  1. [R2] War Thunder Mobile 5/5 · US Love this game: I love this game with my heart but there is no planes with. Missiles.
  2. [R5] War Thunder Mobile 5/5 · US Love the game: I am absolutely addicted to this game graphics are great I also play on PC and console so I like the game a lot
  3. [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
  4. [R26] War Thunder Mobile 5/5 · US .: I really like this game, but could you add helicopters? And could you also add modern fighter jets in a future update?
  5. [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.
  6. [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
  7. [R61] Delta Force 1/5 · US It sucks: Delta force sucks it doesn’t accept PlayStation controllers
  8. [R62] Delta Force 4/5 · US Backbone: Love the game but would love it even more if it was compatible with the backbone controller
  9. [R15] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · US Can you please fix this for A12? After updating to the latest game version on my iPhone XR (A12), the ground in matches shows black gaps and colorful blocks. I can't submit a bug report through in-game customer service or the Gaijin official website. I hope the developers fix the texture rendering issue soon. · translated
  10. [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.
  11. [R18] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · US After the update, it crashes to the iPad: After the update, it crashes to the iPad
  12. [R19] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US The Apple system screen crashed: My Apple iPad Air M3 is considered a relatively new model. Originally, it could handle the highest graphics settings, frame rates, and resolutions without any issues, even with the most advanced anti-aliasing settings, except for a slight increase in heat. However, after this update, its screen would occasionally crash, with the ground and modeling becoming chaotic
  13. [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
  14. [R14] War Thunder Mobile 5/5 · US So much fun: It's pretty fun, but ground battles are such a grind. · translated
  15. [R10] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US Worst game: The game made me log out of my whole account and I couldn’t get all my vehicles back and I had all the best ones.
  16. [R36] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · US Help me: I lost my account and I have not been able to get it back it is a guest account the name is SiR_cLaPsAlOt
  17. [R45] War Thunder Mobile 3/5 · US Cool but bugs: Look I just found out my 930k silver lions and 50 golden eagles disappeared. It might be internet because it has been bad lately but if it isn’t and it really did disappear then I will need that back. If you need my account id then I can give it to you upon request.
  18. [R63] Delta Force 3/5 · US Soooooo….still no controller support?: Just checking in to see if it supports PlayStation controllers…hard to call this the ultimate FPS if it still doesn’t support controllers….sooooo COD mobile for the win until it does
  19. [R66] Delta Force 3/5 · US Controller support!: Please add controller support I downloaded this game with controller support in mind.
  20. [R67] Delta Force 1/5 · US Mobile sucks!! storage usage & battery usage is trash 🤦‍♂️: Horrible overall gaming experience lately. Game is full of bots and cheaters. Matchmaking takes up to 10 minutes to find a game. They put the same 3 maps in rotation. The developers need HELP. Y’all 90% copied Battlefield and still fail to deliver and they gave you the blueprint 🤷‍♂️
  21. [R70] Delta Force 2/5 · US Bots: Good game if you like playing on a team full of actual bots.
  22. [R103] Delta Force 1/5 · US Make these player bots disappear: Bro this “players” who are just bots genuinely destroyed my t4 armour in every game in easy mode. This gets to a point where I might just quit this game.
  23. [R115] Delta Force 1/5 · US Bots: The extraction mode is filled with too many ai controlled players, barely any real players, and the war mode is also full of ai controlled players
  24. [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
  25. [R25] War Thunder Mobile 1/5 · US Money: It’s all about how much pay
  26. [R23] War Thunder Mobile 4/5 · US Way too many updates: Requires a update seemingly daily, chews through my 5G allotment. Otherwise it’s pretty good and allows me to keep my streak going in warthunder.
