War Thunder is a mess of a game, yet, it seems like there's nothing (at least, for now) that comes close to it

I'm sure you're quite familiar with the game now that it's already over 10 years old. There hasn't been a game in which that is as experienced in its field as War Thunder, sure you can say that GHPC is a contender, or even Steel Crew, but in the end, they are not(yet) as developed as War Thunder.

While the game itself, as I mentioned, is a mess, with its unending BR balancing issues, server issues, Premium and Squadron Vehicles issues, the long grind without Premium Account issues, Crew Level pay-to-win mechanics, and even sometimes the game giving you unreasonably bad RNG with your shots or people not dying despite the 2000lbs bombs that you put into their head, is, undoubtedly, still, the best game there is, for how the game intended to be.

War Thunder is the best Multiplayer game for its 'Sim-like' status at the moment, and that is the only thing that keeping this game alive for this long, and that is also the thing that sets this game apart from World of Tanks and the likes that relies on HP mechanics (albeit, this game also has that, just, not as focused). Sure, it may not be the perfect game out there, and I'm not claiming it to be, but do know that there is no contender for this specific genre of the game as of now.
