War Thunder is not a perfect game, and the developers have not always acted in the best interest of the players. That said, they've been trying their hardest to make up for past mistakes and change that perception.

The last few months have been filled with wonderful changes that only serve to make the game more enjoyable for everyone, from casual to premium veterans.

If you enjoy historical (as well as modern) air, land, and sea battles this game is the ultimate choice. It has a wide array of vehicles, maps, game modes, and playstyles. From arcade with a mouse, to simulation with a full sim rig and VR. I have played world of tanks and other similar games, but none come close to War Thunder.

There is currently a review bomb happening, and I'm putting this review out here because I feel that the community is abusing these reviews. And they're abusing the good faith efforts of the developers. Not because the game is struggling, not because the players are mistreated, but because their favorite premium vehicle didn't go on sale this year.

If you're a new player considering the game but put off by the reviews, please take them with a grain of salt.

This game is the ultimate firearm simulator. Period. Each firearm is hand crafted to be a 1:1 replica of its real life counterpart. If you can do it in real life, you can do it in H3VR.

Every single Friday for the past SIX YEARS there has been an update (I can count the exceptions on one hand). Either updating the game, adding new guns, or even entire new maps and modes. Out of all the games I've ever purchased, this one has consistently proven itself to be the best bang for my buck (get it?). And if you ever get bored of the hundreds of guns in the game there is a plethora of mods adding things from LeMat revolvers to fully customizable AR platforms rifles.

If you have VR and even the slightest interest in guns, this is absolutely the game for you. Don't even hesitate.

I won’t talk about the easily 100+ collective crashes my party of six had on launch night because I presume they’ll get fixed. So I’ll start with the multiplayer.

The moment to moment gameplay is actually very fun, and the gunplay feels amazing. You just won’t get to experience it. Your guns require 31 bullets and a permission slip to kill someone, the exact same gun will delete you from existence with no time to respond. The endless UAVs that are unencumbered by perks like ghost (unlocks at level 52 and doesn’t enable until over halfway through a match) mean that the enemy always knows where you are.

The weapon balance is all over the place. The entire teams of people we encountered using a one shot kill bolt action rifle without a scope that has a faster fire rate than the any SMG and will have you dead before you can even get your gun up certainly showcased the imbalance.

And while that all is happening to you, you have to navigate the most unnecessarily complex, unintuitive, and inefficient UI of game I’ve played in a long time (that you can only use in a match (or else it crashes)). The result of a drunken game of darts, I presume.

Which is surprising, since there are 20+ CoD games with perfectly functional UIs it could have learned from. Like maybe the previous Modern Warfare.

Which leads me to the campaign. MW19 had one of the most popular campaigns ever and was lauded as a true innovation in an otherwise stale formula. Excited to see how they follow that up?

You guessed it: drunken game of darts.

The story at its core is nonsenses. I mean that, it literally makes no sense. Nothing any of the characters do is logical.

What about the slow paced, gritty feel of missions like “Clean House” and “Wolf’s Den” from MW19? Don’t expect that here. There’s nothing of the sort.

Maybe you want action packed sequences like the original MW2? Well rest assured, those are awful too.

Maybe you like gimmicks such as AC-130 missions, stealth missions, or everyone’s favorite from MW19: using a camera to direct someone else. All fun, all overstay their welcome significantly.

I played it on Regular as I do all CoD campaigns one my first play through. And it was hard. Way harder than any other campaign at this difficulty. I died in one or two shots a LOT. Then I switched to recruit and nothing changed.

Except the endless hordes of armored enemies. Instead of taking twelve shots to the head to kill, they took eleven.

Want to play a survival crafting game? No? Well strap in because you’ve got about an hour and a half of that, for some reason.

The entire thing was a slog and there was no payoff. It didn’t follow up on the innovations of MW19, it reduced itself to the comforts of mediocrity.

I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone for the price.

P.S. Ghost is a total goober.

Edit: As it turns out, it was a driver issue. Nvidia 368.39 drivers break the game, and you will have to rollback to a previous version to make it run.

First game I've ever been so upset with that I write a review about it.

This game is unplayable. Literally. It crashes as soon as you launch it. Now, other reviewers have said this. But, if you're like me, you're probably thinking "Pfff, whatever, if I have the problem I'll just google it and have it working in five minutes."

Yeah, no. There is no single solution to this problem. So many things can cause this game to crash on startup, that there are hundreds of different solutions to the problem. I still haven't found one that works.

If you still decide to buy this game, good luck. You'll need it.
