WT or WOT help!

[MrEvil]

What game are more people playing wot or wt? I can't choose what to play, both games have their nice sides.

[CyberStonka]

Obviously You should select War Thunder

Hm wonder what people will answer on a WT community.. WT has 170k online according to in game, 85k via Steam. WoT through Steam says 5k players but I'm guessing either that's bugged or a way smaller proportion of WoT players use Steam to play.

I prefer WT because f--k hp bars and the weird spotting etc. Also because combined battles even though that has its ups and downs

[Akagi]

This game is better. More grindy but at least you don't need to buy premium ammo in order to win

[MrEvil]

Thank you for your answer. I also wonder why WT is so unpopular on twitch. Also the game seems better to me.

I watched a few WoT videos and I am always "WTF" I think WT has much better visual appeal and is easier to understand what you need to do. And while WT has its own P2W crowd (either side it does not matter) WoT is clearly P2W if something as simple as ammo costs actual money. (I think there is also a repair aspect involved)

World of Tanks used to be good. But now it's just a rapidly growing cluster F. Sure as hell they've gutted clan wars and the campaign especially. Warthunder has it's problems... Especially regarding it's damage/penetration calculations which have a bad habit of being wildly random, whacky and inconsistent rather frequently. But it's not a total RNG ♥♥♥♥ fest like world of tanks is, feels like a slot machine every time you fire your gun.

I haven't played WoT in years but as someone with thousands of hours in both I'd say obviously WT.

At this point WoT is the inferior game by nearly every conceivable metric.

[Jaes]

Honestly, that's your personal preference. Obviously, most folks here are gonna say War Thunder. WoT can be fun, but it just doesn't scratch the itch that War Thunder does for me, especially with the combined arms nature of the game.

completely unbiased input here thank you for the advice

If WoT is anything like the mess it was when I left years ago, I'd day away. Things like super expensive premium gold type 59 tanks seal clubbing early BT tanks. It was a bloody farce.

WT also has its issues, especially with some poorly placed premiums, but not at the same level as WoT. Granted the devs seem to becoming quite terrible and starting to rely on the economics of frustration.

I left WoT in 2014; but your comment brings back memories: Hooking up with other Type 59s then rushing together on a rampage, literally swarming enemy team players.

That said: even with all its issues and frustrations, WT is still the better game of the two (imo).

[Rats Offtoya]

They are different games. I suggest you watch gameplay of both and make an informed decision that way.

You're going to primarily going to get bias towards this game here.

I like both, but lean more towards this game.

very hard to believe WT has 170k players peak considering how bad queue times are.

170K divided between the different regional servers; then game modes; then BR within game modes.... It would seem there's not that many players in queue that meet the specific MM criteria for a given game.

Also there's probably a good chunk of those who just have the client open but aren't actively queuing all the time. Though I must say I never feel like queue times are an issue, except for some reason when trying to play Israel.. During EU off peak hours I just queue for US as well.
