player and kan make 3-7 kills per match you will get around 50-120k silver a round some of the tanks/boats/planes costs 45k+ to repair so if you have a bad player that barely make a kill will never have enough of silver to repair..... and then there is the mods..... banning players from chat because they asking when the game is going to be better...... if you see this DON*T PLAY THIS I rather actually go back to a **** game called World of tanks instead of this..... it's just getting worse and it's stupid how gaijin think they can still go on the money train and never make the game better.... it's all about money and Honestly DON'T even bother playing it.......    … Expand

    - Баги. Некоторые из них существуют ещё со времён бета теста. Фиксить их разработчики и не чешутся, потому что нафиг надо.
    - РПУ. Многие будут говорить, что у меня шиза, что я всё придумываю, что эту механику давно отключили, но сколько я играю, столько и замечаю, что нифига её не отключили. Более того, она вам всячески постарается помешать затащить и без того сложный бой. Запомните - от вас и ваших союзников ничего не зависит. Исход боя уже предначертан. Поэтому не удивляйтесь, если от множеств попаданий по вражескому самолёту вы увидите такие надписи как "повреждение средней стойки шасси" или "повреждение закрылка". Вы не собьёте противника до тех пор, пока игра сама этим не распорядится. То же самое и в танковых боях. Вы уверены, что пробьёте эту Пантеру подкалибером? Не-а. Вы не пробьёте её. Игра всё спишет на мифический рикошет, на баг, на что угодно, но пробития не будет. Когда вдоволь настрадаетесь, МОЖЕТ БЫТЬ, данная механика станет на вашу сторону и поможет вам.
    - Топы. Здесь постараюсь быть лаконичным. Просто возьмите F-104 Starfighter и попробуйте повоевать против всяких МиГов, Фантомов и прочих. Сразу увидите что к чему.
    - Графика. Казалось бы, за графику я мог бы подрисовать единичку в оценку к игре, но нет, я не буду этого делать. Объясню почему. Вернёмся снова на землю. Попробуйте включить и выключить траву в прицеле. Да и не только в прицеле, а и вообще. Чувствуете разницу? Верно. Чем хуже у тебя настройки графики, тем виднее тебе противника. В то время, когда я хочу насладиться ультра настройками, меня вполне может выцелить какой-нибудь нубик с минимальными настройками графики, которого я бы даже в упор не разглядел. Разрабы подыгрывают "бичарам"?

Even worse, recently they keep adding irrelevant contents and slowly change the game into a mere FPS game but sucks hard. In short, the game has turned into a pure pay2win game that keeps accumulating issues.

Or announce they are told there is something that will not be changed in the game, cause the developers told them so; Several weeks later the opposite happens... The content providers are again apologizing to their audience... Gijien probably gets a good laugh, when they crawl back for more.
    -- Nobody gets gamed, more than the gamers. Being experienced, and having 80% trash happen for 20% decent games, even if you lose... Turns into the average, especially if you spend money on the game. It's like a mode gets turned on, because you will be trying, and not leaving soon.
    -- One of my favorite episodes: There was a type of tank that was killing me every time, for about ten games in a row...once, got me at the beginning of a game point blank as I came around a corner, before I make it four hundred yard... I was about 1,600 yds to that teams supposed start point... Oh, guess which typed of tank was on special that week?
    -- Caught them using a player's gamer tag, that wasn't in the game. He was a friend in a group, all chatting while we were in the game - he was playing Rocket League. HIs status on Xbox verified that, on friend's list. Have check this out on PC and Console. So while you are off, AI may very well be using your tag. Any blacklisting, or complaints people lodged in the game, about you using aim bots or whatever, you'll never see or hear of. Isn't that lovely?
    -- When it's "Whales night out", you will find yourself repeatedly on maps that allow the other team to limit your travel to one area, where the team is surrounded and destroyed... usually by people in a squad, in voice communication with each other, seal clubbing a multiplayer team who have no idea who the others on the team are (or even if they aren't bots), limited to stopping and typing on the keyboard for communication. I ran simulators in a previous life, and know being gamed when I see it, I used to do it to people.
    -- Great graphics and some hard work done on the game, too bad the ethics seem to not be there. I can't imagine the incredibly large customer base they would have, if honest and fair were the biggest compliment this game got... and people simply didn't leave.
    AI is used heavily in the game. AI can look at all your teams behavior and habits, and counter accordingly. This game and World of Tanks have a relationship with the Russian Military - WoT even has had it's logo on the side of Russian Tanks in International Competitions - and they are collecting data for them. They are Russian Companies, so saying no may not be an option. For some of you wondering how these games can be so broke and full of "cancer", and still survive financially... Wonder no more. It is a data gold mine, and behavior experiment also worth it's weight in gold. A great platform to test AI's ability to come up with an Order of Battle on the fly. So understand this going in.
    Basically, you will be dealing with Carnies at the State Fair... Cool game, Technically speaking.
    Also, people can dumb down the graphics in settings... So much for not allowing cheating.    … Expand

    Summary: This game has a lot of visual charm, and it will initially make a very good impression to you. Don't be fooled! ,Pretty soon, as you progress very slowly in it, you will realize that everything is broken and left broken in order to make you pay money. The sheer frustration will replace your initial impression at the point of cursing the day you started to play it.

    PROS: -    Summary: This game has a lot of visual charm, and it will initially make a very good impression to you. Don't be fooled! ,Pretty soon, as you progress very slowly in it, you will realize that everything is broken and left broken in order to make you pay money. The sheer frustration will replace your initial impression at the point of cursing the day you started to play it.

    PROS:

    - The planes and tanks models are great, the visuals are beautiful. The physics and the vehicles simulator part seems overall very well made (it's not, but you'll discover it later) and potentially funny to play.

    CONS:

    - It's basically a P2W game, disguised as "Pay to go faster", because grinding can take forever and, while you grind up your vehicles and your crews, you basically will play for a very long time with handicapped vehicles and crews, while paying players and veteran players will start with more powerful vehicles and crews, basically slaughtering you everytime.

    - The maps and the game modes are boring, repetitive and bugs ridden (maps too small, missions impossible to accomplish, etc.).

    - The gameplay is totally unbalanced, and in a very frustrating way. It is based upon an unsatisfactory Battle Rating level. You will end up constantly fighting and being slaughtered by better vehicles than yours and by better players than you. It's exactly how the game is intended to work. Don't forget, you can play for free, but then you are treated as cannon fodder.

    - If you chose to play for free the grinding to unlock and then to "spade" (i.e.to upgrade) every new vehicle can be horrible. In addiction, you have to grind also your crew, because even the best vehicles with a low level crew act as bricks.

    - The premium vehicles, and generally all the paid features are terribly expensive to buy, but often will give you a serious advantage over other players.

    - This is not a beginners friendly game. The learning curve is very slow and painful, it lacks any "novice" mode to play, and the only way to (slowly) learn something is to be constantly and mercilessly bashed not only by the very expert long-time players, but also by the paying, not so good but pampered by the game, wallet warriors.

    - The game economy is completely broken. You are supposed to play for free, but everything, from new vehicles to repairs and ammunitions, will cost you insane amounts of the ingame currency, while the earnings of this currency (obtained only in battle or exchanged with real money) has been severely hampered. So, if you aren't good enough in battle and earn too little (and you have to be extremely good, not simply average, to earn something), you'll end up paying real money just to repair your vehicles and to buy their ammunitions for every battle.

    CONCLUSIONS: Avoid at all costs this trap if you care for your mental health. The humiliation and the frustration that you will endure before actually beginning to learn how to play a bit better will be long, unbearable and simply not worth it. And then, the frustration will not end after you improve your skills, because you will still deal with how broken the game economy is.    … Expand

Есть много симуляторов, но они не онлайн. Есть много игр про технику, но они не столь реалистичны и красивы. Эта игра позволяет тебе играть так, как ты захочешь. Твой комп смахивает на печатную машинку прямиком из канцелярии рейхсфюрера СС? Не беда, ведь игра просто великолепно оптимизирована и на минимальных настройках её потянет любое ведро. Не забыли и про игроков с топовыми ПК, кому позавидовали бы передовые инженеры Пентагона. Для них существуют ультра настройки, где у вас глаза повылазят из орбит от красоты происходящего на экране.
    Что касается геймплейной составляющей, тут беспокоится не о чем. Приближенная(!) к реалистичной система повреждений, которой могут составить конкуренцию разве что топовые симуляторы. Есть возможность поиграть как аркадному геймеру-новичку, так и заядлому симуляторщику. Для этого предусмотрены различные режимы игры. Подбор техники происходит по боевому рейтингу, который иногда меняют, дабы получше сбалансировать игру.
    Если говорить о минусах (которые тут есть), можно отметить не идеальную систему повреждений. О ней можно говорить очень много, долго, хорошего и плохого но по-факту она зачастую может быть попросту случайной, а если добавить к этим случайностям нередкие баги дамаг модели, то получается весьма сомнительного качества картина. Но. Но. Гайджин стараются сделать реалистичные повреждения, а это весьма сложно, ведь определить и просчитать урон осколками или самим снарядом по различным типам брони и внутри них, невероятно сложно, а я напомню что вам это даётся на безвозмездной основе!
    В целом и общем, по-моему мнению это лучшее из того, что может вам предложить игропром в этом жанре. Да, она не идеальна, но если вы любитель техники, её истории и всяческих масштабных баталий, то эта игра подарит вам десятки, сотни, а то и тысячи весело проведённых часов.    … Expand

Seriously, you can destroy premium Abrams using BT-5, or shoot down the most advanced helicopter or plane using some random WWII biplane. The main problem is grind. Not balance, not graphics, but A LOT OF GRIND. Yeah, you can easily get rank 3 or 4 (Like T-34s or Shermans) of any nation in one month or less, but if you want something higher (Abrams, F-4C or T-72), you'll have to donate or grind for more than a year. But, if you like WWII planes, tanks or ships - this game will give you them all in some time, but if you want Mig-19 or Mirage, you'll have to grind a lot. But if grind doesn't stop you, then just try it. There's good graphics, plane's physics (much better than in other games) and bit worse tank's physics. Gameplay is not so exciting, but with friends, you can have some fun. Just my small advices: T-72s, Abramses and other modern stuff doesn't worth your money and time, but jet planes can be interesting, and Arcade battles much worse than Realistic, but for newcomers arcade is the best way to learn the game basics.… Expand

    This is the game that's always almost fun but is usually just frustrating. I don't mean that in the Dark Souls kind of way, it's just a poorly designed tech tree, for one. Every update is some sort of monkey's paw-esque kind of deal where one thing gets fixed only for a litany of other issues to take it's place.

    I've played this game off and on since 2015.

You jump on this son of b*tch game from a son of a b*tch dev, just to get your a** blazed by some level 100 players on lowest tier games, worse, their crews have maximum training and definitely are better than your sh*tty newly bought crews. But it's fine, you may think, it's just game after all. You queue for the next and the next games. In one game, you want to chill with your scrub tier 1 tank and BAM, uptiered MOFO. And in another game, BAM you get shot by some glorious plane warrior in a game full of tanks, to make it worse, now there're planes with bloody cannons. Because planes need attention too said our "beloved" Dev aka Gaijin aka RUSSIANS. Finally, you overcome all the negative feelings just to realize the MOFO on other side paid more than you and he's plowing through your team with his premium babies. After many games, your researching vehicle progress still stuck at about 10% and the option to pay for research point appears.

    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"...

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?

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.

And moderators are only there to ensure that any comment that unveil the thing gets properly censored, and account banned. I just hope videogame industry will react and produce some real war game (Microprose ?), so we can get rid of this hold-up on our fun, and bring back the pleasure once it was to play a game.… Expand

The content added won't be anything the majority of players will ever see due the grind. The Final straw was World War which is absolutely broken full of cheaters (just google aim bot war thunder download or join a RB match it's pretty blatant). World war is also just terrible a mix of arcade markers and Realistic battle mechanics leading to an awkward sit and click play. I never liked Arcade battles due to it pretty much being hit w right click and shoot but it's the mode pretty much you're forced to play due to how little you get for rewards after tier III. The community absolutely dismisses the dump of complaints due to usually the people that drop massive amounts of money into this game have a weird lost profit fallacy so valid complaints are dismissed by the majority of people on the forums. There's really nothing left to just have fun it's just repetitive frustration or you feel like the game is too easy depending on your vehicle. Ultimately if you're a hardcore player it will be a chore if you're casual it won't be fun so what's the point of even playing a game with amazing penetration system with no way to have fun with it. 1 star because the developers somehow turned a fantastic game into just a boring mess with no redeeming qualities left.… Expand

    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

When there were little to none paper vehicles that never existed IRL, economy was not about grind and there was less of "you play good so we will balance you with the worst team ever and oh, you can't penetrate this XXmm armour with your shot of XX+50mm penetration because of resons!"

    - графика - абсолютно отвратительная, особенно мегавсратое освещение, при котором всё, что освещается - пересвечено, всё что в тени - очень тёмное. Про мыльные текстурки и кривые хитбоксы окружения и говорить не стоит. Левел-дизайн - скучнейшее, ленивое днище.

Про мыльные текстурки и кривые хитбоксы окружения и говорить не стоит. Левел-дизайн - скучнейшее, ленивое днище.

    - сетевой код - постоянные рассинхроны, особенно это чувствуется в авиационных боях. Исчезновение снарядов в танковых боях, непрорисовка самих танков (так и не исправлено за годы жалоб), восстанавливающиеся объекты, которые были ранее разрушены (тоже не исправлено) и прочие радости.

    - баланс - ну, его нет. Чем выше БР, тем всё печальнее. Особенно доставляет вилка +/- 1 бр при закидывании в бои. А без неё никак - онлайн на днище (ой как удивительно, да?)

    - экономика - выстраивается по какой-то неведомой статистике. Без према, выше БР-а чем 6.0 качаться имеет смысл только если у вас ОЧЕНЬ много времени и терпения. Понятно что разработчик должен зарабатывать, но 500 с хером рублей за месяц - не многовато ли? При этом на топовых БР-ах даже с премом серебро фармится не то чтобы хорошо.

    - прокачка... Куча однотипных машин в ветках, в большинстве случаев которые требуют не только исследования, но и покупки. Самое потрясающее это необходимость прокачивать ОГНЕТУШИТЕЛИ!!! ДАЖЕ В СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ТАНКАХ!!! Необходимость открытия возможности полевого ремонта я ещё как-то с большим скрипом могу понять, но ПРОКАЧКА ОГНЕТУШИТЕЛЯ!!!! Это просто верх наглости.

    Ну и сама контора себя уже дискредитировала своей политикой в общении с комьюнити, особенно многолетнее юление в вопросе читерства (последний анальный манёвр - ЧИТОВ в игре НЕТ, есть ЗАПРЕЩЁННЫЕ МОДИФИКАЦИИ! Это просто пять, снова выполнили своим пердалищем фигуру высшего пилотажа.

    В общем, когда-то казалось (во времена где-то патча 1.45), что проект строится весьма годный. Вокруг игры собралось множество людей, интересующихся историей техники, всё было довольно лампово. Система повреждений хоть и была очень сырой (спойлер - ), но выглядела мегакруто. Графоний был весьма приятен на тот момент (да он был даже лучше чем сейчас, особенно освещение), баланс был более ли менее сносный, и всё было хорошо. Но в какой-то момент что-то произошло, и всё покатилось в мохнатую. Примерно с введением MBT-70, не помню какой это был патч. Началось натягивание новых наций (нахрен никому не нужных), вертолетов (которые не играбельны в большинстве), флота (для полутора человек) - и всё это гордо называется РАЗВИТИЕ. Т.е. толком не доделав "скелет" игры, не избавившись от детских болячек, они решили забить болт и рубить бабло. Ну, это их право. Какое-то количество денег в игру я занёс, так что считаю что имею право высказывать своё мнение. И, выкакавшись тут, спокойно удаляю игру. Очень жаль, что этот проект скатился, даже не развив до конца свой потенциал.    … 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.
