It is just an ahistorical grindfest, quickly becoming a boring drain of time, and if you are not careful, your money. It is not a flight simulator, so there is no realism to draw you in. It is fun for a day or two, and then unless you want to spend money to advance, you will be in uneven match after uneven match. For new players: DONT BOTHER with War Thunder. These are 'pay to win' aircraft, superior to normal aircraft at their same BR. The second incentive would be the 'premium aircraft' (in other words aircraft that are only available through purchase). Pay to play accelerates advancement to warp speed, which is the main incentive for spending money on the game. Advancing through the game is very tedious, requiring 'grinding' out battle after battle on the same maps, over and over again, in order to gain points to unlock new aircraft and crew abilities. Matches consistently put players up against other players with aircraft 1.6 to 2.0 BR higher, making them no contest affairs. A difference of 1.0 in BR is huge, and anything above 1.0 difference rapidly will become a turkey shoot. Difference in BR is huge, reflecting how fast airplanes fly, how maneuverable they are, and especially how lethal the weaponry is. And so on, with jets at BR 7.0 and beyond. A biplane, for example, will have BR 1.0. Planes are rated based on powerfulness with 'Battle Rating'. Matchmaking is horrible, and is probably the worst thing about the game. The game is ahistorical, with 1932 biplanes fighting Russian fighters from 1943, for example. Graphics are interesting, with aircraft paint schemes taken from coffee table books about aircraft.
