[2023] Just the game in general

War Thunder's game designers play the game very often actually, more than you'd think. So yeah, the devs do play the game!

Originally posted by Nero: Tbh .. they probably have Dev accounts .. with all Vehicles unlocked and 1mil GE

they did give accounts like that to creators for testing so I would VERY MUCH assume they use those accounts.

So they wont experience any grind in the game or any monetary downsides...

Hi, this is a common misconception. Devs have their own accounts and research themselves. Which is also one reason why we included game designer "pro-tips" in last major's dev blogs and will continue to do so for the next major — they have enough experience to write them.
