Is warthunder worth getting back into?

[Glizard]

I stopped playing warthunder a year ago or so due to how the dev team where just adding factions and not fixes to the game and so I'm a bit out of the loop of the current state of the game and so now I'm wondering if the game is worth getting back into for this returning player since the beta.

Same deal as last year, new country Israel with meh vehicles. They're bringing everyone back with A-10s and F-14s, not joking, they finally did it.

Besides that, the economy is slightly better, but they slashed RP gains as a result. Still as unbalanced as ever in some BRs.

I can deal with RP slash, I still don't understand why gaijin is adding in more factions it just complicates things.

A-10 and F-14s sounds alot better than adding in factions.

F-14 hasn't arrived yet, but the A-10 is okay. On jet maps they often get picked off before they make it to ground targets, but they can fight back hard, they have AIM9Ls which only F-5c can dodge head on in my experience.

In Sim, sadly, it's pretty bad. Slow on big maps and Russian radar seems to have 0 issue finding it even hugging the treetops

IMO economy got worse, even if you have a premium account you wont be making much profit from matches unless you are using vehicles with 1k repair. They are trying to get people back as mentioned above but its not worth it since they are always adding new vehicles at rank VI-VII in which causes players to give up and not motivated because of the harder to grind SL & RP. They also announced the introduction to Napalm bombs so Ground Battles will be empty since there is still no Tank Only mode because they are pretty much saying the game is a combined arms game as if every mode except for Air Battles is a World War mode which they have yet to fully implement after so many years.

Adding another nation is like adding another furnace instead of putting more fuel into the old ones.

Most of the Noteworthy tanks are in the game already... there there is only so much you can get out of the big WWII factions + Modern nations.

So adding another tree is a .."smart" thing to do to breath at least a bit of life back.

I also forgot to add that adding in New Countries only makes the game more political and less enjoyable to play.

Maybe they are trying to get more people to play air battles more than ground? I still don't understand gajins direction as they tend to say alot but their actions are odd to say the least.

Yes.
Great graphics.
New maps.
Fun new nations.

Frankly, only you can answer that. I've been playing War Thunder consistently since before it was available on Steam and have more or less always enjoyed my time with it.

Gaijin has its moments, but I like War Thunder for what it is and what it tries to do. Perfect by no means, but enjoyable enough to work for me.

Only thing for you to do is download it and see for yourself. If you enjoy it, you enjoy it. If you don't, you don't.

Here's a list of all the updates that have occurred that you may have missed.

No. With this trash BR +- 1.0

[ShinoAishi]

god no

[DarthBong420]

memory leak for some people after winds of ♥♥♥♥ update.

Would not recommend. If you have been out of the 'revolving door' consider doing yourself a favour and don't get back into it, unless you like the usual grind, matchmaking , economy and so on and on...
But to each his own - some people don't mind it as there is nothing around that offers what WT does. I'm not salty, but yeah enthusiasm for WT is starting to taper a bit. Have set some in game objectives for myself, once I get there am gonna get off the bandwagon for a while.

No. If I didn't have premium to spend I wouldn't play. I won't be renewing my premium as this game has gotten worse every patch since I started playing.

It's impossible to rank up with RP/SL slashing, surprise nerfs, surprise downtiers of crazy good tanks, etc. Just set it down and never return. Gaijin is arguably the greediest most poorly managed game company on the planet.

Hi!

We do provide fixes to the game on a mostly weekly basis, via our "It's Fixed" series. You can see this in our news posts here on Steam. We have also launched a brand new bug reporting platform: https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder which is used instead of the forum. This makes it much easier for our community to report bugs, and developers also respond from time to time on bug reports, creating a better communication channel between the community and developers on in-game issues and bugs. An example of that can be seen here: https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/pPKjzqWetUbk

Regarding your question about if it's worth to return, well, that's up to you.

Cheers!
