Premium Thunder

I like how IN EVERY update there is a huge amount of Premium vehicles, IN EVERY SINGLE ONE
If you traced the amount of premium vehicles addition since the last 4 years you will see an semi static amount ranging from 5 premium to 1 research vehicles, that is kind of sad.

How us as a free to play players to even enjoy behind this paywall thing?

No bro, it’s an indie
Only 1 person does dev stuff.

Hey, I saw this topic in 2018.
I see nothing changes.

The vast majority of vehicles added to War Thunder are tech tree/squadron.

The only inaccurate thing about this is small.
Indie company yes, small no. :)

Even with the neo-definition I dislike of indie being “No external investments.” Gaijin still is considered indie cause it’s privately owned.

More like AI Thunder.

There is no free lunch. With ~20k games you should be aware of that the sole purpose of this game is to earn money. F2P just lowers entry barriers for kids and allows gaijin to lure them into the “grind trap”. The whole gaming industry uses f2p as vehicle for mini- and micro-transactions to target mainly minors.

In other words: From a holistic pov f2p players are just there to play victims / targets for paying players - in order to play and progress you need time or money.

Nice joke.

If you dig deep enough in this forum you find annual revenues >100 million Euro. alone for Gaijin Kft in Hungary. Software developers have basically just staff costs - servers are cheap - and based on the number of connection issues gaijin has rented the cheapest ones…

best we can do is monthly GE allowance of 200 GE/1 uni backup.
