Played it in the early days and didnt care for it. I should try it again and see if it improved.

I also played it when it first came out but I deleted it after a few hours play. I can't remember my reasons,it just didn't grab me I guess.

I re-installed it today so I will have another go.

It is P2W,or is that P2P (Pay to Progress)? but that doesn't bother me.I have never spent a penny on War Thunder and rarely buy gold in WoT and only then to convert XP from my elite tanks.

Here's a few 'Let's Play' viddy's

Seems like a trend. I tried one of the very early build but had to remove it.
The game wasn't there albeit I could "feel" something in the far distance.

Maybe it's time to give it another try. smile
Any European wants to give it a whirl tonite or tomorrow?

Yep Americans are welcome too despite their unexplainable measure system and awkward amount of time zones.

Ugh.

I tried it- and maybe, just maybe it's me.

Game mechanics aren't BAD per se- but there's a lot to grind if you don't want to pay.
But maybe that's right too. These guys have to eat and pay bills too.

I did a couple whole rounds and... it's good, I guess.
Just it feels very unbalanced and definitely clunky.

There are very simple control gripes that after so many FPS did it right, simply shouldn't be there.

I do honestly admit that even if I was trying to do something tactical you still need a fully fledged squad.
I was basically alone.

Still- careful moving grants you quite some good results.
Sniped a couple unsuspecting campers! biggrin
That always gives you a big grin.

In a sea- OCEAN I might say- of MMO, F2P, multiroled FPS games this is nice.
Definitely not a Run & Gun, which is good in my book, but some choices really left me speechless. :/


TL;DR
Not bad, not great. Needs to be a whole team to achieve something. Big Grinding.
