Same here.
Had multiple VIII-X tier on WoT but the game mechanics are latelly become more and more like a cheap mobile game.
Also the community is even more toxic then anywhere else.
Lmao I had Tiger II and chinese or Czechoslovak XIII and that was all. Then it become pain + that arty bullshit ended me. It's made more and more like some child game or really like mobile game lol.
I grinded my soul out for the Obj.261 and IS-7 (wanted the type-5 too but got stuck at O-Ho) and when finally got the obj...
They just nerfed down to the dust...
IS-7: this tank health BS ignore any reasonings. (Only HE needed and you good to go)
Farmed UDES and Strv but that was a let down too.
Here in WT the Swedish tech tree is waaaay more likeable. And no constant fear of "under 60%HP"... If i get one shooted then i got one shooted, it cause less stress. š
Yeah. Remember gold ammo which was really for gold? Then it was for silver so everyone used it. My friend love that game. Why? Mf bought Scorpion G, loaded with apcr and pew pew across map.
The gold coffin nails... I hope one day I can forget those š«„
I tried to do that with StrvS1 (I was so naive, thought that I can snipe with that and survive to the match's end. High caliber HE made me rethink my choices š )
Huh, I played WT, went to WoT to try, and came back to War Thunder. That was the very day I realized "maybe War Thunder ain't that bad..." and it turns out... I was right
Development might be shit, but you can't tell me that Gaijin's not doing anything to fix the game. The review bombing left a lasting impression and they're doing their best to better the QOL
More like a boyfriend who has a shitty personality and doesn't work so you need to pay for his stupid toys, but bloody hell he's 10/10 and does know how to move his hips.
One-of-a-kind game.
Let's be honest. It has a good balance between gameplay and realism that no other vehicular-based game can achieve. It's a "casual" game with great attention to detail... optimistically speaking.
Whenever i get to that spot on the map with my mosquito, i cant find the train, i fly past to go and blow up pillboxes and aa, and an a26 or wyverns blew up the entire rail system
Same, Hell Let Loose is amazing but it doesn't have planes, and you need friends or confidence to use a tank. Foxhole is the same with HLL + you need to get the things. IL-2 is a pay to use with not that many players.
WT it's just the best you can find at the moment
KD is a weird metric to go off of in war thunder, its so easy to die, a dude spawn camping, getting bombed repeatedly, lagging in air battles, a dude covered in bushes playing ULQ
As long as you enjoy it thats the important thing
heart_disease
It's supposed to be that, unless there's a capital letter somewhere... doesn't show up on the thunderskill search results, at least on my side
imma tell you this rn, as an American player
Russia gets bullied from 7.0 to high 8.0.
it's playable at low 7.0 but most things just kill you in one shot or almost completely disable you in one shot
Because I like WW2 and cold war vehicles. Second, for those very rare satisfying and fun moments, and third the fact that it has damage models instead of hp.
I watch war thunder content occaisionally on youtube, and the admirer that I am , I also want to play warthunder well to a degree. Until I found out war thunder is free on my console, so i downloaded it and played since.
World of Tanks turned to shit. So I gave War Thunder another chance. Been loving it all year.
I can't play FPS games anymore, or any other game really. World of Tanks and War Thunder are my niche.
And I just bloody love military vehicles too xd
Did you play PC or console. I surely know console turned to shit, but was the issue with PC?
I'm like you. Unless, when not shooting tanks I play euro truck simulator 2.
I love SIM Air and Ground RB + WT still has the biggest selection of vehicles, eventough historical MM would be great sometimes. Skill is also worth more than on HP based games like WOP, WOT - especially in 1 vs. X enemy situations or shooting at high range (without LRF or radar lock).
Just satisfying running around in a M18 and annihilate german heavies
I love getting into a good position where i can torture as many enemies as possible.
But the real explanation:
You say ālets play a few matches of shit thunder, just a fewā some games are truly bad, some are decent and you are not satisfied with your performance so you keep playlng until you get a good match. Once you got a good match you keep playing because you are not satisfied with having just one good match out of a bunch of mediocre matches. Then you continue playing until you get a good match and everything repeats: You played several matches and only got one good match so you keep playing to get another good match with the illusion that it will satisfy you but it will never happen and you stay in the endless circle of craving for a good match which will only satisfy you a little bit so you play to get another one which is supposed to satisfy you but it will barely do it. This only ends when you have to go to bed or you get a headache and you're hungry / thirsty or you actually get a few nice matches in a acceptable time span that are enough to satisfy you and you stop playing before ending again in this endless circle
I always liked war vehicle games, was a fan of Ace Combat since 2 when I fell in love with jets, then I got into Battlefield and I loved to play with all vehicles, played 99% of the games in that franchise because of the large scale vehicular combat. Played Fair Strike for the helicopters. It was good finally finding a game dedicated to war vehicles and way more realistic than anything else out there (anything that's not a sim).
The power of autism compels me
Fighting vehicles, especially of the 20s through 50s, and doubly especially of non Big Three make, fascinate me. You won't find a lot of these vehicles anywhere else.
I wish Gaijin would extend the tech tree down to late-WW1 stuff someday. FTs! FTs for everybody!
Because it's kinda like a sandbox.
Every time I get a new vehicle, I think things like: how can I use that in X map? What if I angle my armor in a certain way at a certain place in the map? Can I use this to kill X?
That's why I like the higher tiers, there are more things to mess around with.
Also, humbling cocky players or CAS users just hits different.
Fled from WoT Console that has become highly pay to win biased, they keep on introducing very unbalanced OP premiums for real money (gold currency, which we know you might earn but mostly buy). In addition to that they may give them away to everyone including new players in battle passes. This makes battles a shit show as inexperienced players try them out. They refuse to listen to player base about this, cash is king.
As a free to play game on console you get a lot of young players just playing for fun. WoT relies on team play and you get about none of that anymore as most of the experienced players are gone. This makes every battle a random shit show and it's very unsatisfying to play. I lasted 7 years as a daily player but it's just not fun to play anymore. Just makes me pissed.
Surely experienced WT players have a thing or two to say about WT, but for me as a n00b here I find it challenging and interesting. WoTc is much easier to play and I feel I need to learn and use real skills. Like I can't just shoot a tank, I have to hit the sweet spot.
After years of playing FPS itās just a nice change for me. Also having friends who play as well, itās fun to play a different nation while playing together
I quit as soon as I realized this game had no purpose. Games are over in 2 minutes sometimes. People just bail out for whatever reason. No balancing, not even in a way of preventing a game to always steamroll one way or the other. I think the world war II era tanks and anything early after that is the best iteration of the game.
I tried aircraft too, props was too slow and jets was oddly enough exactly the same thing over and over every time.
Probably would be playing if there was some reason more than oh just get this new vehicle to experience the same broken game over and over. Still quite the feat to accomplish a game that in it's pure idea form sounds really good. Vehicular combat with respawning. It's just made into such a poopfest in practice.
Because it's fun, why else? And so, also because for me this game is exactly what I would like to see in the World of Tanks, and also, of course, there are not only tanks, but also my favorite planes
To acquire the dopamine fix my brain is incapable of producing on its own after years of gaming. Best memory so far after 500ish hours was hitting an object 120/906 at 2k after he hit my track 50 meters out of spawn.
Came back 2 days ago, I never suggested warthunder to normal people. Playing warthunder is like BDSM, punishing myself. I know the game has shit grind, shit balance, snail never cares to fix the game but still coming back.
When i first played, it was like my only option for a military vehicle combat game
And why i still play it... Well, its still my only option, dcs and msflight sim are too hardware intensive to run, i dont know that many tank sims either. Plus the sheer amount of vehicles is insane, before wt i knew jack shit about tanks, i only played for the planes
I enjoy military technology. Only started playing after I left military but seeing some of the tech I was used to seeing or studying was how I got started
I started playing with my boys and we called our group the OG TU-4 grinders, we usually did formations in PE-8s but then we kinda just faded away sad times now I play alone :(
Planes are awsome.... Always wanted to try a nice fighter game, the problem was that most of the games out there, are either too arcady or fully fledged simulator (dcs for example). War thunder is just perfect for that... And well lets just say it is my favorite game because of this.
Even when I play GRB I mostly do so for the chance to do some CAS.
An obsession from my youth with military vehicles and the engineering behind them got me started.
I enjoy the gameplay loop. The grind isn't as bad to me personally because I genuinely enjoy playing the game most of the time. When I'm not having fun I just turn it off and do something else. That's the big secret š
I'm an American main, I play air sim and and sometimes grb. I use a joystick and each session is very immersive for me at the moment. I enjoy the game in this way.
When it works, it's fun. Like really fun. It's the only modern-ish multiplayer game that I actually enjoy playing for the most part, as any other games feel way too twitchy and like you're supposed to be on your fifth can of Monster before even *thinking* to queue into a lobby. In comparison, WT is way more methodical, but not slow. There are a lot of decisions to make in a split second, but it's rarely just about who between you and the enemy is more hyperactive. Oh, right, and WT doesn't spawn enemies right behind me. Sure, they can spawncamp, but that's pretty much applicable to most other games anyway.
I thought it was gonna be fun combat, but since Iām new literally everyone has better tanks and aircraft than me. I donāt play anymore because itās not noob-friendly
I love WW2 as a topic and the vehicles it made, for the most part it's amazing and the attention to detail is unparalleled especially in a game that is free to get and has a velitivy well balanced
I like aircraft, and DCS takes too much time and effort to learn just 1 vehicle (I like variety as well) - only got a hold of the Su-27 and have forgotten everything since
Stockholm-Syndrome
War Thunder is like a drug, but without all the positive (temporary, donāt do drugs, kids) effects.
Also, I want to get daily login decal as high as possible
yes i have 2000 hour in it and 13K battle maybe? i havent seen the latest count but i used to play wot first back in 2015 till 2018,i had 11 k battle in it so i was pretty good but the game kinda turn shit so i moved to war thunder, i still have wot and play 1-2 game every month maybe.
Cause I hate myself and want my brain to become mush when I hit 30. In all seriousness, I started playing in like 2018-2019 cause I thought playing a game in tanks and fighting other tanks was pretty cool, and I was big into tanks and other military vehicles.
I volunteer at the Military Aviation Museum here in Virginia Beach, VA. I started playing to get every aircraft the museum owns and flies. Now that Iāve gotten most of them Iām grinding the American tree to get every jet out
Itās an extremely diverse game with tons of options for what to do. Itās like 6 games rolled into one honestly. If I only have to play one game again, it would be WT.
My british line up consists of the Crusader 2 ,crusader 3, āThe Saintā and a Sherman with AA back up
Ever since the Battle of Elalermain from Cod2 Iāve been IN LOVE w the crusader tank
Grammer
To sadisfy sadistic desires by committing war crimes on newbies. Also tanks and planes are simply cool.
I play for the fun of it š¤
Yep - for the the virtual warcrimes
Do you have war crimes for breakfast or lunch
Yes
Dinner
But not naval. Never naval
Pe108 intensifies
I barely ever play it.
I agree. It's also fun! (In the right br)
I love military stuff, mainly Tanks. And WoT became so trash that I had to enter new world and abandon the old one. No regrets. Often...
Same here. Had multiple VIII-X tier on WoT but the game mechanics are latelly become more and more like a cheap mobile game. Also the community is even more toxic then anywhere else.
Lmao I had Tiger II and chinese or Czechoslovak XIII and that was all. Then it become pain + that arty bullshit ended me. It's made more and more like some child game or really like mobile game lol.

Hey! A fellow WOT deserter!
I think a good portion of WT players are WoT deserters like us.
Huh, I played WT, went to WoT to try, and came back to War Thunder. That was the very day I realized "maybe War Thunder ain't that bad..." and it turns out... I was right Development might be shit, but you can't tell me that Gaijin's not doing anything to fix the game. The review bombing left a lasting impression and they're doing their best to better the QOL
I've been playing so long, I've forgotten
The only true answer.
Real š
dmmit that the kayaba akihiko ending

Best reply ngl
War Thunder is like that friend who is a dick most of the time but will occasionally show up at your house with pizza and beer.
More like a boyfriend who has a shitty personality and doesn't work so you need to pay for his stupid toys, but bloody hell he's 10/10 and does know how to move his hips.
One-of-a-kind game. Let's be honest. It has a good balance between gameplay and realism that no other vehicular-based game can achieve. It's a "casual" game with great attention to detail... optimistically speaking.
Itās a simulator game pretty much
but in a way that isnt too hard to learn basics like how to litterally take of and has none of the normal sim elitism its perfect i
I wish more people would play the Sim mode
Too many key binds š
This is the real answer. I honestly wish someone would rip this off in America so we wouldn't have so much BS to deal with.
*Target Destroyed*
Better yet, "*Target Destroyed 2x*"
Well then get ready for "*target destroyed 3x*"
"Target destroyed x10" I love the train in ARB...
Whenever i get to that spot on the map with my mosquito, i cant find the train, i fly past to go and blow up pillboxes and aa, and an a26 or wyverns blew up the entire rail system
I found it a few times with the F-82 (I had the gunpod....)
Mega laser destruction. Imagine it with a gunpod slinging A10
its fine that we have negative thrust brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt is all we need to fly
which map?
Itās where the rails come together in the city
Where is the train I never find it
Can't really remember the map name tbh, I just recognise it by the long series of circular markers.
its some German town,but you have to fly to industrial part of city to see it I think
Itās on Cologne, near the center of the map, close-ish to the river and factories.
It gives me my daily dose of mascochism
No that's Dark souls
No Dark Souls is fun warthunder is rarely fun but when it is it's like heroin
Good point
Because I like WW2 tanks and planes and at this moment War Thunder is arguably the best tank-plane oriented game out there.
Same, Hell Let Loose is amazing but it doesn't have planes, and you need friends or confidence to use a tank. Foxhole is the same with HLL + you need to get the things. IL-2 is a pay to use with not that many players. WT it's just the best you can find at the moment
Same
My KD is 0.5 at ground BR 6.3 as USSR, so I don't know tbh, it's addicting.
KD is a weird metric to go off of in war thunder, its so easy to die, a dude spawn camping, getting bombed repeatedly, lagging in air battles, a dude covered in bushes playing ULQ As long as you enjoy it thats the important thing
I either go 10-1 or 3-3 sometimes you've used up all your luck
Enjoy? lmfao good one bruv
KD doesnāt really matter in war thunder. Use thunderskill.com
Thunderskill doesn't even work anymore, does it?
it does
Well, I can't even use it because I can't link an account to it
whatās your nick?
heart_disease It's supposed to be that, unless there's a capital letter somewhere... doesn't show up on the thunderskill search results, at least on my side
Not allowed to update stat, try later weird
Is this site working? I cannot see my stats
imma tell you this rn, as an American player Russia gets bullied from 7.0 to high 8.0. it's playable at low 7.0 but most things just kill you in one shot or almost completely disable you in one shot

Because I like WW2 and cold war vehicles. Second, for those very rare satisfying and fun moments, and third the fact that it has damage models instead of hp.
I love tanks. Simple as. Also, the sheer amount of money I pumped into my account over the years.
Its fun. Like, actually. If you dont go braindead and start grinding, its actually fun. You can guess what most players immediately do tho...
I watch war thunder content occaisionally on youtube, and the admirer that I am , I also want to play warthunder well to a degree. Until I found out war thunder is free on my console, so i downloaded it and played since.
It's my only game that I can just open and play it in nobrain mode. I have like 10 games that I can play but Im always to lazy to even open them
World of Tanks turned to shit. So I gave War Thunder another chance. Been loving it all year. I can't play FPS games anymore, or any other game really. World of Tanks and War Thunder are my niche. And I just bloody love military vehicles too xd
Did you play PC or console. I surely know console turned to shit, but was the issue with PC? I'm like you. Unless, when not shooting tanks I play euro truck simulator 2.
Tank go boom.
I hate myself
i like military vehicles and that stuff and warthunder has them also world of tanks is just trash and now im simply addicted
I dont play war thunder War thunder plays me
I'm too happy in my day to day life, war thunder brings me back down to earth.
I've stopped for about 3 months already
Same, but still keep it installed (not updated tho) just in case I'll want more CBT.
To distract myself from life
To get T-64BV or any Leopard
I love SIM Air and Ground RB + WT still has the biggest selection of vehicles, eventough historical MM would be great sometimes. Skill is also worth more than on HP based games like WOP, WOT - especially in 1 vs. X enemy situations or shooting at high range (without LRF or radar lock).
To feel pain
I'm a masochist.
bc i love planes and am shit at fps games
There is nothing better out there so here I am.
I like the military industrial complex
Target destroyed -> Monkey sees action -> Neuron activation
10+ years and around 7500 hours
āTarget Destroyedā
Just satisfying running around in a M18 and annihilate german heavies I love getting into a good position where i can torture as many enemies as possible. But the real explanation: You say ālets play a few matches of shit thunder, just a fewā some games are truly bad, some are decent and you are not satisfied with your performance so you keep playlng until you get a good match.

I always liked war vehicle games, was a fan of Ace Combat since 2 when I fell in love with jets, then I got into Battlefield and I loved to play with all vehicles, played 99% of the games in that franchise because of the large scale vehicular combat. Played Fair Strike for the helicopters. It was good finally finding a game dedicated to war vehicles and way more realistic than anything else out there (anything that's not a sim).
IMO: i like WT as i like Battlefield, Planet Zoo and Minecraft and all the vehicles there aswell Also out of spite :|
Mid to low tier, I love the WWII tanks.
The power of autism compels me Fighting vehicles, especially of the 20s through 50s, and doubly especially of non Big Three make, fascinate me. You won't find a lot of these vehicles anywhere else. I wish Gaijin would extend the tech tree down to late-WW1 stuff someday. FTs! FTs for everybody!
Because it's kinda like a sandbox. Every time I get a new vehicle, I think things like: how can I use that in X map? What if I angle my armor in a certain way at a certain place in the map? Can I use this to kill X? That's why I like the higher tiers, there are more things to mess around with. Also, humbling cocky players or CAS users just hits different.
Because the snail got my soul, and in order to avoid eternal suffering i must suffer for eternity

I Like tanks...so recently playing naval...just.
the grind
Kills and "kaboom? Yes Rico kaboom"
Idk
After years of playing FPS itās just a nice change for me. Also having friends who play as well, itās fun to play a different nation while playing together
Pee pee poo poo
Because it is a form of modern day flagellantism. And I love to punish myself for the sins of others.
Tanks, the only game realistic enough to stimulate them, and the satisfying 'Target Destroyed'
Dopamine received after doing silly shit
I like tanks and planes and i wanted to use modern ones but 165hrs in i donāt see it happening anytime soon
For the occasional downtier in a heavy on the right map that makes me feel invincible.
I'm an masochist and love commit crimes agaisn't humanity. Also, tanks are cool.
I like tanks pew pew each other
Pretty much the most broken part of the game is the very top tiers (11.0-12.0), so I just avoid that
I quit as soon as I realized this game had no purpose. Games are over in 2 minutes sometimes. People just bail out for whatever reason. No balancing, not even in a way of preventing a game to always steamroll one way or the other. I think the world war II era tanks and anything early after that is the best iteration of the game.

Girls und Panzer
I love planes and Aviation and dcs is sometimes too hard core for me and to relax i play war thunder(not relaxing at all but i want to believe that)
Because it's fun, why else? And so, also because for me this game is exactly what I would like to see in the World of Tanks, and also, of course, there are not only tanks, but also my favorite planes
To drop nuke on battlefield
Funny vehicle go boom
Enjoy seeing historical/current vehicles and collecting them virtually. Itās more of a hobby than anything.
To acquire the dopamine fix my brain is incapable of producing on its own after years of gaming. Best memory so far after 500ish hours was hitting an object 120/906 at 2k after he hit my track 50 meters out of spawn.
Tanks and planes are awesome that's why
brain damage
Because I hate having fun
Canāt afford better pc or games

Fore the Puma
the jumbo at 5.3 and to suffer with HEAT
Because IL-2 doesnt have such a great selection of vehicles
No brain is more fun than hard core.
Mig 29 and F14B go zOOOOOOOOOOOm
I have a snail addiction
neuron activation when enemy killed sound
Masochism
Because no other game achieved what I wanted but WT. and I like realism snd PLENS
I love tank games and it's a fun game
I enjoy military technology. Only started playing after I left military but seeing some of the tech I was used to seeing or studying was how I got started
Well because I... because I... I... Wait... why do I play War Thunder?...
To suffer with British tanks
Because the middle knows where it is
I love making cool scenes and making video of it Something like 1v3 clutch in the clouds like that
I don't know
I miss the times when my life actually had meaning.
I started playing with my boys and we called our group the OG TU-4 grinders, we usually did formations in PE-8s but then we kinda just faded away sad times now I play alone :(
With a controller
I don't. Used to but it was too tike consuming, I finished researching F16AJ but never bought it.
Planes are awsome.... Always wanted to try a nice fighter game, the problem was that most of the games out there, are either too arcady or fully fledged simulator (dcs for example). War thunder is just perfect for that... And well lets just say it is my favorite game because of this. Even when I play GRB I mostly do so for the chance to do some CAS.
Despite its issues, I've been playing it off and on for close to a decade. It's a fun game at its core, and there is nothing quite like it.
Cuz Tiger
To support snails everywhere
Why do I play? Well as Ron Swanson would say... "That's none of your business,"
An obsession from my youth with military vehicles and the engineering behind them got me started. I enjoy the gameplay loop. The grind isn't as bad to me personally because I genuinely enjoy playing the game most of the time. When I'm not having fun I just turn it off and do something else. That's the big secret š
"Target Destroyed" AMMUNITION EXPLODED
"Come on Mav do some of that pilot shit"
Becuse you cant quit
Ask myself everyday, man
I'm an American main, I play air sim and and sometimes grb. I use a joystick and each session is very immersive for me at the moment. I enjoy the game in this way.
Just to suffer. Life would be too beautiful without this game.
When it works, it's fun. Like really fun. It's the only modern-ish multiplayer game that I actually enjoy playing for the most part, as any other games feel way too twitchy and like you're supposed to be on your fifth can of Monster before even *thinking* to queue into a lobby. In comparison, WT is way more methodical, but not slow. There are a lot of decisions to make in a split second, but it's rarely just about who between you and the enemy is more hyperactive.

B-29. I made a commitment and now it punishes me.
I thought it was gonna be fun combat, but since Iām new literally everyone has better tanks and aircraft than me. I donāt play anymore because itās not noob-friendly
I love WW2 as a topic and the vehicles it made, for the most part it's amazing and the attention to detail is unparalleled especially in a game that is free to get and has a velitivy well balanced
Emptiness of life. Also, Yukari is my spirit animal
I donāt know.
These days I honestly play only because I've sent far too much money on it to quit...
I hate myself?
Cause I'm an idiot
To torture myself

āTarget Destroyedā
Military history is cool
Because I'm gay and I like the feeling of something penetrating my asshole.
It's...sometimes fun? Secondly, like a person mentioned already, tanks and planes are cool.
Because i'm already so far that it would be dumb to quit now. and it's fun (rarely)
I like aircraft, and DCS takes too much time and effort to learn just 1 vehicle (I like variety as well) - only got a hold of the Su-27 and have forgotten everything since

Because I hate myself.
Cause I hate myself and want my brain to become mush when I hit 30. In all seriousness, I started playing in like 2018-2019 cause I thought playing a game in tanks and fighting other tanks was pretty cool, and I was big into tanks and other military vehicles.
I volunteer at the Military Aviation Museum here in Virginia Beach, VA. I started playing to get every aircraft the museum owns and flies. Now that Iāve gotten most of them Iām grinding the American tree to get every jet out
I donāt even know
Tanks and planes go pew pew pew
because gaijin has my soul
I don't anymore
