War Thunder sure looks pretty, but there are a few things I still can't get used to:
1. Waiting 15 minutes just to get hooked into an arena. Sitting there doing nothing for 15 minutes, waiting for a server. And then once you get there, there's a time limit (at least in free mode). Once the time limit is reached, the scenario is over and you're back at the hangar.
2. While firing a tank round in WT looks neat (shock wave ripples are cool), between the ripples and the large cloud of dirt that gets generated when your round misses, it's very difficult to adjust your fire.
3. The T-28 and T-50 tanks are rattle traps. And get used to them. Because if you don't want your credit charged for all the micro-transactions to move up to a prime ride, you're stuck in a rusty T-28.
4. Speaking of Number 3 above, you can't just log in and pick a panther. You either have to pay real money to move up to a panther, go through this BS training mode, and pay the fake award money to make sure your crew is good and your equipment is in tip top shape, etc, then earn enough fake award money and points to move up.
5. AH has perk points. Simple. You get awarded points, and you expend them if you want a perk ride. In WT, there is a 3-tier system of 'coinage' or 'fundage' or whatever you want to call those things. I could never get the hang of it.
6. My biggest peeve with WT: setting views in the cockpit is like neurosurgery on a squirrel.
