Great game till May, 24th :( They don't touch the game in years and fix any of the issues there are in multiplayer, but then release a random update removing chat and also managing to break all mods in the process. GG Creative Assembly.

Only cool kids stand in the red circle...

ON A REAL NOTE, this is the first time I have picked up a game, and had a smile on my face from start to finish of the gaming session, this game is endless FUN!!

20 dolla make you holla

I have no bad things to say so far other than expected EA bugs from every EA titled I have played like spelling errors and some menus being a little wonky sometimes. Great game in its current state for the price point, I don't really leave reviews but these guys deserve it.. but really CAPITAL SHIPS WHEN

war crime

Great game. Original feel of NW, but graphically improved 10fold. My regiment and I have had a blast in the week of the demo, and now on release with the full game. I couldnt suggest this game more to others!

Want to play this game so bad im just letting it sit overnight till servers open tomorrow, thats how good it is

Do you see my timed played? Ill never be getting that part of my life back, all given to a greedy company who continues to show their true colors and throw their dedicated player base to the curb like trash.

I didn't want to leave a negative review, but Gaijin's blatant contempt for their own players has forced my hand.

War Thunder is a game like no other, with a comprehensive damage system, combined arms, and variety of beautifully modeled tanks, aircraft and ships.

Unfortunately, this "uniqueness" has left Gaijin with little real competition over the years. What started off as a "free to play" title has over time become less and less free. Gaijin keeps adding nations and vehicles, while at the same time increasing repair costs and lowering RP/SL gain. A premium account isn't enough to comfortably progress anymore, now you also have to buy premium vehicles in every nation.

For the new players reading this, Gaijin has recently admitted that they balance free vehicles around a negative SL income for average players. That means they WANT you to lose money by playing, so you'll be forced to buy a top tier premium vehicle.

This isn't just greedy, it also destroys the matchmaker and the balance of the game. Since you only profit using premium vehicles they often end up being spammed. In battlerating 8.7, more than half the players on each team are in premium tanks. This results in rampant "one death leaving". These players only spawn their premium tank and leave when it's destroyed, leaving their team in a bad position. Sometimes the premium is their only tank for the tier, othertimes it's because "free" tanks aren't worth the high cost to repair.

Gaijin and their purposefully frustrating economy is ultimately to blame for this. There's so many other issues and scandals I could bring up, like how you can't repair or extinguish flames on your new tank before unlocking "parts" and "FPE". Gaijin wants you to pay gold to skip the grind for these essential tools.

In it's current state, I wouldn't recommend this game to anybody. That might seem hypocritical considering my hours spent in this game, but believe me. It's new players who suffer the most. Gaijin doesn't care about me, you, or the playerbase. Don't make the same mistake as me. Find another game that values your input, and respects your time.
