Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the user experience to be consistently negative, frequently encountering issues with matchmaking that led to unfair battles against much stronger opponents. They also expressed significant dissatisfaction with the pricing structure and perceived lack of value for money, feeling pressured to spend to progress. Some people were dissatisfied with the product and quality, noting that certain vehicles seemed overpowered while others were underperforming or had inaccurate in-game representations compared to their real-life counterparts. However, a few other people also felt that the game was enjoyable and offered good graphics for a free-to-play title, suggesting that mastering tactics and understanding the game's mechanics could lead to a positive experience.

The game is horrible almost every battle is uptier witch means your playing opponents double to triple in strength then you witch you have no chance to win. Then there cheaters everywhare players in flying have learned to crash into your Wong snd they keep flying. Then they tank battles are so unreal if I shoot a tank in the same spot it would do worse to destroy it in real life in this game double shots dint count for anything. American tanks witch in history are the best in the world are the weakest on this game.

the worst F word game iv ever played

the worst F word game iv ever played. This game is so bad there is so much russain bias and its overpowered. Terrible ranking system. When is load into a match I see tank that are on ranks higher than mine how am i supposed to kill them. The grind is the worst and im sure every warthudner player can agree that doesn't have premium in this game yo have to buy premium to progress and get tanks. According to google web it took somebody to finish a whole nation tech tree in 3 weeks with premium and 1 month without premium once you reach tier V you will start to find the game bad and lots of russain bias like I have a American T34 has a 120 millimeter cannon and fires a t14e shell 279 millimeter penetration and I cant pen a t44 hull amour that is 100. Will not recommend this game yo anyone.

Hello

Hello,
I kindly ask you to read the message below.
Dear creators of the game War Thunder,
In your game, which is very entertaining,
Soviet tanks are designed to be very fast and powerful,
while German tanks are much slower and weaker compared to them.
This is while, according to documented history, during World War II and in battles such as Kursk and Kyiv,
Russian tanks performed inadequately against German tanks.
The reason for the victory of Soviet tanks over German tanks was their numerical superiority.
In very few close battles did the Russian T-34 show resistance against the German Panther or Tiger.
However, in most moments of the game, it is the Soviet tanks that destroy German tanks with a single shot.

Unrealistic and unfair

I love this game but
The German tank turret is very slow to turn like Pz iv f2 . Pz iv G . Pz iv H . Pz iv J . Panther D
I've been playing the game for 2 years, Germany has become weaker and Russia has become stronger. And in these 2 years I haven't seen a plane one-shot a tank (Yak 9) Russian plane
And in this 2 years I played USA,UK,GER

As a player who has seriously played…

As a player who has seriously played both Russia and Germany, I can definitely say that in many aspects, Germany is much weaker than its historical state. In history, during the Battle of Kursk and so on, the T-34 tanks could never destroy Tiger and Panther tanks under any conditions, but in the game, the opposite is true, and with a single shot from a T-34, you can destroy Panther and Tiger tanks from any position. There are issues in the game, including the extremely slow rotation of the turrets of the tanks: pz iv f2/pz iv g/panther d/pz iv h/pz iv j.
And in a terrible and unrealistic manner, Soviet tanks were placed in the game with battle ratings from 3 to 6.7, which is historically inaccurate. The most important factor in the game is that to achieve quick success, you have to spend money. Most of the time, due to the "pay to win" nature of this game, players who spend money have a significant advantage over normal players, including having emergency repairs, faster reloads, and stronger tanks. Overall, I love this game and always play it, but my opinion reflects that of many players, and I hope it gets addressed.

Game has gone downhill in a MASSIVE way.
Matchmaking is a joke. Im lvl 100 seal clubbing rank 15 and 10s then you get flipped into those battles against an opposite team which has all high ranking players on their side and low levels on yours. NO POINT IN LOADING YOU WILL DIE AND NO POINT FIGHTING A NO WIN BATTLE.
You get spwan camped and bombed and shot by enemy planes when your team doesnt have any anti air.
Your forced to buy tanks you will never use and lineups you never want to play just to get to something you will.
Why buy a tank you dont use ??? MUPPITS
waist any currency on repairs who barely can afford due to funding scams.
PAY TO WIN IS A THING.
Premium tanks have unfair advantage you can wipe out most of enemy easily .
Plus most of the countrys now have every other nations tanks anyways FULL COPY AND PASTE
LAZY SCUM.
Devs are just oblivious and only have their own agenda as does the BIAS developers.
Tank info is a JOKE and absurd. Not in any way realistic just self promoted nonsence.
They just on their own HYPE train.
also hit boxes LOL shelves can defeat a shell nice one !
GRIND HARD AND SELL SOUL SO PLAY THIS TRASH.

A GAME IS FUN THIS IS PURGATORY
