In a War Thunder, the planes, the tanks, and the damage model, are realistically simulated, at least to a fair degree. There are no "hit points". You have three game modes: Arcade, Realistic Battles and Simulator Battles in which you can choose between air (planes) and ground forces (tanks). So there is something for everybody, and in the future they will also add ships.
With time, the game got grindier and grindier up to a point where now is a bit over the top, but at least the game is fun to play. In ground forces you can pilot planes and it can be very fun to have players playing both, planes and tanks, in the same game. The developers chose for balance to win over the simulation aspect of the game, and a lot of their decisions have been met with a lot of criticism from the community.
