KV-2s in the desert... seems legit

 

And yes, that was the most unrealistic thimg in the video.

War Thunder is just a fun game when you don't need to tax your brain cells too much... Historical accuracy is bottom of their 'to do' list and always has been.

They seem to care about technical accuracy at least a little bit, but when you have a Sturmpanzer IV from the Eastern Front and an F6F destroying a T-34 at El Alamein, no, historical accuracy definitely doesn't seem to be a priority

They used to have events with historical match ups of aircraft, tanks and maps. Those seem to be long gone now though.

Because of that, I usually fly my SBD in Europe when I want to play it...

I just played War Thunder for the first time in almost two (I think) years.

 

(A little background info) I evolved into a Full Real Battles/Sim Battles (strictly air) snob very quickly after first finding out about the game. A couple of months in Arcade, 6 months in Realistic, and I then I couldn't buy SIMming gear fast enough to get myself into "playing the real game".

 

Well, Gaijin went and pissed me off too many times so I dropped the game like the bad coke habit that it had become (I spent a lot of money on it too I am now ashamed to admit).

 

I moved onto much better SIMs (BoS/BoM/RoF/DCS/BMS/CLoD).

 

So my findings today after trying WT SB (Enduring Battles, I think SB is now called)... pretty much the same as when I left the game. A little silly but addictive fun mixed in with tons of frustration. It can be pretty (some of the cockpits are "rough" though, and most bomber cockpits still do not exist), and it has a lot of planes, but it is no where near what BoS/BoM has to offer as far as quality and FM/DM.

 

Also, I found it interesting how (thanks to real SIMs) I was able to quickly and easily dispatch the 360 degree god and wonder woman view bombers that used to be the bane of my SB existence. Learn to fly in combat in a quality SIM and WT opponents don't have nearly the advantage that they used to.
