And this tiny differences we have they are artificial and insignificant. In Air battles there are some differences between RB and SB, let's take the cockpits - internals, but in tank battles there are practically no differences at all. And your broken track isn't repairing itself in the middle of a gunfire It had realistic different gunsights, interiors, being forced to observe the terrain from closed tank by small viewfinders, different crew members doing their job and realistic historical tank sets. So why dividing already small player base into RB and SB and made waiting times even longer?Įven old Panzer Elite from 1999 is more of a simulator than War Thunder. WT is a nice game but it is not any simulator. You are not a tank commander in WT, you are omnipotent God who is a commander, a gunner and a driver at once. Tanks in WT sim don't even have different clutches, 3D interiors, realistic tank sets, different gunsights, nothing you would expect from simulator. they admited by this action it is not, and it won't be any simulator.Ĭompare WT SIM with modern tank simulator Steel Beasts Pro PE. When developers added modern tanks without thermal cameras, without different gunsights, without laser rangefinders, without lead and elevation fire control computers etc.

Only this funny quasi commander position and a few completely insignificant details? What is the difference between RB and SB? I have just one fundamental question: what makes tanks simulator battle a simulator? Or more of a simulator than realistic battles.

War thunder vs heroes and generals
