As an old-time gamer with countless games and hours on various platforms, I can safely say that War Thunder is a prime example of how a money-hungry corporation and unbalanced economy can ruin a game. Never before have I encountered a game that makes level progression as difficult, leaving players frustrated and exhausted.

It is clear that their main goal is to maximize profits, not to provide enjoyable gameplay. The game is full of seemingly insurmountable grinding, all designed to encourage players to spend real money to progress. It's frustrating to see a game that once had so much potential succumb to such greed.

One of the more glaring problems is with it's economy. Reaching the top level seems like a difficult task that requires an insane amount of time or, not surprisingly, money. The game deliberately slows the pace to a snail's pace, forcing players into tedious scrambles that offer little reward. It's frustrating to spend countless hours playing matches for little in-game currency that barely reduces the cost of higher-end vehicles and upgrades. The consequence of this unbalanced economy is that the games are severely unbalanced. Intermediate and advanced players constantly find themselves facing successful opponents. The gap between those who spend money and those who don't is painfully obvious, and the overall experience suffers as a result. It's frustrating to come across players who have gotten better vehicles with their wallets instead of skill and dedication.

Obvious pay-to-win mechanics remove the sense of achievement and progression that should be at the heart of any good game. Instead of feeling the pride and satisfaction of unlocking new vehicles or leveling up through hard work, players feel cheated and undervalued. The constant reminder that success can be bought detracts from the whole experience and undermines the integrity of the game.

I also have to mention the lack of transparency and communication from Gaijin. It's frustrating to see critical issues not addressed while the company continues to develop high-quality content and paid events. Community concerns often fall on deaf ears, leaving players feeling ignored and left out. It's clear that growing a healthy and engaged player base is Gaijin's priority.
