War Thunder is perfect blend betweel mil-sim and simplified PvP. It is the world's largest virtual 3D military vehicle museum that aims to one day host every single military vehicle and is getting close to it. Superb in game physics and visuals. Custom campaign creation possible. Enormous potential.
BUT...
it's War Thunder that has the stuff. NOT YOU. You are baited in with glamor of apache helicopters, Tomcats, M1 Abrams tanks and so on. True. They are there and ppl play them. NOT YOU! it takes literal human years to research and upgrade just 1 war thunder nation all the way to the top tier. Even with premium acount and 10 years of gameplay - if you have real life- you cannot get enough endgame content to justify the cost in time and money. it offers you expensive high tier vehicles to bypass the grind only to render your investment useless in 2 years with new and more OP pay to win content.
Currenty the game is engaged in the largest conflict of 10 years with it's most loyal core paying playerbase who after given so much have received only so little. End of the confrontation remains to be seen
Earmark this game. Do not play in it's current state!
