  1. [R6] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · US H: Needs realistic mode because arcade is annoying bc they know where you’re at all the time. Low tier cas in ground mode needs an improvement because the time fuse on the bombs are way too long. Sometimes my shells disappear on my enemy for no reason. I have everything but 2 of the new tanks researched but I can’t even buy tanks because of how much they cost especially when compared to the old p
  2. [R9] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · US Updates Ruining The Game: This game was really fun before they did the UI update that really killed the fun for me as I was already used to the buttons from before but since they changed it, things have gotten harder and they also made armaments twice the damn price imagine paying 23000 SL for Apfsds 😭💔 and its not like its easy to make SL in this game they also added Tier 14 which is stupid
  3. [R12] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · US Love the game but lack of research for new things like planes and tanks: I’ve been playing War Thunder Mobile for a while now and recently reached Rank IV, but the experience has become incredibly frustrating. While I love the concept of the game, the grind for new tanks and planes has become a massive wall. It currently feels like it takes 5+ business days of constant play just to unlock a single
  4. [R14] War Thunder Mobile 5/5 · US It's really fun: It's quite enjoyable, but the road battles are too grindy. · translated
  5. [R13] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US Error: After the recent update some of the functions of the system weren’t working properly like the repair in ground battles and decoys in ship battles
  6. [R16] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US Absolutely ridiculous: I am updating this game every other day it seems and it’s absolutely annoying. There’s zero reason for this. Hate hate hate hate hate.
  7. [R18] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · US After the update, it crashes to the iPad: After the update, it crashes to the iPad
  8. [R4] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US This game is genuinely terrible: This is everything wrong with the PC version of the game except the controls are objectively terrible and the overpowered premium vehicles are way more common. This “game” is literally only good for keeping your daily streaks alive on the actual playable version of the game. Not even worth it to skip the M3 Lee.
  9. [R20] War Thunder Mobile 4/5 · US Pretty good game: It’s a nice game with great mechanics. But I have 2 complaints, for aviation it’s too pay to win and also the physics is kinda floaty and unrealistic
  10. [R24] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · GB Great game, shame about the economy: Can’t fault the game, a great port and so well done devs. My issue is how they seem to have taken away, without saying so, the ability to progress on tasks by watching ads. In doing this they are trying to drive people to the ludicrously expensive £18/month subscription. No thanks Gaijin.
  11. [R3] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · US Fun but very annoying: From rank 1 all the way to rank 10 is all fun and where I play best, but I want to use modern tanks but I can’t without dying to at least 3 BMPTs.that thing is volumetric hell. The indicator says I can penetrate it but the ERA armor eats the shot like it’s nothing. And NATO tanks are way weaker compared to Russian or Chinese vehicles. If the turret basket so much as turns ye
  12. [R11] War Thunder Mobile 5/5 · US BVVD don’t have mother: BMPT is very very SM is in Chinese don’t have mother
  13. [R22] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US Vehicle suppression: I had never dropped my phone before playing this game, but it made me so mad. Some vehicles at the same level have suppression effects, like the BMPT. · translated
  14. [R30] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · GB Bmpt: No one likes it people who use has no skill and remove obj279 or put it in the right br
  15. [R36] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US bvvd potato: When I played your game , I always died because of the potato server.
  16. [R40] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US BVVD give me my life back: How is the server still lagging like this? The bugs are endless, the water in the maps has turned into nuclear waste, the textures are all messed up, and that deep indicator is a mess. What does it mean when the green one bounces and the red one penetrates? Compared to the PC version, it lacks a lot of features. I will have to wait until my grandchildren's generation for an update. And look at how bad the Chinese line is; there isn't even a 13-level vehicle for a line vehicle. Plus, the silver lions for purchasing vehicles are all gone. After finishing the lines, the money is only enough to buy an 8-level vehicle. If you don't fix this game, it's only a matter of time before it dies. · translated

  29. [R82] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US BS game. Money grabbing. Load time is averaging 15 minutes. Mostly bots or hacks: This game averages 10-15 minutes to load a game. And you can’t leave the screen to check another app or it starts you over. Never been in a battle where I was not the lowest tier. Never been in a battle that we were not always behind (first death is always on my team putting us behind.). Mostly bots which makes the l
