If one song can sum up all of War Thunder, this is it.
Good luck to all of you still grinding, it's quite a long ride to the top.

Original song: "Believer" by Imagine Dragons

Parody Lyrics:
Starting out, at Rank I, there’s much more grinding to come
But I don’t know that yet I’m innocent I think I’m having fun, yeah
Rank I
The grind has only just begun, yeah
Rank I

Soon comes Rank II, this game is easy I just researched something new
10 kills every game I’ll probably reach top tier in a day, yeah
Rank II
I just gotta spray and pray, yeah
Rank II

Wait what just happened, I don’t know
I just got Gaijin’d, where’d my shell go
What’s this? An uptier? How’s this fair?
Oh no I got blasted out of the air
Welcome to Rank III, it’s not easy
Hey look a discount, pilot blacked out
My first few matches of RB, wait that’s a tank I thought it was a tree

Pain
That’s why I play War Thunder for the pain, he shot my plane
Pain
My shells bounce off I get oneshot again, and again
Pain
I let the bullets fly oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive it came from
Pain
That’s why I play War Thunder for the pain, I killed a train

Next is Rank IV, it’s getting harder now but I’m starting to learn
All the weak spots of the tanks I face and when to turn and burn, yeah
Rank IV
I’m not a noob anymore
Rank IV

Learning to Boom N Zoom, in the skies
Using the bushes, as disguise
Fighting a jet for the first time
It’s probably a good idea to sideclimb

But the grind’s getting longer
I can’t touch my boosters
whenever I use them I die with no kills
Because this, this game is, pure

Pain
That’s why I play War Thunder for the pain, it hurts my brain
Pain
Why am I fighting Cold War tanks I thought this, was World War 2
Pain
I let the bullets fly oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive it came from
Pain
That’s why I play War Thunder for the pain, it’s like cocaine

Ranks 5, 6, 7, I don’t know, if I’m still alive
Got spawncamped a hundred times
My barrel’s out but can’t repair it
No parts
How do you dodge a missile?
You don’t.

I’ve beeb grinding for years and spent thousands of hours
Almost at top tier I can’t falter now
I finally reach it I’m finally there
But I quickly find out it’s not fun, it’s

Pain
That’s why I play War Thunder for the pain, I hate this game
Pain
Stock HEAT-FS sucks ass can’t even pen him, guess I’ll just die now
Pain
I let the bullets fly oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive it came from
Pain
That’s why we play War Thunder for the pain
We’re all insane
