The quality of the game is decent and some of the battles can be fun, even if the game modes are basically just skirmish. However the reason I give the thumbs down currently is that the silver grind has gotten so bad you have to have BOTH a premium vehicle, premium time AND perform above the 50% mark to make any silver ingame. Otherwise you will ether not earn enough to cover the cost of a loss or you will only make like a few hundred silver when just selecting a crew for your new tank can be in the 120 000 silver cost AFTER you just payed 500 000 silver to get it...

Therefor I recommend people saying away from the game until such changes.
Those that say you can do this and that to earn disantly might be correct, but what they fail to tell you is that you BOTH have to have luck on your side (using gambles tokens etc) and to be skilled. Some of the tokens basically means you have to be in the top 5 to earn anything.

Even with premium time and premium vehicles, both air and ground, I have about 10 mid tier German aircrafts (no jets) I havent unlocked because I just dont have the silver to do so and that is in the context that I actually do perform well often.

In short, if you suck at video games. You can techincally pay 50EUR for a high tier premium vehicle and only be "allowed" to play it 30 lives (because you get 30 free repairs) before you are locked out for days because you lack silver to repair it. That shouldnt be possible, if you ask me, but it IS in WarThunder.

While I play this from time to time. I would recommend people that have never played to save yourself the hassle. Spend your money on another game and get more in return. WarThunder borders to a mobile game in pay 2 play.
