Thing is, i cant play WoT with anyone whos playing the consol versions.
Right now i just got out of a tank match (war thunder) with a buddy whos playing on his play station 4. methinks in the future all games will need to be backwards compatable or at least allow players from all platforms to play together.
Right now most players want instant gratification, they pick it up, try it out and put it down 5 minutes later, gone are the days of "simulation" buffs. Right now everyone who started out in aces high,and warbirds ect. are 30-50 years old. Raising familys or moving them out. That means most of the "new" payer base will be cell phone/smart phone addicted kids, who care more about checking a text then flying a plane for 20 minutes just to find a single enemy.
Right now a 12 year old can log onto steam, download the game play for free and get instant satisfaction (and kills)
OR, they can search the internet and maybe run across aces high and the likes, download it, play for two weeks free (hardly enough to learn aces high) get bored,and pay the 15$ a month. IF they want to play more.
Yes i know old guys (i would rather pay 15$ and keep the riff raft out) but guess what? If you charge 15$ to get into your bar or club, and next door is free, guess whos gonna have more $ to buy drinks?
Guess its just the time's. Simulation was so 1990's, click the battle button and go go go!!
