"War thunder is one of the best siege weaponry games out there with aspects for casual arcade and simulation"

War thunder definitely hits a lot of good marks. Firstly the game carries a wide choice of realistic vehicles which are extremely detailed to the smallest of details. The game looks beautiful on both the airplane and tank gamemode, the port is quite good. It runs fairly well and has a lot of options.

The game is not pay to win, it definitely keeps the balance of different tanks and planes well. The grinding in this game however eventually ends up getting quite tiring and you will get bored because of this. Unless you pay your way through EXP. I found the game itself in Arcade to be quite easy, the controls are solid, animations very good. The damage system is realistic and not like WoT where it is simply about healthbars. You can actually fire at parts of the tank.

The customization of the vehicles are good, however if you want to make your own 'skin' you require basic photoshop or pain.net knowledge to actually do so at all. It isn't very user friendly. The game sometimes encourages players to camp in their bases, this is not good. Certainly since the addition of depositing planes in a tank battle. Which made me quit tank battles, it is a stupid change. You have to stand still, meaning you have to camp to deposit planes. Before this update people were already going way too much for the kills rather than actually winning the battle.

I think there is definitely a lack of solid content like maps. Even with the latest addition the maps are still in great lack. I'd also like the crew team stats to change as it does not explain the user what to upgrade.

Overall the game is quite solid and will entertain you well. Certainly for a free to play game.
I rate this game an 7.8/10, well worth your time.
