How to have fun in this game?
No
If you don’t like it, don’t play it…
pay to have fun
Try to hunt Godmode medals. If you have 6.3+ vehichles.
Also enjoy the vehichles you actually have, forget about the grind for a bit.
It is ait like that old 80’s film Wargames I think it was called, the only way to win the game is not to play it.
I think to have fun in the game the only way is not to play it.
Fun is rare here, but not impossible to achieve. Look in your Hanger for a vehicle that has absurd Arnaments, like a massiv cannon, big cannons on planes like the German Duck plane, if you have monex the XA38 Grizzly, it sits at 3.7, extremly fun, or the swedish T18B 57, even funnier. You could try to get Gunmodes, but it is hard and fustrating, so you could try at Rank 5 or 4, or toptier.
But I find Nuclear Thunder very fun, so if you have a 12.7 plane or the F4E, it would be cool to try it out, since the Br got decompressed.
Fly custom 1vs1 with buddies and friends, wait until Gaijin undoes bomber DMs in sim then fly sim EC at prop tiers at around 3.0-5.7, skipping when 5.0 is the top tier or flying other lobbies. Don’t fly over 6.0 or higher because that is ju 288 land.

Bro came to War Thunder to have fun lmao!
Find a vehicle or tree you like
Or
Play with people you know
Or
Larp, larp and larp some more.
Play something OP, KV-1s or 45 mm APHE CAS. Play vehicles you enjoy rather than for the grind lmao
To have fun right now - play Mistel in Air Arcade.
Like 1 out of 5 or 6 matches are fun. I am only really interested in WW2 vehicles, and I would say at least half of my deaths are either to CAS which is never fun, or to some cold war nonsense that should not be facing WW2 vehicles.
I have actually had fun in naval recently. It’s slower paced and less rage inducing.
do you actually believe fun is possible in this game?
Play a period and mode thats you are interested in, and ignore all the pressure to grind, fomo, etc.
I like WW2 - game is still fun for me 10 yrs later 'cos whatever happens Spitfires, 109’s, Pz4’s, Shermans, T34’s, etc. are the plastic Airfix kits I played with as a kid
It’s fun for the first 30 min of gameplay, and then you get cursed. I can only seem to do well when playing for a bit.
