I've been playing War Thunder since 2013. I loved War Thunder. Gaijin has slaughtered the game I used to love and now it's a huge mess and all Gaijin does is add more Cold War era vehicles instead of fixing the game's glaring issues.

Update on 2023-01-03:
Holy crap Gaijin just keeps adding top tier cancer planes and premiums to go along side them. The A-10, the Su-25, the F-16, and the MiG-29 are the current biggest offenders. If you try to play ANY jet beyond the first jets each nation gets, you will face all aspect missiles (while you don't have flares, because fair and balanced), completely braindead teams, and comically bad server issues (like flares not deploying serverside, or missiles phasing through enemies, or even just servers falling apart in the middle of the match. War Thunder is the only game of it's kind and if a competitor showed up, we'd flock to that instead, foregoing thousands of hours and dollars wasted on this game. Gaijin does everything they can to make people buy premium stuff, and I understand and agree that they have to make money, but they do it in the most braindead, feeding wallet warrior, pay to win way possible.
