I'm starting to regret this game
I started this game in 2017. and i got to a certain level without getting premium. And I supported the game with 3x 25k ,10x 5k , 16x 2.5k, 42x 1k , 97x 150, 17x 500 Golden eagles to make the game better. I played the game for more than 9200 hours. At this point, I started to regret these things. Progress in the game is in a much more difficult place than when we started. The game is currently unplayable without premium. It takes almost 5-10 hours to research updates for tanks. It takes weeks to research a vehicle. I'm so sorry about this game. a complete disappointment

I wouldn't regret the video game development you have no control over, if I were you, I would regret the TIME you spent, which is roughly 5 years Full Time Employment in hours.

Or full time self-development. Full time learning other skills - actual, real skills, not fake video game skills.

I say this to myself as well, an avid Gamer since the 80's. As a general barometer, I think if anyone is topping 20 hours/ week in video gaming, SOMETHING is wrong in your life. Even if you are disabled at home, there are ways to get out of the house available to you.

non-premium user here that started the game in 2014: The game is totally playble as free to play if you know what you're doing.

That said, I only have around 4000 hours...so I'm probably a noob compared to someone who played 9000hrs in such short amount of time...

Guys don't worry he probably just let the game open all time on his computer lol ! But anyway he's free to spend his time how he wants to. It is indeed just not fun playing the game right now. I do need some progression in the game.

Right now the SL system is just dead...even with a premium account, premium vehicles and skills it's way too long right now. The worst thing is that after 1-2 kills it gives nothing to respawn. A nuke used to give you around 200k - 300k depending on multiples factors. Now you get 100k.

good point, I hope it was mostly just a waste of electricity and not excessive hours of human life potential sunk into video game addiction.

I've never disputed if someone is free to spend time as they want to. A criticism of an addiction and reminder of alternatives is not an attack on the person's freedom.

I'm still having fun and positive SL / RP into Rank IV USA air. Once that hits the wall, I'll switch to other nations if I still want to War Thunder.

Go play top tier only without leaving matches as F2P and I want to see you turn a profit no matter what.

I also want to see you research a nation from tier 1 to top tier in 2-3 months without premium or premium vehicle. Simply as that is the amount of time even MMOs require you to invest to get to end-game.

Recommend writing a steam review about it

All you need to see is "Gaijin in - The Boy who cried Wolf" trust me... 3000 Views and 353 likes on a 68 subscriber account do not lie.

You only offer 60 seconds of your time but I promise after that you know everything about this game.

I respect your opinion. But the game has long since lost its free-to-play status.

Admitting your mistakes is the first step to recovery. I want to encourage you for taking the first step!

the behavior of the developers has made it clear that they just view the players as an obstacle between them and their money.
