Why do you still play it, if you don’t like it?
Probably addiction and/or general military history/tanks/planes/boats autism (same for me tbh 5k hours in and I can’t recommend the game to anyone even though I love it.)

IMO steam reviews is not just about whether or not you “like” a game, but if you would recommend it to somebody.
My ability as a WT veteran of 10+ years to get enjoyment out of the game, stay afloat in the in-game economy and progress the tech tree is vastly different from that of a completely new player starting today.
So it’s entirely possible for a veteran player to have a good time in WT and at the same time not wanting to recommend the game for someone new.
Also, a quote from Phlydaily comes to mind… “War thunder, it’s almost fun”. I think many of us keep playing for the occasional moments that make the rest of the struggle worth it :)

Exactly this, if I hadn’t already been playing for a few years already I wouldn’t start playing now. The grind is absolutely horrendous.
I’m glad I started playing when I did, I grinded all the TT’s I wanted and now all I have to do is just keep up with one or two additions each update to each tree.
The game can be fun for sure, I especially love aircraft and play mostly for those in Sim and in VR and taking screenshots of the aircraft I love but starting out as a new player you couldn’t pay me to recommend it.

There’s no other game as War Thunder. That’s basically the main reason. It’s hard to just leave it after investing like 8k hours and a significant amount of money.
And i can’t say that i don’t like it. I’ve learned my own ways to make this game somewhat fun and enjoyable. But it’s something a new player just can’t do.
I just can’t recommend this game to someone new without enormous amount of time or money. This game has vastly changed since the time i got into it. And this change was not in a good direction.
i took a month long break and I enjoy it more now.
Alright, maybe not when I flew the sakeen, I hate that horrible thing.
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
I have to applaud the restraint on this fake leak list. A lot of them just go wild, this one is almost too conservative.
Almost every major update at this point has at least one big, flashy vehicle that pushes the meta in some way, but this list doesn’t have one. It’s like whoever wrote the list deliberately was trying to avoid it.
I would make a fake leak list of my own or a “predictions” list but at this point I’d just be repeating things that I’ve speculated before. But I think it’s safe to say that the next major update will include a big new mechanic or vehicle type (one or both) and 1-2 new top tier vehicles for each mode.
It’s worth pointing out that we’ll likely be able to figure out the theme of the next update before any real leaks once we get the next Community Disclosures post sometime in August.

The Gripen E probably would depending on what they did and did not model
I’m on the fence too, it’s just seems too real to be a fake list most just add one or two meme/wishlist vehicles but this, this feels like a gaijin update to me
you can easily see that that list is fake
just look at the ammount of light vehicles/ IFVs
gaijin would never
Who says we can’t have a IFV themed update, think we had air, we had naval so what’s next IFV’s ?
Given it has a British vehicle for Israel I would say its likely fake lol.
FV432 30mm RCWS was to upgrade British FV432 fleet and was partially done (the armour upgrade IIRC came from this) and was part of the mk3 bulldog program afaik with the only part not taken being the 30mm/spike combo for the RCWS as it got downgraded to a machinegun. Its odd to be in the Israeli area.
Didn’t spot that but yeah but yeah idk since it’s a good one
When should we start seeing blogs for the next major actually? Around the middle of August right?
Mid to late august so about a month

Smin recently said we should expect the next Community post this month too, probably with a similar timeframe. These are basically devblogs by another name at this point
Well not really devblog but more of a here’s the plan and what our thoughts are
They did reveal things like Fuel dumping and Falklands map (despite both being a major let down), as well as give a riddle for the major additions coming (all the battleships)
