    **** game that wants you to throw money at it to progress and help stack teams / get bonus stats on vehicles, obvious bias for certain countries based on developers preferences like russia and usa

    I'm giving this a 1(Updated from a 3 to 1 as there is no HOTAS Support on Xbox) and I hope that that may change at some point, but currently the game is TRASH .... it's a direct PC port , it doesn't appear they've done anything to change the controls from Keyboard and Mouse to an xbox controller so good luck aiming or maintaining consistency in controls. Game randomly hangs duringI'm giving this a 1(Updated from a 3 to 1 as there is no HOTAS Support on Xbox) and I hope that that may change at some point, but currently the game is TRASH .... it's a direct PC port , it doesn't appear they've done anything to change the controls from Keyboard and Mouse to an xbox controller so good luck aiming or maintaining consistency in controls. Game randomly hangs during tutorials when it asks you to move your mouse pointer to the edge of the screen. etc. I get it ... it's kind of an early release, but come on Gaijin ... do more than just rebuild it so it runs on an xbox, tweak the controls!!!

    I'm hoping it will support my Thrustmaster HOTAS ONE, but we'll see I've yet to have confirmation on this although they are selling a PS4 branded version.

    I've only done the flight missions but so far it's ridiculous as it's looking for mouse style input ....

    I'll update this later in the week when I attempt it with HOTAS(Hands on Throttle and Stick) ...

    PLEASE MAKE THIS BETTER!

    *UPDATE* This game does not support HOTAS!!! ... this makes it even more trash.

    They're currently marketing a Thrustmaster HOTAS kit for PS4 with a Special War Thunder package ... yet no support for Xbox .... get it together Gaijin!    … Expand

    Hacks everywhere - lame / the untalented become great and get shot down instantly - a WHOLE Squadron of HACKS VPO -- ** Freemium - you pay for the hacks
    //
    NOT worth playing until Gaijin fixes the hacks ***

    The GMs is a anti player company, all they can think of is how to maximize their profit on behalf of their players.

    Gaijin's greed is out of control. Yeah I get it, a company's purpose is to make money, and that will always be a priority. But these developers still need to balance the economy correctly so that free-to-play players don't have pay real money. That's the whole point of making a game free-to-play.

    The game is being destroyed 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.

    For the sake of purity of experiment tried to sit down to play several times, suddenly because of mood of a high there is no. No way! The game is uninteresting, boring, empty. Not recommend.

    Awful game. Feels like I i'm in 2003 again. And why can't you make a normal flight control? This is definitely not what I expected from this game.

    I got a pretty bad impression of this game. I expected to see something new, a cool toy, but I did not see it. The graphics are flimsy, there is nothing original. This is just disappointing.

    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.
