Absolute garbage of a game. When War Thunder first came out, Gaijin got in trouble with gamers for pushing the pay-to-win mechanics, and everyone kept playing World of Tanks. Gaijin pretended to be sorry and to be invested in a good, "BALANCED" game. Now that the casual players have settled in, Gaijin is returning to its rotten roots.
Top tier premiums that are overpowered.
Unbalanced maps with well known glitches and bugs for almost 5 years.
Server lag even if you have 20ms ping.
Unpunished hackers and cheaters, ever since Gaijin introduced the game to China, the number of bots, wall hackers, and aimbotters have gone from once a month, to daily. But Gaijin is on its knees to the Chinese market because of money.
Horrible balance, I mean it's bad enough helicopters and bombers are in a tank game, but even just among the tanks it's bad.
The grind is worse than the other two tank games combined. Once you reach rank 4, get comfortable because you'll be there for a while. Unless you pay 60 dollars for a tank, you won't see modern vehicles for a year or more. Yet that's all Gaijin advertises now.
Do yourself a favor and just watch Phly on youtube. It's a lot more fun.
