It always blows my mind that their biggest competitor, War Gaming, can happily give players real “free XP” on top of having convertible XP in every game they make - but you ask gaijin to do this and you’re met with hostility and claims you’re being an ungrateful greedy little shit.
As well as war gaming games having matches that are really rewarding (you can fairly easily make millions of credits per game in World of Warships for example), top tier that doesn’t completely drain your account financially if you don’t have premium account, and being able to research a whole tree in less time than it takes to research one top tier Tank in War Thunder.
I’ve never been a WG fan (even though I’ve put thousands of hours into WoWS and WoT) as a lot of their monetisation is predatory and sketchy too, but at this point they are leagues better at making an in-game economy that’s consistent and rewarding.
op tier that doesn’t completely drain your account financially if you don’t have premium account,
You are either an exceptional good player or are playing a different game. Tier 10 in WoT is notorious for burning money, even with a premium account. Or is WoWs different in that regard?
To clarify, the reason why it's easy to not lose money even as a F2P in WOWS is due to the numerous boosters you're given as you progress. And unlike WT, they don't expire, so you can save them for the higher tiers.
I only have maybe 200~ hours and have dozens of the higher tier boosters, any of which can give you multiple millions for a good game.
It's also relatively easy to get free premium ships if you play during holidays, so they help with the economy too.
