An ambitious game with great mechanics, a passionate online community, and the feeling that each time you log in, you're doing your small part to contribute to the war effort. It's the "butter fly" effect in action, each bullet, each vehicle, has to be manufactured and transported to the frontlines. This also causes you to be more cautious, as you don't want to blow up the tank that took you and your friends several hours to manufacture.

It is perhaps even more ambitious than ARMA at simulating logistics, while also being more accommodating to new players due to its top-down nature, requiring less tactile skill to succeed at.

Other pluses:
- no recurring subscription and the game isn't expensive (it goes for less than most games at retail)
- a dev team that continues to update and improve the game.
- not necessarily balanced all the time, but this is a plus in this regard: war isn't necessarily fair!

Cons:
- sometimes a toxic community, although the devs have addresses most of my concerns via quality of life updates and vehicle logs that make griefing/trolling in the game more difficult
