HALF WAY THROUGH THE 9.7 MODERN TANK GRIND IN WAR THUNDER IT GETS DARK!

Getting better and rising in higher place wins, 9.7 is still rough. Seems like a player shortage up here? Lots of short matches and very unbalanced fights. Could it be TOO Realistic? Death comes fast and from out of no-where here. Just like the footage you see out of Ukraine. How can you do with all but the best mods???
