If you have any investment in this game already, then by all means continue to enjoy it. However War Thunder remains consistent with most F2P models and has a cancerous model that is honestly equivalent in a lot of ways to a timegated free mobile game. So if you're thinking that this might be a neat game to try out you are right, to an extent. Early in the game it is enjoyable and you are able to proceed through the content at a nice clip even if you are being rammed and absolutely annihilated by the matchmaking system or poor sports. Beyond tier 1 is a grind fest that is akin to what you might expect out of an mmo, but with a plane at the end of several hours of play and not lots of loot to sort. In the end I think this game receives a 7/10 for potential, but not recommended.
