I recommend giving both games a try before you commit to either one. Like World Of Tanks, War Thunder is free to play. WT has a large variety of modes and gameplay options compared to its competitors. If for some reason you become bored of WT’s tank combat gameplay, you can always battle with airplanes in flight combat. Instead of hit points and overall armor depletion, in WT it’s smart to aim at a tanks crew or critical parts to destroy it faster. Each shot hit against an enemy tank is displayed in a small screen located in the top right corner. Each tank moves and sounds like there real-world counterparts, making tanks feel more realistic in WT. When it comes to gameplay, you can tell WT’s developers are focused more on realism and simulation than arcade fun.

WT has over 300 real-life tanks to acquire from different countries. WT’s graphics are absolutely gorgeous and its destruction engine is very impressive. War Thunder (WT) is by far the most realistic online battle tank game available. Since it’s free to play be prepared to grind or pay a little into it at some point. Overall World Of Tanks is free to play, easy to learn, full of content, and provides a realistic but arcadey online tank battle experience. Some gamers will prefer a more simulation-focused experience, so a game like War Thunder might be a better option for them. I personally prefer World Of Tank’s simple unrealistic action, easy tank movement, and hit points for damage gameplay over its competitors (War Thunder). WOT’s arcade-style gameplay can be a good or bad thing if you’re looking to play an online tank game.

However, WOT’s gameplay is very arcadey and somewhat unrealistic. WOT is a simulation game when it comes to graphics, tanks, and atmosphere. Tanks from WW1 to our current modern era are acquirable.

WOT features a large variety of tanks to choose from, more than any other tank game. If you’re looking for a competitive online game to play that’s all about tanks, World Of Tanks (WOT) is a good choice. – See It On Marketplaces: PC | PS4 | Xbox One
