is it worth it?
I have known the game for a long time, but I only started playing seriously recently. I really like the game but I wanted to ask people who play a lot and for a long time: is it worth it? Lately I've been wasting a lot of time and money and I wanted to know if it's really worth it. So what do you think guys that play for a long time?

At the end of the day the only person who knows that answer is you.
To one player, spending no money in the past 5 years may be worth it.
To another, spending $100 and getting 10 hours of playtime might be worth it.
Or $50 and 4 years of play time.
List goes on.

I've played since 2013, I typically spend about $100 a year when the big sales roll around. Though I didn't really spend anything that I can recall until 2015/2016. Then again I have over 8k hours on steam and more before WT was on steam, and I still play with squaddies and friends weekly.
Depends on your goals and expectations. Specify what exactly you want, so that it's easier to judge whether time you're going to spend will be worth it or not.
r u looking to go modern or just low-medium tier? u really dont need anything at all if u want to stay at low-medium tier, modern on the other hand, good luck.

You can spend 60 or even 30 when sales happen and get hundreds if not thousands of hours of fun out of it. If you have plenty of time to invest into the game it is worth it.

As a fan of CBT, i assure you, that WT is worth it.

To OP

I have 2,000 hours in the game and have spent only enough that I would of buying some other game...

Basically you get out what you put in, nothing more

Just remember one thing, just because you can buy tanks you can't buy skills, so if you think throwing money at things make you a better player and it will make it more "fun"... that doesn't happen

Objectively, not really, there is not much content outside of vehicles, and the game design when it comes to maps and game modes is over a literal decade old, so it's completely obsolete for the direction they want to take with more and more modern vehicles and weapon systems


It definetly has it's moments and can lead to very satisfying situations, but it's important to keep in mind this game is a lot more about quantity than quality

depends on what you consider "wasted" money.

This game is no better than world of tanks. Both devs are shocking.

All games are like other companies trying to sell a product for profit. No one gives away shoes or coats or food or baseball gloves. They market their product. Many advertise "free" with purchase. "Money back guarantee" "free shipping" War Thunder makes none of these promises "All sales final" but you the consumer have plenty of time to test the product before spending money. If you find the product to not worth investing in there is no compulsion to buy.

For me, yes. I love it obviously and that is why I have put in a lot of hours. :steamhappy:
