War Thunder

I hate WarThunder I must confess. I spent too much time on it and still it gives me the wish to crush my computer each time I launch it. Each time I log, I make just two games else I become in a hard anger. The level of toxicity of this game is rare. Why we should make our nerves support this ? It could be a nice game, but there is nothing logical or strategical in this. Just hide and camp. Spawn camping is not rare. Sometimes your shell ricochet as it is not supposed to be and sometimes it one shoot the other tank while the shell arrives at 85° angle. No sense to me, just luck and lay down your brain cause it is useless with this software. Not funy at all.

Easily the Best F2P Military Vehicles Combat Game

This game is so awesome and addictive for me that I'm not able to play absolutely anything else!!

It is absolutely free to play, despite what some people would have you believe. If you want to just play and have fun, you don't have to pay a cent. However, if you're impatient and want to grind all the vehicles within a year, you will need to at least buy a premium account which isn't actually expensive especially if you get it during a sale.

The game is designed that way: it's free to play but if you really like it and/or want to grind fast, buy a premium account for a year during a 50% sale and at least one premium vehicle.

I've been playing since mid-2014 and have found the best way to play is to play both air and ground forces of at least 3 nations and also to play cooperatively in a squad with others which increases your chances of survival and victory dramatically.

Recently, the most exciting news besides the addition of naval battles and world war mode, is that War Thunder is not a WW2 or 1950s era game any more. Already it includes vehicles from the 1980s and according to the developers, they'll go up till the present-era with tanks, helicopters and possibly supersonic jets and even submarines!!

The concept is amazing. The execution, sucks. Pure Money Grab scheme. All you have to do is play for 5 minutes without putting money towards it and you see, you are just entertainment for the people that will sink alot of money into their pockets. Far from a free game. Plus time is the most important thing to any living being, and they not only waste your time, but money. Strongly recommend to not even try the game. Again, its a great concept, and would be an amazing game, if It wasn't so obvious pay to win. Not many other options out. Maybe one day we can get a Dev that is pure and wants people to just truly enjoy their game without trying to milk them dry like ever other big corporation these days.

I am a veteran player, one with thousands of hours of experience. It pains me to admit it, but the game is trap.

All the advertisements promise modern vehicles, ones you will never get without thousands of hours of grinding, even after paying for premium time and vehicles.

The game is just an outright scam in its current form, designed to suck you in and drain your wallet and time. The worst part is, there is a legitimately good game under it all. The gamplay is unique and fun, the wide variety of vehicles is great. All this potential has been squandered by developers who wanted to milk more and more money out of the fanbase, to a point where they have now killed their golden goose.

Avoid this game at all costs.

I have over 10K battles invested in this game. And throughout my experiences I can tell you that the Russian tanks are heavily favored. Reason for that is they get more favorable shots they do penetrations and some extreme areas where the shots normally don't penetrate. And they can kill tanks with glancing blows no other country can do that in the game. Also the map of extremes where you can just see everybody on AB battles takes all of the Tactical and strategic fun out of the game. Spotting somebody from a thousand meters away that's not even in your line of sight makes the game too hard. You can't set to jump anybody you can't set up an ambush because, your tank can be spotted through walls through buildings through anything however Russian tanks don't get spotted very easily another Dynamic which is heavily favored I don't know if it's because it's a russian-made game or what it is exactly. I know it sounds like I'm complaining I'm not I have played the game with all countries and all fairness. And I understand the Dynamics for example British early tanks do not have explosive rounds until rank maybe two or three where they start to get them. Russian tanks have extreme load times and poor accuracy but can kill with glancing blows and penetrate in the damnedest areas. The Germans as Superior as they are offensively they have low survivability when hit. And for some reason their parties seem to take longer to recover. As far as the realistic battles go, it's another level of extremes it's a steep learning curve and it's also very unforgiving. The biggest problem with the game would be the cross platform issue. You have guys who play on mouse and keyboard and have severe advantages when it comes to aiming over console players. The simple fact that on Council you have a constantly disappearing reticle when it Blends into the backgrounds it doesn't give you Fair Vantage of sight. The reticle appears and disappears constantly. I thought it was a leveling up issue but now that I have my cruise into the levels of seventies and '80s with vision and targeting maxed out the problem still exists. Geishing has shifted from making a quality war game to making more of a money maker and is taking a lot of the quality out of the game by doing so. Maybe you'll feel differently but that's just my opinion.
