I've played the game for a big while, and I loved it, but Gaijin seems dead set on destroying it.

Horrible BR changes, political ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, horrible balance, P2W aspects and much more.

The battle rating isn't based on vehicle stats, but on player stats, leading to vehicles being ranked lower than they should be, (German Tanks and US planes), leading to major balance issues.

Gaijin fails to ban racism, homophobia and all the like, but the moment you insult Putin or the CCP you get nuked into oblivion.

Gaijin has no idea how to balance vehicles, for example adding the A-10 Warthog, which was horrible at maneuvering, but absolutely godly in terms of ordinance, making regular fighters practically useless, even though they take more skill (and are almost at the same BR).

Economy changes that outright scream "if you don't pay you don't play", adding overpowered premiums like the 2S38 and BMP-2M, mostly for the Russian tree too (look back at the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥), also bushes.

If you are thinking of starting to play War Thunder at this point in time, don't. Maybe after they stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the game up, but not now.

Will I continue playing the game? Yes, I will. I may not like it the way it is, so I try to avoid the really horrible parts of it. But new players shouldn't subject themselves to that.
