I quit playing war thunder years ago because once you get to tier 3-4 you have to treat it like a full time job to make any progress. Oh you unlocked a new plane? Have fun playing 200 matches against even better fully upgraded planes until yours is anywhere near competitive. All so they can sell you a premium account subscription or a single plane that costs as much as a full other game

Although it was kinda fun stomping on people in tier 2 if you know how to climb and energy fight
