I like war thunder. Its a major grinder type game if you dont feel like paying to play.
I dont.
It is satisfying to upgrade your tanks and crews after a few hard fought battles.
The surround used to be incredible. Either I ruined it by moving my gear or they did with the neverending updates.
Nothing ruins my evening faster than claiming an hour in th HT only to have to wait for a big update.
Better internet helps, so does leaving it in standby if/when you can.
