The game is relatively fun... Until AGTs get involved. The game's netcode isn't fantastic in the first place, and can rubber band you, but combine that with:
- Inability to jump
- really annoying slowing
- The fact that survivors can spam them INSTANTLY while they take 3+ hits for you to break them

Makes killer incredibly unfun to play. The moment that my group figured out the strategy of AGT spam, all the fun was taken out of playing.

Played a few games, thought "wow this is kinda fun. Oh I can buy the L3/33, lets just play one more in that and die to like the second mission".

....I won my first game that run. L3/33 with an autocannon subturret or rocket pod rack is optimal.

Cannot recommend this enough.

This game is honestly pretty decent for what you get. It's got a decent amount of stuff and while there are some core features that would be welcome (main examples being multiple guns, autocannons, and functioning MGs) they're on the roadmap so they'll be here eventually. Hell, the multiple guns is coming out soon so this review may end up outdated.

My critiques and suggestions are as follows:
- No design sharing implemented. While this may in reality actually exist in some rudimentary form of sharing files with friends; there is to my knowledge no way of uploading your tanks so people can try them. This may be on the road map but I'm not sure
- Lack of tutorials can make there be a bit of an initial wall to overcome, this will be important in a moment.
- Some more scenario missions would be nice, including some easier ones for people like me who aren't very good at the game and are not Warthunder veterans
- The transmission system....

...This one critique is the entire reason I'm writing this review. The transmission system in it's current iteration is just plain awful and the most frustrating thing in the entire game BY FAR. It is an incredibly complicated system, the most hard to use in the game; and there is NO guiding to how it's used AT ALL. The lack of tutorials doesn't really end up being a big problem elsewhere but here it absolutely ruins the experience. It took me the best part of an hour to figure out why my tank reversing was going 10 km/h faster than it's forwards max speed; and even then the best I could get was clawing an extra 3 km/h out of the max speed. The transmission system NEEDS to be either reworked or replaced, or at the bare minimum it ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES tutorials or help popups to explain how the hell you're meant to use it.

Incredibly fun, incredibly modable,what's not to love?

This game may be short (evident by how I completed it in less than 3 hours including a break I took for some food) but it's a damn fun experience either way. The story was, while not masterpeice novel levels of good, still enjoyable and I found myself invested as the smarmy protagonist the entire way.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm just going to plug the little end of game blog post:

0 dead. 21 injured. 20 jobs. $13,000. The week echoed in my mind like something that happened in the last week.

They don't let me name names on this blog, but the person behind the hit I was investigating is dead now.

In fact, I may have killed more people than I actually avenged here.

The trigger man's dead. I thought that would feel good. It did.

I don't know.

I think I picked the right side.

Maybe that doesn't matter. Maybe all that matters is revenge.

Either way, I need a drink.
