    Match making is bad, how the old tanks meet the new coldwar tanks is stupid idea and mostly end in u'll loose it ofc.

    Update: After several year and nearly 2k hours of gameplay i can say, the game gets, and will get worse and worse. I played in hope will better, but no just worse by time. Many cheater around and fatal bugs which dont get solved. Deleted, dont recommend to any1, except wanna play a game with full of cheaters.    … Expand

    Though I've never played the PC version of this game. I will say this PS4 port suffers from very user unfriendly, possibly broken controls, nightmarish vehicle grinds that are even worse than tier 10 grinds on WoT, PC players (this is a cross platform game) always going after you because they know you have bad controls (you get a nice icon just to let them know you're a PS4 player), andThough I've never played the PC version of this game.

    Very bad support speed but good response. Game is very badly elaborated (physics bugs, realistic and Russian op) Graphics is good but playability is very bad.

    There is absolutely no balance. Soviet Union tanks - always oneshot and the presence of armor. While the rest of the tanks is the lack of armor, lack of power of the shells, in comparison with the Soviet Union. Oh, and most importantly - Economics 5, 6 grades so unprofitable that be prepared to pay a fee to hundreds of dollars. Most of the maps are small and uncomfortable for tanks, butThere is absolutely no balance. Soviet Union tanks - always oneshot and the presence of armor.

    This game is complete garbage. These developers are far too greedy. I also played the PS4 version, so here is one last 0 Gaijin. I don't recommend this pay-to-win garbage at all.

    The game is being slaughtered by its developer through its in-game economy. All new players can expect to be grinding for five years before they max out a tech tree, and free-to-play players can turn back now.

    Terrible matchmaking on all levels, historical, weapon tech, vehicle ratings etc. Not just pay to win, it's pay to have any fun at all. Overpowered premium vehicles available omly through purchase turning unskilled players into killing machines and skilled players into unstoppable killing machines.

    You get NO Cover from buildings, hills, large boulders or anything else. Couple of examples: One of the ship maps has large, solid rock islands and small to large caliber rounds go right through solid rock to kill you. In tank battles you can be below a hill and a round will somehow go through the hill and kill you. You see this happen on the hut replay and it is laughable.    … Expand

    The game itself is not interesting, the graphics are weak, you do not get any high. I sat down for it several times to play, thought to get in the mood. No way! I'm disappointed.

    keep hearing how much better this game is when it comes to vehicle combat than battlefield, so i decided to give an obvious p2w f2p a chance. legit cant even play a single match without getting kicked to the hangar after 30 seconds. no other game i own does this, and whenever i see people bring up this issue in forums, they get blamed for bad internet. my internet is fine. its the trashkeep hearing how much better this game is when it comes to vehicle combat than battlefield, so i decided to give an obvious p2w f2p a chance. legit cant even play a single match without getting kicked to the hangar after 30 seconds. no other game i own does this, and whenever i see people bring up this issue in forums, they get blamed for bad internet. my internet is fine. its the trash game that doesnt work. in conclusion, this game cant be better, because it doesnt even work.… Expand

    You must be kidding me! Nowadays you can find far more exciting gameplay and cooler graphics. That's probably one of the lamest products I've seen this year!

    Slop game, the graphics are just a complete zero. After 5 minutes of the game, I became disgusted. I was very bored to play it, there is nothing interesting in it. The essence of the game was not impressive, I did not receive emotions. But as we all know, deceived once, will be deceived twice.

    While the initial learning curve is daunting, this is one of those games that opens up dramatically the more that you play it, so the time commitment is worthwhile whether you're a laidback dogfighter or a hardcore simmer.

    The Ground Forces expansion makes War Thunder even bigger than it was already, an MMO F2P that lets you choose the war you want: simulation or arcade, air or ground, challenging or relaxing, competitive or cooperative, free or with fee, PC or PS4.

    It’s mostly the moments in between battles that bring the whole experience down, as a lack of information and poor menus tarnish this flying ace.
