Pros & Cons of War Thunder
Pros:
Wide Variety of Vehicles - There are literally hundreds of planes and ground vehicles to unlock and control
Mixed Battles - Air vs Air, Ground vs Ground and Ground vs Air gives a much wider scale of combat that makes the game unique in the shooter genre
Strategic Combat - Combat is more slow paced and realistic, with players needing to plan ahead to get their kills and complete objectives
Huge Number of Maps - Though split between the various modes and campaign missions, the game has a ton of different maps to play on
Realistic Damage Mechanics - With more hit locations and damage effects in the game players can hinder, harm and destroy not just the vehicle but specific areas
Paid Items Not OP - The items that can be purchased in the game are far from game breaking and do seem to focus more on convenience over pay-2-win
Amazing Graphics - The vehicle, ground and damage details are all supremely well done, attention to the various effects create a very immersive experience
Cons
Wildly Imbalanced Vehicles - Some nations' vehicles are skewed to be low performing in particular areas to make them more realistic to WW2 (which doesn't make things fun)
Grinding - Beyond Tier 1 and Tier 2 vehicles, getting Tier 3 or higher vehicles requires a lot of time, effort and grind to acquire them
Long Battles - Hard to have a quick match when you are free due to long queues and match times
Matchmaking - The player base isn't big enough to support a decent Matchmaking system, resulting in some very one sides battles
Damage Is Punishing - Sometimes the realism is at the expense of fun, with a single hit many vehicles can be made almost obsolete for the rest of the game
“Russian Bias” - Whilst not inherently correct, the negative aspects of USSR vehicles (particularly planes) rarely come into play due to the games playstyle in certain game modes (particularly Arcade)
Graphical "Bug" - A longstanding issue has been that by turning your graphics settings to low it removes the foliage that otherwise gives enemy players cover, making playing on high graphics settings a disadvantag
