War Thunder (2013 Video Game)

Terrible dynamics of extremes
16 January 2023
I have over 10K battles invested in this game. And throughout my experiences I can tell you that the Russian tanks are heavily favored. Reason for that is they get more favorable shots they do penetrations and some extreme areas where the shots normally don't penetrate. And they can kill tanks with glancing blows no other country can do that in the game. Also the map of extremes where you can just see everybody on AB battles takes all of the Tactical and strategic fun out of the game. Spotting somebody from a thousand meters away that's not even in your line of sight makes the game too hard. You can't set to jump anybody you can't set up an ambush because, your tank can be spotted through walls through buildings through anything however Russian tanks don't get spotted very easily another Dynamic which is heavily favored I don't know if it's because it's a russian-made game or what it is exactly. I know it sounds like I'm complaining I'm not I have played the game with all countries and all fairness. And I understand the Dynamics for example British early tanks do not have explosive rounds until rank maybe two or three where they start to get them. Russian tanks have extreme load times and poor accuracy but can kill with glancing blows and penetrate in the damnedest areas. The Germans as Superior as they are offensively they have low survivability when hit. And for some reason their parties seem to take longer to recover. As far as the realistic battles go, it's another level of extremes it's a steep learning curve and it's also very unforgiving. The biggest problem with the game would be the cross platform issue. You have guys who play on mouse and keyboard and have severe advantages when it comes to aiming over console players. The simple fact that on Council you have a constantly disappearing reticle when it Blends into the backgrounds it doesn't give you Fair Vantage of sight. The reticle appears and disappears constantly. I thought it was a leveling up issue but now that I have my cruise into the levels of seventies and '80s with vision and targeting maxed out the problem still exists. Geishing has shifted from making a quality war game to making more of a money maker and is taking a lot of the quality out of the game by doing so. Maybe you'll feel differently but that's just my opinion.
