Support staff frustrations

I click a returning player link that I see on youtube.
The link does nothing.

I install the game to see if I can enter the code or link into the menu.
No luck.

I contact support who after 18 days of waiting tell me that I logged in a couple of minutes before the link was claimed and that there is nothing that can be done to credit any returning bonus to me. (Only after coercing this information out of them after they attempted to give me one sentence answers that did not help the support process whatsoever)

Game is fine but the support made me feel like I was inconveniencing them for having a problem that could be fixed with a 5 minute grace period between a login and their inactivity timer.

And support ticket wait times of 2 days, my reply, 2 days, my reply, 6 days, my reply, 3 days, my reply, should be a concern to any publisher serious about their community.

This game is unbalanced, have been playing for 3 years

This game is all about playing russia, in the new update the Su 30 sm2 (14.3) and the bmpt (10.7) completely ruined top tier. In my Eurofighter T2 with weak and not properly implemented missiles (aim-120c5) and a weak mechanical radar I have to against a team full of su 30 that are faster than the sm, have great armament the R-77-1 and an amazing radar, meanwhile other countries have worst offensive and defensive capabilities. For ground rb the bmpt ruined top tier, russian already had the best line of vehicles at 10.3/10.7 but now its simply brutal, russian mbt didnt always explode when hit on ammo and saved by magic era, now the bmpt double or even tripled that and if shows just the turret it can be killed. Overall a not well balanced game, I suggest that that the community works against gaijin to make them develop the game in a good way

War Thunder is an extremely flawed game and might i say a horrible game especially considering the fact that not only has it been review bombed, but also has 3 stars on steam. I am highly disappointed in Gaijin for making such a pathetic excuse for a "game." It is not only filled with almost unavoidable micro transactions, but also lacks skill based matchmaking, battle rating equality, and fair penalties. I mean, seriously, who would play a game that you have to pay tens of dollars for just to have a virtual military vehicle? I would much rather just play its more realistic and fair competitor, Digital Combat Simulator. At least I don't have to grind upon hundreds of hours just to get to modern jets.

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. This company is awful

This company is awful. They write up misleading descriptions that leave critical details out of their in-game purchases making the purchases worthless for the end user. Mind you it's $80 for these products they are selling. Furthermore, they are an 18 and up game yet heavily marketing to children that don't understand this. They refuse refunds and are a despicable organization.

War thunder is a cool game however I found in my time of grinding and useing the the premium for a better play experience I find that using the premium only makes it worse. And you're just spending your money for nothing.
At this point, the game is very unforgiving.
I've shot about 5-6sable rounds and h e rounds at all of The correct spots in real life tank combat and yet, I get taken out by one shot. How's that for fairness so I decided not to put any more money into the gang guy, just not getting another cent out of me. Till they fix that issue.

Don’t waste your time

The game is ok it’s good enough, but if something goes wrong or a reward you win but never receive it forget about reporting it they don’t reply you get zero help from the developer/developers you can pay for in game stuff again if it goes wrong just say goodbye to that money. They’re the worst I’ve encountered if you need anything whether say it’s £5 or £100 they don’t care about you only themselves!!! Play at your own risk.

Greedy, short sighted, incompetence

Gaijin, had what was an excellent game, which had virtually cornered the market, but they got greedy. They do not listen to users, actively silence any criticism, pander to vocal gamer blocks, and employ, what appears to external observers to be, biased "balancing".

They have made the game so a fil to progress in, so you are forced to spend even more money. Actively reducing all methods of progressing to ensure that it is effectively pay to win.

The simulator community is regularly ignored and bugs reports get closed and buried. Leading to some well known bugs existing for years.

If a certain vocal block stamps it's feet they roll over and pander to them as ... Yes you guessed it that's where the wallet warriors, whales, and rabid ultra-nationalists come from.

Cheating is rife in ground battles and all measures implemented are lackluster or done to ban players just before sales so that they will spend money getting back to their old ways.
