Leaving a thumbs down not because I hate this game, but because I love it so and expect better from the company behind it. Thousands of vehicles, great visuals, and fun (albeit repetitive) gameplay, but Gaijin refuses to fix many of the core issues plaguing the game. While the economy in-game has never really affected me outside of two or three times, just because of how I play the game, that hasn't stopped many, many other players from experiencing the issue. Naval has so much potential, but it's a bot-ridden mess due to SL farming because of the economic issues, Chinese bots run rampant across naval and aerial gamemodes, and new players can hop in a brand new shiny top-tier vehicle and essentially feed the enemy team kills. I agree that F2P games need revenue streams, but Gaijin is going about those in completely the wrong way, and as one of the biggest whales in my squadron, I'd gladly pay even more than I already have been if Gaijin gets their ♥♥♥♥ together and takes what potential this game has and makes it a reality instead of beating the playerbase over the head with ignoring the core flaws War Thunder has had for the past half decade. I joined WT Just before 1.79 "Project X", and I plan to stick with WT for many years more, but I refuse to be stepped on repeatedly and just accept my fate.
