War Thunder is one of the greatest game ever and made by the worst company ever. The Gaijin company spares no effort to lose its players. I say it and I mean it. Here is why.

"Furthermore, negative review bombing will not lead to altering or nullifying in-game prices - if the game is shut down, nobody wins." What does that even mean? Do you think we'll be scared and back down? We don't need to win; I just want you to lose.If you continue to provoke the player base, as you must know from various other games such as EFT, it will be inevitable. We actively contribute to this game, and in fact, the Gaijin company should be thanking us for playing despite such poor management.

The game is sufficiently captivating, its graphics are magnificent, and its physics and modeling are as well. However, when it comes to game management, you once again realize how truly terrible the game is.

The recent updates brought by Gaijin clearly indicate that they are determined to make this game even worse.

I miss the old days of the game, when we engaged in fleet battles, played without worrying about the next match, and when the time and effort we invested had value. Would I want to invest money and spend my time on a game with such poor management? Nah, thanks.

03/13/2024 - Still has downsides but they have progressed a lot since then. So far getting better.

Allow me to give you the summary of this game .

First off, a word of caution: STAY CLEAR from this game.

This game is overseen by a company that is called Firefly Studios and turns a blind eye to its own rules / user agreement and GDPR laws. You can easily procure(trust me so easy) cheats and bot clients online, ranging from $5 to $250, giving players unfair advantages. What's worse is, there is literally a network of people where you can pay the game admins to permanently ban others for lots of $$$'s OR put peoples accounts under investigation for less $$$'s OR you can buy in-game currency called Crowns at absurdly low prices, making a mockery of fair play basically.

Over the years, they have neglected its own rules and its own player base. They have completely tarnished the gaming experience. This game has its own uniqiue in its combination of castle designs, attack formations, and village management within an MMO setting. However, if you're looking to play this game, Find yourself a better game that you can waste your time on.

As of 2023, SHK has become impossible to enjoy without constantly shelling out either for crowns or those cheats i mentioned above. And even if you do, your skills doesn't matter because your opponents will simply pay to have you banned. Easy game isn't it xd

Again between 2017-2023, There are known exploits that have been reported multiple times during this game. Exploits like allowing cheaters to breach your account, read your in-game mails, they can know how much resources you got. and THE WORSE, if you were playing this game in 2016, MOST likely your e-mail is stolen because there has been a data-breach in this game and over a-million accounts along with its password was stolen. What's more is, these cheats remain unaddressed, continuously ruining the game for everyone up to this very day.

Skill and strategy have been completely overshadowed by cheap-in game transactions, paying for bans, bots and cheating.

From someone who is started playing this game in 2010, then deeply invested in this game since 2013 and spent countless hours on regular client and Steam.
