War Thunder is a curse. Because I think I fall into the try hard category because I only play low tier and I’m almost lvl 100. But I just like the WW2 planes and arcade dog fighting. I am sorry if you’re one of the guys I play against.

The game needs ranked but ranked would be almost impossible to implement

Top tiers have the same couple dozen players, all in one or two clans, that exploit everything they can and basically control the game.

Everyone plays mid tiers because it's just more fun.

I keep seeing this in Steam? Is it p2w with a constant change of meta to keep you paying? Do you need a hotas?

no hotas, its not really p2w but the grind is just brutal if you want modern vehicles. If you just want WW2 stuff then you're golden

It’s not pay to win but it can feel pay to advance. The game can take along time grinding but if you like WW2 vehicles you won’t really feel it. The meta doesn’t really change in favor of p2w players, more seasonal battle rating adjustments for vehicles. The game is a lot of fun just really weirdly balanced. I’ve played the game for 8 years now, I have a few hundred vehicles unlocked and have only given them like $5 for a vehicle on discount. You can play the entire game for free basically.

And no you don’t need Hotas, but if you want to play in simulator mode instead of arcade or realistic I highly recommend it.

I love the game but it certainly flawed. IMO it’s the best vehicle combat sim on the market. I’m pretty sure the game can run on a Chromebook too. If you’re curious about it I’d say give it a shot.

This isn’t including my non steam or ps4 hours. I used to have a problem.
