The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.

The game devs want the grind to be too unbearable and they got that. It's 100% not worth trying to start playing this game in the state its in. You'll spend months to get nowhere, and the community is the most headache inducing out of any game except for CoD
During my 50 hours of playtime I haven't had 1 single match where the game felt rewarding and good. Yes, I had gotten as much as 2 kills in Air RB and have had plenty of matches with good scores but even in those matches, it just didn't feel rewarding. The grind is horrible, just horrible, every match feels like just having the intention of making a step towards something and the fact that I can just straight up buy top tier jets is terrible. Don't play.

it sucks
垃圾游戏不要玩
it took all my money and i lost my kids and wife because of this game
game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks i cant believe i spent 100€ on this ♥♥♥♥. ZSU is the most op tank in the game they just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ camp all game and then when they see an atom of you they just obliriate you with 150mm shells every 0,1 milliseconds
мне не зашла, агресия везде, игра завязана на донате-если есть бабки то ты автоматом будешь сильнее простых смертных
игра для конченых безмамных аутистов которых бьют в дедском доме и пиздят ссаными тряпками на улице прохожие когда узнают что они игроки каллтандера болванников ♥♥♥♥♥♥ которого не любила семья поэтому он решил в сделать пэй ту вин калл и перебафать ватников потомучто его неполноценную семью без отца, матери , бабушки, и дедушки держат в заложниках зэт-свинки которые приказывают ему делать очередной патч с новым донатиком и бафать до апиздюления совок и "пакистанский" танк оплот
The gameplay is "fun" (at least in lower ranks) but everything around it isn't, infamously the grind is unbearable. I would be fine with that if I couldn't see an 80€ F-14D right under as i write this. But it's free so I guess it's worth a try if you're interested, though I wouldn't recomend it; you'll get frustrated and pushed away from it like most concurent players eventually. The game is more focused on getting in new people than keeping their existing players.
