Absolutely not. Take your money and time elsewhere.
Been playing since 2015 and while the core gameplay can be fun, the devs are some of the most tone-deaf and stubborn you will ever meet. This game nickel-and-dimes its players to the extent that would make even the likes of EA and Ubisoft blush. In fact, I've played gatcha games with fairer business models than War Thunder.
Recommend you also check recent Steam reviews to see the entire playerbase in revolt over this. 0/5 turn around, run like heck, and DO NOT LOOK BACK!
