Big shiny modern vehicles the game advertises before throwing you into early WW2 vehicles.

because its one of a kind game that probably will never be replicated again

It's fun to kill enemies and earn rewards with friends.

"Men, all this stuff you hear about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle."
Just don't have to be an American to love the sting of battle. Especially when you can be sitting in your gaming chair with a beer or a Bloody Mary while fighting.
Then there's one thing you men will be able to say when this game is over and you get back home. Thirty years from now when you're sitting by your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks, 'What did you do in the great War Thunder game?' You won't have to cough and say, 'Well, your granddaddy shoveled ♥♥♥♥ in World of Tanks.'

Nothing like swatting a p-51 out of a dive with a 37mm-100mm HEI-T from 800m away

[Hotschi48]

Because there is no other game like this around.

The built-in reward mechanisms trigger endorphine kicks. These mechanisms are often used in free-to-play games to get players to stick with the game and spend money on premium content.

wait a minute I have been to Vegas. Playing nickle slot machine they brought me free hot dogs and Heineken
In Vegas I could buy a steak and egg breakfast for under $5.00
I knew a guy who went to Vegas in a $100,000 dollar car and went home on a $500,000 dollar bus
(I cannot speak about 2024 but around 2000 Vegas was a great place to be a hobo in (not a bum) Hobos don't ask for spare change they dig holes in construction sites for $40 a day and then go play nickle slot machines and eat $5.00 steak and egg breakfasts.

Human knowledge is constantly evolving. In the past, cocaine, tobacco and radioactive substances were touted as being good for your health.

Personally, I was rather surprised why video game addiction was not recognized as a mental illness much sooner. And to be honest, video game makers should all be required to at least display a warning on the loading screen.
