I don't think they'll be too hard to miss.... wildly flailing / driving / flying around making a hash of things, trying to Rambo every level, asking dumb questions all the time and screaming "GAAAAYYYYY" every time they get killed! :D (followed by rage-quitting)
 
Im honestly finding germans SERIOUSLY underpowered, especially lower teirs.
Being constantly 1 shot ammo racked in most cases.

As for the Tiger, the battle rank is very high for a teir III (BR 5) so you go against much more powerful tanks than you may be used to. Even then, the 88mm feels underpowered and Im still getting ammo racked.

I find it funny when you first unlock the KV-1 and your against all the German low velocity 50mm guns. You can just sit in the open without a care in the world.

Well, at least they hit the nail on the head with realism on that one. :)

The KV-1 and KV-2, which we first met here, were really something! Our companies opened fire at about 800 yards, but [they] remained ineffective. We moved closer and closer to the enemy, who for his part continued to approach us unconcerned. Very soon we were facing each other at 50 to 100 yards. A fantastic exchange of fire took place without any visible German success. The Russian tanks continued to advance, and all armour-piercing shells simply bounced off them. Thus we were presently faced with the alarming situation of the Russian tanks driving through the ranks of 1st Panzer Regiment towards our own infantry and our hinterland.*

Encountered a new tactic in the H6K4 domination mode. When attempting to ram an enemy H6K4 to stop him capping a point, when I was just above and behind him, I was COUNTER rammed by his teammate in a small fighter. He nudged my tailplanes left, sending me into a flat spin as I dropped onto the H6, effectively killing all my momentum. I still hit the flying boat, but with no energy it simply killed me and left him untouched.
Clever girl...
 
from the WT forums....

Platform Wars: War Thunder Connecting PC And PS4

By Alice O'Connor on June 2nd, 2014 at 8:00 pm.

Nyoooooooooom.

Which is better, PC or PlayStation 4? There’s only one way to settle this: realising that it’s a daft question and a petty argument entirely unworthy of your precious time. Why war over platforms when you can war across platforms? War Thunder is bringing PC and PlayStation 4 together for a spot of friendly murdering, introducing cross-platform multiplayer “very, very soon.” Why bicker when you can be united in a shared love of destroying vintage tanks and aeroplanes?

Yes, yes, Quake III players on PC did smash their Dreamcast counterparts. And FASA’s Shadowrun FPS was so concerned about mouse controls being better than an Xbox 360 gamepad that it wonkified aiming for PC players. PC-console cross-platform play needn’t necessarily end that poorly, mind, not only because War Thunder’s not an FPS.

Unlike those two, War Thunder uses matchmaking, so it can bring players together based on the results of their play, regardless of what’s in their hands. Who’ll be able to tell the difference between someone’s who’s better (or worse) at the game and one who’s simply controlling it another way? Especially with 32 players buzzing around, or rolling around now it has tanks.

Control issues aside, we don’t see many cross-platform games because it’s largely considered not worth the effort. It’s unlikely to shift many copies of a regular retail game. Free-to-play games, however, live or die on their playerbase. They need lots of players who feel invested in the game, so getting to roll everyone together and not split people from their pals is more worth the investment. Hopefully we’ll see other F2P developers have a crack at this so we can play more games with our consoling chums.
