Okay hear me out the developers have not given a ♥♥♥♥ for years they don't listen to us and when they do they either fix it and make something else break or ♥♥♥♥ it up more

So here a more detailed review. i'll be covering most of my game-play experiences and stuff I've picked up along the way.

Uptiering: Now this is a major ♥♥♥♥ over in this game, when you're starting out it's fine but when you reach 5.3+ you can get a full up-tier for example you can be in a WW2 T-34-85 and you could see US tanks using HEATFS and Tiger II tanks destroying you line up and you will get screwed over because of this so it leads to an unfair match with spawn campers.

CAS: now if you don't know what CAS is it's Close Air Support and in this game it's the worst ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idea, you could kill someone camping for them only to come back with 1k KG worth of bombs and blow you to the moon, adding onto that if your team isn't throwing you're getting spawn camped as i said in the paragraph above and with the addition of CAS you can't fight your way out of it.

The Pain of Grinding: I've been playing for a while and i haven't even come close to hitting top tier now i know you people are going to be like "Well you're just trash just get good" Well let me tell you something if you're trying to get to a tank you like or grind for a certain tank it's painful, the match reward system is so unforgiving you can play a good match and only get 6k RP (Without premium) so for casual players it's not worth playing. and repair costs for tanks are to high for certain tanks for example the T-44 is 7k but the T44-100 is only can be from 3 770 → 5 100 SL, This can make you broke if you don't play well or don't spend SL's wisely.

Spawn protection/time: Now i've said it before and i'll say it again spawn camping litters this game and war thunders dev team have don't nothing about it, the protection time you get is to small and you'll get picked off as soon as they see you fire your MG or main gun. Now for spawn time half the time it's not to bad but in some servers you have to wait 5-10 seconds now i know that isn't a lot but if you want to help your team from spawn campers it's not ideal.

Map design: Some maps just shouldn't be for WW2 tanks, there are some maps in WT that are too big for WW2 tanks and if that's all you play you could get into a match were these maps are made for MBT's, now in large maps you can get snipped halfway across the map by some ♥♥♥♥♥ boi camping in a bush and if that's your thing than you're more than welcome to do it.

Overpressure: A recent update has buffed bombs, HEATFS, HEAT, some APHE and most importantly HE, It has it's pros and cons
Pros:
replace hull break

Cons:
you can be far away from a bomb or HE and still get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over

Auto cannons: So low BR and high BR both have this problem but there's two major nations I've seen with cannons that make this game unbearable now if you start as Germany you get the PZ.IIC DAK and it's painful to come up against as it just shreds most tanks it comes across and in low BR it isn't fun. and now for Italy it as the Otomatic AA gun that shoots APFSDS enough said. (There's also the US HSTVL but that's for another day)

Overall this game as a lot to fix and it has many players leaving and new ones turn away after they see how it really plays one more thing i might add the community is toxic and team mates kill you for no reason it's a problem in it's self.

But if you're willing to give this game a try than go ahead I'm not stopping you.
