    War Thunder is without a doubt an addictive game, but it is one that comes with a few caveats. However as a free to play title there really isn’t an excuse to not jump in and give it a go.

    The game is impressive in terms of content and realism and fun, with a lot of historical vehicles to drive from air to the grounds and seas. It’s a good free to play, if you’re willing to spend a lot of time grinding the broad content.

    The menu, currency confusion, being outclassed by pay-to-win players and lack of help is very off-putting in the beginning, but it does start to make sense if you can devote the time to learn it and stick with it. It’s not going to be for everyone, and I’d still wager it’s more catered towards the hardcore crowd, or those with disposable income, but War Thunder can be a deep and exciting game in the heat of battle. Once it’s free to play and out of Early Access, there’s no harm in giving it a shot, like your tank cannon.

    An absolute blast, in my humble opinion. Aircraft, ground vehicles, and naval forces, in ultimate battles. So much fun!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a great game for anyone who likes war history, tanks, planes and, ships. I really enjoy the tank battles and for anyone that is comparing this to WOT, I feel like this is more interesting than WOT cuz of the realistic battles and simulation. Expand

    The new economy update is absolutely terrible. We will not stop review bombing until you fix it.
