So Yarnhub, The people that make those semi realistic events of battles, is selling off some of their stock to make a game about air, ground, naval, and infantry. From the looks of it, this might end up being a direct competitor to WT if they go for full combined arms.

Do you think this is something worth looking at or do you think it will flop?
its community driven its not even making it off the ground lmao
It is unfortunate, it also would take at least a decade to match the shear volume of what war thunder has.
On the flip side however most people will only ever play one TT due to how long it takes.
Wait until you find out WT has had direct competitors for over a decade now.

It takes like 80 - 120 hours with a premium account to complete a tree using tech tree vehicles.
Of course you can complete a tech tree in like 36 hours with premium aircraft + premium account.
where? WoT blitz?
I don’t see anyone getting to 13-14.0 in 36 hours sorry
No it doesn’t. maybe if you also spend £1000 on GE research
Eh, not really.
World of tanks is too arcady on it’s own and never expands past the health bars.
DCS and MFS are straight up simulator’s for their vehicles, which might be something if wt actually cared about simulator players.
GHPC kinda of comes close to being ground sim but is a bit limited in it’s own ways.
Cant really think of anything else tho. And no ones getting a tt done in 36 hours unless you ge the entire thing.
Never heard of it till now. The game or the company. Wouldn’t this be more of a competitor for Enlisted instead?
GHPC is the closest competitor to War Thunder right now in terms of gameplay and simulation goes, which in my opinion has already surpassed Gaijin’s ground models, but it’s mostly focused on single player PvE (with planned multiplayer in the future).
There is no game or company that comes close to War Thunder’s sheer scale and number of ground, air and naval machinery. Although, Yarnhub’s idea is more Enlisted adjacent than War Thunder.
Best of luck to Yarnhub’s shot at giving us an alternative, I hate the naysayers.
Is this talking about all gamemodes or just air?
I’m not expecting any real competition ever, only an interesting war of succession to fill the market opportunity that opens up when $120 F-35 sales eventually start to run dry and Gaijin shuts down the servers.
Dude, it took me 1.5 months playing at ~1.7 hours a day to get from Japan 1.0 to Type 90, that’s 76 hours of play time.
I primarily used tech tree vehicles, with a mix of Type 74 near the end.
And that was in the worse rewards of 2019 when I was also slightly worse at ground, but I did come from a shooter background in general so I was still above average.
Today I could probably do air in less than 70 using only tech tree vehicles, and ground in around 76 only using tech tree vehicles.
If it takes you longer than 120 with a premium account, then I offer advise to people for free.
@tensilaspider
It doesn’t matter what YOU think the competition is, it only matters what Gaijin thinks the competition is.
@ItsOnyy
GHPC is too arcadey, they refuse to implement realism cause “It’d mess with immersion”.
@ExecutivOutcomes
Ground and air, I’ve never tried timing naval, though I guess I could since I’m starting from scratch with France.
