    È ottimo
    Ha ottimi modelli di aerei, carri, e navi.
    Controlli buoni e le modalità sono una più bella dell' altra

    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.

    War Thunder has been made unplayable by the developer company Gaijin's need to extract as much profit as possible, making the experience not fun for the players by ruining the economy balance.

    The game is unfair if you don't spend money basically forcing you to spend 60$ for a premium vehicle or premium which is also expensive considering you can get many better games with that money.It's also unbalanced for some nations not getting anything new for years while 3 main nations get stuff they don't actually need that could've gone to to another nation.Getting to modern vehicleThe game is unfair if you don't spend money basically forcing you to spend 60$ for a premium vehicle or premium which is also expensive considering you can get many better games with that money.It's also unbalanced for some nations not getting anything new for years while 3 main nations get stuff they don't actually need that could've gone to to another nation.Getting to modern vehicle takes years eithout premium vehicles and premium time basically forcing you to do this as a second job.… Expand

    The devs are incentivised to make the game worse with every update, the game is incredibly predatory, it is one of the most unfair game ever, depending on the game mode the gameplay is 90% luck and RNG and maybe 10% skill (fighting a battleship in a destroyer is literally like fighting a guy in full bodyarmor and rifle in hand with a water pistol) and it is objectively pay to win except that even if you pay it is still awful to play.

    I will end my review with this: The pacific island campagne pack came out in 2020, more then 3 years ago. The DLC costs 15$. TO THIS DAY one of the missions is broken and you can not finish it because not enough allied AI planes drop their torpedoes. The entire game is like this.    … Expand

    The company has made this game unplayable. They insult, censor, and demean the player base when they try to voice their concerns and issues, the forums especially are about as monitored as Guantanamo bay. After the fake bots they have been doing to boost player numbers in the middle of a blackout protest, I'm done playing the game

    Developers keep making it harder to earn currency to progress, and keep the price for paid content unreasonably high, and have for years ignored the playerbase and their requests.

    Unfortunately, developers only care about money. Adding "new" premium equipment for $60 a couple of times a month is the norm for them. Useless battlepass that does nothing
    (Imagine they have already added the second identical centurion as a reward for the battlpass)
    Fix bugs, listen to the community, work with them to make the game better, change the balance in order to make it at least "normal" to play not for the USSR - don't even dream about it.
    Until the economy is fixed and until they start listening to the players, I will not return here.

Вартандер обещает быть захватывающим военным симулятором, но на самом деле это просто жуткая катастрофа. Одним из наиболее раздражающих аспектов этой игры является ужасная система монетизации.

    Разработчики просто не могли пропустить ни одну возможность содрать с вас деньги. Открывание новых танков или самолетов требует либо бесконечных часов гринда, либо крупных вложений реальных денег. Это нечестно и очень раздражает. Вместо того, чтобы наслаждаться игровым процессом, вы постоянно замечаете, что вас обдирают и пытаются выжать каждый цент.

    К тому же, гринд в этой игре просто невыносимо долгий. Чтобы достичь чего-то значимого, вы должны проводить бесчисленные часы, повторяя одни и те же задания снова и снова. Это утомляет и убивает всю охоту за увлекательным геймплеем.

    Графика в Вартандер тоже оставляет желать лучшего. Все выглядит устаревшим и недоработанным. Некоторые модели танков и самолетов выглядят так, будто они были нарисованы еще в начале 2000-х годов. Игра просто не соответствует современным стандартам и оставляет ощущение, будто вы играете во что-то, что давно уже устарело.

    В общем, я не рекомендую Вартандер никому. Если вы хотите потратить свое время и деньги на игру, которая постоянно требует вложений и не приносит никакого удовольствия, то пожалуйста, присоединяйтесь. Но если вы ищете качественную и сбалансированную игру, то лучше обратиться к другим военным симуляторам, где монетизация не является главной задачей разработчиков, а игровой процесс приносит удовольствие.    … Expand

    The sad thing is, there isn't really any competitors for the game, thus making it easier for the developers to do as they please.
    I've been boycotting this game for the better part of 2 months now, and i'll keep doing that.
    You have a creator, that even goes so far as to blame the playerbase instead of owning up the mistakes they have made on the way til this day.

    Can't recommend this game to anyone, not by a long shot.

    If you want a good time?
    Well, GHPC is a rather new and good looking game if you are interested in tanks and ground forces.
    If you are into Air? Well, check out DCS.
    Brilliant air combat simulator.

    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.
