RUN!!!!

Overall: 3/10
Graphics and models: 8/10 (DCS is what 10/10 looks like)
Gameplay: 2/10
Developer: 0/10

I don't recommend this game and give it a 3/10 sharply trending towards 1/10. (To my credit much of my game time was played when this game was better, and monetization was mostly cosmetic, at it's peak it was a solid 8/10)

Pros:
- "Free to play" game
- Beautiful vehicle models
- Massive vehicle library
- Graphics are good
- Is fairly well optimized (I play 4k 144hz and still have headroom on a 7900XTX)

Cons:
- Among the most obvious examples of "Pay To Win" AND "Pay To Progress" in gaming period:
- Premium vehicles (That cost $20-$80) are so powerful that 90% of earnable vehicles are not
competitive.
- Premium Account ($) is required to finish a tech tree. One DAY of premium account will give you the
same result of WEEKS of playing free.
- Global vehicle stats are intentionally hidden to hide the balancing issues with P2W vehicles (TURMS-T,
Obj279, LeoA1A1 L/44, TAM 2IP, 2S38). Last I saw, Thunderskill puts the 279 at a 65% win rate! LOL! It
might even be worse!

Pay -> Win 65% of games.... need i say more???

- Developer and mod team silences all criticism of the game and BANS players for any critiques of the game.
A mod named "Wolfman" bans and threatens to ban anyone who criticizes the game in any way.
- The Game is dying: Dwindling player base and longer queue times are hard to ignore even if the dev places
a silly "150k online" banner in the corner.
- Bots! have also never seen bots in this game until the last year or so. Now, there are multiple in each match
driving high tier premiums vehicles.

Competitive Integrity:

- This game has no competitive scene. It would be hilarious it would be to see a 15 vs 15 of $60 vehicles.
- Game modes and maps are terrible (1/10) and more often than not, the winner is decided before the game
begins due to horrific geographical balancing. (Looking at you Berlin, Normandy, Aral Sea, and Mozdok)
- Every game begins and ends unceremoniously. Everyone randomly spawns in to start and like 90% of
players leave before the game even ends. EVERY high tier game ends in a landslide blowout.
- Vehicle balancing was showing signs of improving and then was stunningly and completely blown up by
high tier premium vehicles that are way better than free-to-play counterparts.
- Ground forces matches are entirely decided in the air. Most of your deaths will come from a plane dropping
a bomb on you or a hellfire missile fired from an Apache.

TL;DR This developer sold out long ago. Silences and bans those who criticize them and desperately tries to farm money from players by ruining their game intentionally.

Don't play this game
