I've managed to tweak my control to slightly more bearable, and managing to get okay results from the AI. The handling still doesn't feel particularly good, the force feedback is weak and unpredictable with the bus still sometimes drifting or slamming brakes on with just a gentle tap of the pedals. By turning down my AI to around 50% there are less traffic jams from their lack of common sense, and less of them to deliberately run you off the road. I'm still disappointed by the lack of meaningful updates, and hope to see some sign of development in the future.

Love the game despite the bugs. Let me go over the good then I will go over the bad.
The Good: Fun to play with minimal skill for basic play. There is a vast range of missions, islands, character options, and a dedicated workshop community. For those who want more challenging I find that the build mode is quite good with a good range of blocks to use, there are some blocks I would like to see that are not currently in but that isn't a major issue and your creations are only limited by the build area, which can be edited, and your skill and imagination.
The Bad
Multiplayer is a laggy and sometimes unplayable experience, honestly the thing that disappoints me most as I would love to play multiplayer with friends in decent sized creations but it is not possible for the moment, I will add the lag however isn't jittery or anything and instead just slows the game down, it does go away as you enter deep waters in ships but with planes I am yet to find a fix, going over the ocean is only a slight fix. The multiplayer not working is constantly reported but the fixes in the past have barely worked and the developers do not seem to have anything in the road map which is a shame as with a working multiplayer the game would be a much more fun and amazing experience.
Overall Review: Worth playing, amazing and fun even with the lag in multiplayer as it still is playable. Developers keep up the amazing work you have done for the game.

Constant issues with fatal errors recently, others report the issue and the only help I have found from the devs is a link to a post which does nothing to help in the slightest. The game is not ready to leave early access at this point in time, its a bad idea to release a game fully when it doesn't even work. I dread to see what it will be like for the console players who are happy to finally be getting a Police Simulator. If I can get it working then great, it is fun when it works but at the moment I have no luck with it.

Very good game to relax. Slight unrealistic part: I haven't been shot for trespassing and exploring an unmarked road through a farm and the fields. 9/10, needs more guns for the accurate American Experience.

Ive recently experienced less issues of crashing compared to my previous review, as much as I cannot tell if this is related to the game or something else it has drastically improved. I do however still have a complaint about content, I still feel like modifications are needed for a good experience.

I played this game on my phone for quite a while, now I have seen that it is on PC I downloaded it and started playing, the community is very friendly and helpful with many willing to give you ships if you request them, while some grinding is required you can quickly buy some great ships, one way I recommend to get some quick cash is finding the smugglers ports which give 3k each time you discover one, however these are limited so buy some good ships, upgrade your ports for production and add a selling point and finally start your piracy, I myself have waged war with one nation only so I am not at constant risk of being sunk (The Danish are a good one to wage war with due to their limited amount of ports, there may be more I need to expand my map to find but for now I am not at risk.) to sum it up: The game is amazing and worth playing since it is free with no payments needed!

This needs heavy work, let me list my biggest issues with the game:
Spawn Killers - I spawn into a match and I have a T 70 sniping anyone who spawns as well as another tank on its way over to shoot me, spawn protection or perhaps a system where if you attack a player in spawn your tank is destroyed, limit the amount of time you have the protection and add a timer above your head and this could work.
Balancing - Plenty of aircraft to point out but I will say one which is the worst in my opinion which is the J8A, it has an excessive amount of guns and is amazing at manoeuvring making it impossible to survive an attack by, as a starter aircraft it is overpowered.
Assault Arcade AI - The AI in the game mode has perfect aim even if you are driving in random directions at random speeds, this means that you are wasting thousand of Silver Lions to spawn in every time they snipe you from across the map.
Hackers - Plenty of players I have faced shoot through several buildings and hit and kill our tanks, I have also seen a player magically have regular tank shells falling from the sky, the kill is not registered as by artillery however meaning either it is glitched or something is not legitimate.
I could list plenty of issues, Gaijin please work on the issues with War Thunder, I love the game but with the issues I cannot recommend it.

Edit: New form of spawn killing going on, AI on Ground Assault Arcade, makes it incredibly irritating as the game mode could be great fun but as usual is ruined by the AI's incredible accuracy and new decision to spawn kill you now. Gaijin, fix your game.

While the game is amazing after the latest major update I have had issues with textures, I clear cache but it does not fix it, I still recommend it but I wish the textures were working correctly

A nice relaxing game to play, if I ever want to do a relaxing game this is most of the time the one I choose and you can make really detailed and nice maps to use

I've tried playing this several times, the longest time I have got to play was 20 minutes until it freezes then after a while says I have no connection, I had a perfectly fine connection that entire time, I have not had a chance to try out what the game has to offer because of this connection issue, I'm going to keep trying and if it works then great but this issue is annoying
