Addiction and money spent.
What I hope to achieve? Obtain every vehicle and making this task possible for every player. No more vehicle exclusivity.
The point of playing War Thunder is to play War Thunder.
If you didn’t want to play War Thunder then either:
1/ why are you playing it? or
2/ you are doing something else.
Seeking any sort of deep philosophical understanding is pointless.
I quite enjoy Warthunder. I think it is a very good game considering all the problems.

You seem to have misunderstood the question. I’m not “Seeking any sort of deep philosophical understanding” or suggesting there IS no point. I’m asking whether people play War Thunder to actually play the game, or whether they do it simply to unlock and collect as many vehicles as they can, or for some other reason.
For those that do it mainly to unlock vehicles, do you do so to unlock particular vehicles or vehicles at a particular level/br and then play those because that’s the “era” that you like or do you just keep playing higher and higher br vehicles just to unlock the next vehicles in the tree?
Just to suffer

I for one play it because I enjoy playing it, BUT I also have phases (usually depending on e.g. events or BP that offer rewards that I for one reason or another MUST have) where I grind/work to get the necessary tasks done, or get to a certain vehicle I definitely want.
But: Happily I can most of the time really successfully decide to play really just what I currently enjoy, and this shifts all the time. Vehicles and vehicle classes may vary, Tiers may vary, usually quite constant if it comes to game modes though (RB for naval and tanks, Sim almost exclusively for aircraft. Never touching AB even with a long stick…).
Right now I’m in the sad position that I moved and had to leave the VR-capable PC of my stepson behind, and had to dig up my 10 year old potato from deep storage, so until I can afford to invest in a modern setup, I’m restricting myself to tanks and ships, as once I touched VR, I can’t enjoy flying aircraft on monitor anymore… ;-)
Why i play WT? To suffer. I love to torture myself also in my free time. Getting angry from playing,breaking keyboards,all part of that.

Nice! At least I’m not the only one. :-)
Ye i have backup keyboard too for this. It gets expensive replacing them few times a week.
off topic a little but what does game masters actually mean ?
We Game Masters are responsible for chat related issues (chat moderation as well as processing of chat-related in-game reports) as well as player name issues.
So we check the reports we get from layers, see if the report indeed proves a chat misbehavior, and issue chat bans where necessary.
Point of playing war thunder, it is not to play war thunder.
Thankyou,back on topic ; )

teamplay and fairplay are FAR FAR BEYOND ur QI’s horizon ;)
Suffer and grind.
I won’t answer based on mode as I play RB but from a whole picture perspective.
As much as this game and the developers infuriate me more often than they entertain me, there’s no other game like this.
And sometimes it can be really, truly fun.
What’s fairplay got to do with this?
I’ve played War Thunder on and off over a few years now. It’s a game where sometimes grinds can be brutal but at the same time that gives me something to look forward to unlocking. A little way to get some dopamine out of gaming.
It can get frustrating sometimes, but that’s why it’s important to take breaks or try out different game modes :)

The right playlist can also make things a lot better and easier.

If you want people to play as a team then I advise you try helicopter PvE. It’s pure teamwork and I personally have a lot of fun playing it.
