According to Reddit, this game was complete garbage with any unique perks or punishing combat. Nobody plays this game anymore because combat is devoid of thought or strategy.
I bought this game a year ago and I thought the game would evolve into something better, but it just got progressively worse at no fault of the devs, they were just following the low skill whiny community's wishes. ♥♥♥♥ you /r/SurvivetheCulling you're the ones that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ this all up, you whiny pieces of ♥♥♥♥.

Hitbox issues due to Lag

I play this game regularly and noticed that the developers have been constantly listening to the community and updating the game to fit their needs; but honestly, this game still needs improvement. However, I honestly believe, judging by the responsiveness and transparency of the developers, that this game will be miles better than it is now and will continue to improve as time goes on.

Changes have been announced and are being implemented to improve sustainable gameplay and a better incentive strategy for monetization. This game has long had issues that are now being gradually resolved.
War Thunder is a great game with its own issues, its a good game to play long term; hopefully these changes stick and improve in the future.

Gaijin has clamped the progression system to the point of unsustainability. This game is a chore with how you have to balance RP gain, SL costs, and vehicle viability. After grinding tech tree vehicles, you are punished for using them with absurdly high repair costs. In simulator mode, Gaijin punishes players for not playing the best vehicle at the tier with crazy silver lion costs. War Thunder is a great game that forces players to either pay up or quit altogether.
