Man all i will say is premium ammo.

[@kazekami7313]

And RNG.

[@ehannasir8464]

@@kazekami7313 war thunder does have it's own rng tho, in form of ping spikes and enemy shells some how changing direction mid air (bro doing that drift like he is a Subaru) which to my knowledge is either a sever issue or a glitch that resurfaces sure it's unintended but still with you potentially being a one shot it is noticeable

[@kazekami7313]

@@ehannasir8464 Well...by RNG in WoT or WT, I mean the built in RNG, since if we talk abour RNG in general, then even Minecraft is RNG based. Well, there is RNG built in into War Thunder as well, such as the Artillery strike, or the bullet spread with machineguns, and a slight inaccuracy of tanks, but its still very, very rare to not hit what you were aiming at (perfectly).

One big diference comes with the in game premium stuff and monetization, WT is a pay to progress faster and WoT is straight up a pay to win game.

[@unnecessaryammorack]

In what way is WoT pay to win that WT isn't? And no, premium ammo isn't it since anyone can use that especially since wargaming is so generous with boosters, premium time and premium vehicles you can get for free to earn credits, unlike war thunder. I play both btw

[@PIG8STUIPID]

@@unnecessaryammorack i guess this kind of comment comes from people who played WOT 10 years ago were the Ammo was only buyable with gold.

[@christopherjohnferrer3771]

​@@unnecessaryammorack Premium ammo still bs though. WT had event vehicles, thanks to that I sold my Obj. 292 to get a CAS aircraft. I'm full f2p player, still have Gaijin coins in the market.

[@unnecessaryammorack]

@@christopherjohnferrer3771 Unlike War Thunder I don't need to grind my life away for a chance get a free vehicle in WoT however. And premium ammo might be in a questionable state currently but what matters is everyone has access to it

[@F-18Super]

@@unnecessaryammorackjust the fact that you can BUY premium ammo which objectively gives you an advantage to a player without it is pay 2 win by definition. In WT premium vehicles are earlier variants of their free versions. Doesn’t matter how much money you throw at WT you’re not getting an advantage over anymore. Pay to progress vs pay to win.

[@MOTULCOW]

TBH War thunder feels more like a high penalty but high reward play style, you can be rewarded for great pathing and map knowledge, usually you can one shot others and continue your journey, but at the same time a good enemy gives you no option of fight back too.

[@yowtfputthemaskbackon9202]

pretty much, yea. warthunder is a lot more about what i suppose you could call "situational knowledge" the map, positions of friends and other enemies, your vehicle and your enemies vehicle, how to use your ammo, hull thickness, crew and ammo positions, weakspots, strongspots, etc, and make a solid guess on that sum each time to live. in world of tanks its a lot more numerical in a way. you have to know your health, the enemy health, your reload time, his reload time, the amount of damage your shell does, the amount of damage he can do in return, the thickness of your armor, speed of your vehicle. now both games have both, but either leans in one or the other direction. i heared someone refer to world of tanks as a big game of dice, which there is some randomness to it, but calling it that would be unfair. its much more so just a big game of math, where as warthunder, where often, the first shot can will be a kill, or at the very least fataly disabeling, the math doesnt realy play that much of a part aside from distances and armor thickness.

[@altavelmcnamara]

@@yowtfputthemaskbackon9202 Great comment! Thanks.

[@UnknownArt_K]

A note on the wheeled vehicles, some wheeled vehicles like the AMX-10RC does have the ability to neutral steer.

[@ODGreenZa]

I used to play WOT. But warthunder has my vote. The two dont even look the same level. Both push premium account but i cant handle the gold spamming ammo of pay to win. Also artillery isnt an issue in warthunder like it was in WOT

[@ragoon7798]

the fact that u get to see gameplay from both wot and war thunder and u still decide to play wot is mind blowing. nostalgia at play

[@hourglassproductions7517]

One thing about the warthunder water physics too is if you’re in fire and drive into water, it’ll actually extinguish the fire

[@curiosity03.]

wtf, bro you just unlocked a new level of knowledge for me

[@doublesoul862]

I used to play WOT but the absolutely insane amount of p2w makes it completely unfun now. Imagine trying to fight a chieftain with maxed crew and bounty modules as a free to play player shooting silver ammo and still losing creds. Horrible game.

[@ldSt3345]

Imagine lowering wot's variety to the t10-matches

[@doublesoul862]

@@ldSt3345T10 is what everyone's working towards, but okay, if I take a look at non-t10 matches, I suddenly feel compelled to mention the fact that I'm often going to face tanks that I can do nothing to in uptiers, premiums are still busted and there is an even bigger discrepency is crew skills and equipment because only the most P2W players invest in tanks that are just a stepping stone for others. Hooray!

[@1975MANDOR]

You know that chieftain wasnt available to buy? You only needed to be good and win it from clan wars. Bounty modules you are getting by just playing, not paying

[@altavelmcnamara]

@@doublesoul862Well Chief and 279e were nerfed heavily, there are not the best anymore for sure.

[@CatWithAOpinion]

I feel like instantaneously coming to a complete stop with no crumple zones & airbags to slow you down before you hit your head on the metal in front of you would in fact give you more than a minor headache.

[@superfamilyallosauridae6505]

I know, I never expected this would happen but I was genuinely awestruck when it did. Huge respect to Gaijin here.@@CatWithAOpinion

[@superfamilyallosauridae6505]

I cannot stress how literally infinitely variable WT gameplay can be if you use even just air and ground, all entirely inside Ground RB. You can take a helicopter with only air-air weapons and hunt enemy attack helicopters, and spend the entire match doing that and contribute by killing CAS. I used to do this extensively, hunting Kamovs with AH-64s in Japan and US trees. The stuff you can do as, and against, CAS is insane. You can do SOF helicopter 160th SOAR stuff, capping points with helicopters early match, dodging between buildings, etc like Bruce Leeroy does and I do with the AH6M much more amateurly.

[@PIG8STUIPID]

WT is fun and more realistic with its own problems while WOT is a arcade, kinda MOBA like, game with 3 lanes and different "characters", the tanks in the game. For me i enjoy WOT more as i enjoy the mechanics in it (spotting system, view range etc.)

[@altavelmcnamara]

I agree, both games are good though.

[@nicolaspeigne1429]

It would be fine to compare WoT with WT arcade mode, since it would be closer to each other

[@skittlesbutwithchocolatein2274]

yeah

[@RedFox_05]

Great video! I actually enjoy playing both games. I am not good in either but I think each game offers something unique. But one thing that I detest for both game is the amount of grind that we have to do. On top of the grind, higher tier premium / gold tanks being more effective with the grind (and sometimes better than the regular tree) that attracts newer players to buy them at the get go also kind of ruins the fun. But I understand that this is how they have been keeping themselves profitable over the years... Funny thing is Wargaming seems to be aware of this issue and has been releasing premium / reward tanks with polarizing aspects (focused either on the gun or all rounder with average stats in comparison with the regular tree-basically something actually unique instead of outright broken) after the infamous bz-176 release in their Christmas lootboxes. Meanwhile Warthunder... not sure if the snail has yet to realize this to this day. Anyway, looking forward to pt2!

[@skepticonyoutube1897]

One criticism. Wold of Tanks has not only Paper Tanks. They make some them self um. Like The E -50M

[@f8lx378]

I do have to say this is a good video and it is treated fairly, something that not many comparisons do. However i almost think comparing these games in unnecessary. World of tanks is primarily gameplay focused. Everything is about a good gameplay experience and is therefore much more arcadey, its designed to be a game. Where as war thunder is more for people who care about realism over most other factors. Both games are good in their own right, but comparing them is hard because they have such different objectives. Its like comparing fortnite to csgo, sure both have guns, but other then that they are very different. I am a wot player and know a few people who have played warthunder. I can respect the game, i do not hate on it. I think it is important that companies have competition as otherwise there is no need to improve. We should stop dividing the playerbases and instead all come together and share our love for tanks.

[@f8lx378]

Furthermore i have seen alot of comments refering to the status of premiums and what not. Sure i have my fair share of ptw items. But currently i am progressing a mediocre tech tree at teir 8 with basically only standard rounds, i fite very little gold ammo at all yet i am still able to achieve 50% win ratio, so i disagree. There are many things i would love to see improve within wot, but unfortunately we dont always get what we want. Overall i still enjoy it, and i would recommend giving it a go, however it is not everyones cup of tea, and thats fine

[@altavelmcnamara]

Great video! Thx for not being biased! Like and sub.

[@namegoeshereorhere5020]

You don't take damage from hitting terrain in WoT, only if you fall. It will slow yo down though.

[@raganash5759]

I do like War Thunder better. Mainly bc of premium ammo in WoT, and the diversity of playstyles in WT.

[@1975MANDOR]

You know that anyone can acces premium ammo without paying or its only just me?????????

[@patronemir]

In wotc there is also coldwar vehicles from begin till end of the coldwar

[@semicooperative7188]

Yeah, I checked out my old account. The game is so different though, that it would almost need its own comparison

[@kyvbii]

Played WoT 2019-2023 (2.9k overall) and I hated every bit of it especially rng that could lose you the battle. Moved to WT on the start of 2023 and despite the way more higher entry level I feel more comfortable and sure when shooting tanks because of the nearly none RNG. My WR is also way better (67% overall when playing all BRs compared to WoT's 60%), the game also requires way more skill than WoT which have pen indicators and updates that make the game easier for noobs while it punishes good players (removing positions, cheeky spots to shoot through). WoT also have horrible map design that is literally tunnel fighting with over 50% of some maps' area being unplayable. WoT players then go to WT and get absolutely fucked and then write that WT sucks because "they get one shot" or "get sniped from 1km" and then talk nonsense. You literally change from a RNG, tunnel fighting based game into a game with almost zero rng and maps being accessible on most parts. Both games aren't pay to win (but pay to progress) but WoT definetely takes the 1st place in adding toxic tanks (BZ-176 or other premiums that are trash to play and trash to play against, (i know about the 2s38 i play it myself)). While WT has a cheater plague that WoT players talk about, WoT have an almost non-existant anticheat and have a gigantic rigging/boosting problem that WG is hardly doing anything about. Player level is similarily low, I didn't test WTs squadron battles yet so I don't have an opinion on competetive battles in it. if i missed something feel free to discuss :)

[@semicooperative7188]

The series will look at basically everything, so I will be hitting on some of these topics

great vid! I used to play WoT but swapped to WT after a few years and will never go back, I love the harsh realism of WT

[@ComradeZephyr]

Personaly, I much prefer WT.

[@germanperez6403]

I played WoT for years, leave it when the corridor maps and op premiums without weak spots came out. WT its harder and gaijin its less generous, but the game its better.

After the changes i istil have hpoe on war thunder,wen it come to word of tanks...... Plus premium amo

[@BlindGuardianCz]

If you have a shitty laptop with shitty headphones, playing in your bed while watching some minecraft videos ( most likely ). WoT is your choice If you have decent setup and you can focus on the game, while wanting more realism got for War Thunder You can't really play War Thunder without focusing on the gameplay.

[@madensmith7014]

You can do the same chill and not tryharding gameplay in arcade For realistic, honestly it wasn't recommended before cause you would be hemorrhaging SL, but nowadays, you can do just fine with 0~2 kills per match that not trying too hard in every match is viable. Yes, I play youtube on the background while I play realistic, it's dumb, but viable.

WT and WOT for me WT is the better game WOT feel so much arcady even to WT arcade

[@thebelkero8]

wot and wt are equal garbage in the long run, in both you have the same p2w, the premium account, the premium bullet of wot that I read here is from players who have not played wot since 4 years ago that changed from premium bullet to bullet that anyone with game credits can use, both have some branches of technology too heavy, even more in relation to time invested in wt, the issue of players using hacks if true it is also superior in wt, wot is more arcade, wt is more “realistic”, wot has its strengths and negatives and you have ships on the other hand wows, wt has its strengths and negatives and if you want to play tanks you will suffer fighters and helicopters, but both in the long run are equal garbage of time badly wasted.

[@D0NC3]

WOT not crossplay, WT are crossplay, and WT in arcade are much more realistic than WOT ever will be, WOT are cartoon game, and WOT console are fully separaited game from WOT PC with difrent dev's team
