My big regret: 10 years playing WT and I just started playing simulator tank battles (self.warthunder)

I started playing WT in late 2013 and nearly daily played since 2015. I play mainly arcade but also realistic ground and 8vs8 squadbattles. I prefer mainly low tier, ww2 tanks but very rarely play cold war 7.0-7.3 stuff.

For some reason, I never tried simulator battles in all my years. Maybe it's because I am burned by realistic, which I absolutely do not enjoy. Maybe it's all the cheaters or ULQ players, but I die 80% of time by enemy hidden behind buildings some 700m away from my spawn.

But holy shit is simulator battles different! Here you don't get any labels, have to actually use your knowledge and brain to identify targets and I feel like only genuine players play that, for fun. Seeing Sherman's running around everywhere then use logic and binoculars to actually see the marking is satisfying.

What are your thoughts about realistic Vs simulator? What do you enjoy more?

I tried simulator a few times for ground battles, it was interesting. However for air battles where it looks the most worthwile, I can't abide by the controls.

Indeed, you pretty much need a good joystick and rudders setup to play air sim.
