Why do some people say World of Tanks is more fun than War Thunder?

I am a die-hard fan of War Thunder. I also played World of Tanks for a while before joining the game. Personally speaking, War Thunder beats World of Tanks completely, but I will never say that War Thunder is definitely better than World of Tanks. , because the pursuit directions of the two games are different.

War Thunder is incomparable to World of Tanks in terms of graphics, operability, physics engine and realism (World of Tanks fans are here to argue, but the technical gap is simply incomparable). The details of the war thunder are very good, and every detail is tried to imitate the real battlefield. For example, many players have encountered this situation. Although the tank was not damaged after being hit, it was discovered that an external fuel tank was missing or a section of one side of the skirt was blown off; reducing the amount of ammunition carried will reduce the number of ammunition in the corresponding position of the ammunition rack ( Empty ammunition racks will not die when destroyed); the artillery did not shrink; the support method was to call for artillery fire or control the aircraft instead of driving the self-propelled artillery to the front line... There are many such examples, and these realistic details are very important to military fans and It has a lot of appeal for gamers like me who like realism. In fact, what attracts me most is the setting of tank performance parameters. Most of the tanks that appear in War Thunder have been used in actual combat in history, and at least they are real objects. There are a large number of blueprint tanks in World of Tanks, which are tanks that historically only have design drawings but have not been produced or even named. These tanks have no actual combat data reference. When setting parameters, they can only be calculated based on the parameters of the design drawings. This determines the success of World of Tanks. The degree of authenticity cannot be very high. The most direct examples are the Soviet T-34 and the German Tiger. Both of these tanks are historically brilliant tanks, but how do they perform in World of Tanks? On the other hand, Zhan Lei, because all tanks are supported by actual data, the parameter performance settings are closer to reality. The same is the T-34 and Tiger. In War Thunder, these two tanks are absolutely nightmares for vehicles of the same class. Anyone who has played with them knows this.

Although it has been said that World of Tanks is not as good as War Thunder, it cannot be said that World of Tanks is not as good as War Thunder, because World of Tanks is far superior to War Thunder in terms of competitiveness. Since Zhan Lei pursues realism, it will consider many realistic factors, which are often referred to as accidents. This leads to the fact that there are no absolutes in War Thunder. For example, if a level 3 KV-2 hits a level 5 Maus head-on with a grenade (War Thunder has a maximum level of five, which is different from World of Tanks, so the level difference can be understood as a weapon. Generation difference) At the base of the turret, there is a high chance that shell fragments will penetrate the weak engine compartment cover, destroy the engine and radiator, and ignite the engine. If the Maus does not have or runs out of fire extinguishing parts, it will have to wait for death; another example is that I once When charging with the Tiger, the lower-level T-34 1942 model pierced the front armor with one shot. The 1942 model's main gun with a penetration depth of 76 mm should not be able to penetrate the 102 mm front armor of the Tiger... Because of these surprises, War Thunder's execution of tactics is significantly lower than World of Tanks. For example, if there is an enemy at the corner of a building, in World of Tanks, the heavy tank with high health can come forward to attract firepower, and the medium tank can follow behind, using part of the health of the heavy tank in exchange for a breakthrough. In the case of war mines, the heavy tanks that attract firepower are likely to be paralyzed or even killed by one shot as soon as they appear, which can easily lead to a confrontation. This is probably one of the reasons why there is a World of Tanks competition but not a War Thunder competition (at least I haven't heard of it).

Although I prefer War Thunder, I wouldn’t say World of Tanks is inferior to War Thunder. After all, each game has its own strengths and players have their own preferences. So those who say that World of Tanks is more playable than War Thunder, please be objective when commenting. Not everyone thinks that way.
