A game with a good balance between realistic and arcade elements.
It can be frustrating at times, but that makes it all the more rewarding when you do manage to pull off that sweet shot into the weakspot, surviving a dogfight when the odds were against you, outplaying a stronger vehicle in an uptier, or being top tier in a match and not being able to play in a braindead way because you still can be punished.
The game has its issues, and isn't for everyone due to the concept of semi-realistic damage mechanics and grinding experience.
If you do not despise the lastly mentioned parts, I do recommend trying War Thunder.
