Yep, it's okay to cure 5 minutes boredom. |

Realistic? Not so much. Fun? Yep. The graphics are very good. The action is quick. Figuring out the strengths of the different ships provides some challenges. My brother, my nephew and I play it every Monday, using Skype without the video to communicate. |

Enjoying it so far. Gunnery seems pretty straightforward, but I'm trying to learn how to conduct effective torpedo attacks. Carrier ops look like fun as well. I know the Warthunder guys are also working on a naval combat game, looking forward to that as well. Warthunder differs from the WOT hit point based system in that Warthunder uses a component damage system based in fairly detailed physical models, ballistics, etc. For example, in WOT you score hit points on a tank, in Warthunder they model armor penetration and the effects on the crew and internal components, sometimes resulting in a one-shot kill, crew casualties, etc. |

I have had a couple one shot kills on me when the magazine is penetrated and my ship goes boom. Nothing like a battleship going up in flames with one hit. Actually the last guy who did that to me, was just as flustered and really didnt know what to say. |

I've been really enjoying it. After trying all the classes, I like the cruisers the best, then carriers, then battleships, and destroyers last (though now that they nerfed visibility against destroyers, they might be worth trying again). |

Realism 0% Fun factor 100% Torpedoes are very hit or miss for me (pun intended) either I seem to hit with almost every shot, or I miss everything |

I have watched videos, but I like the War Thunder damage model better at least for tanks and AC. I am more of an age of sail guy when it comes to naval games and I have been Alpha testing this game: navalaction.com/#ageofsail It is scheduled for early access on Steam in a few months. |
