About Exact Ratio
Exact Ratio publishes one thing: a five-step reading course for people in Australia who are new to online vehicle combat games on a desktop computer. There is nothing to join, nothing to buy from us, and no account of any kind.

Content on this site is attributed to the MBRODA s.r.o. editorial team. We do not publish bylines, staff profiles or author biographies, because the material is general reference writing rather than anyone's personal account, and a named author would imply an expertise claim we are not making.
Our editorial method
The course was structured backwards from the questions an adult in Australia tends to ask in the first hour of considering a game of this kind. We wrote down those questions in the order they arise, grouped them into five, and then wrote each step to answer its group completely enough that a reader does not need to go elsewhere mid-step.
Each step ends in a checklist because a checklist is what survives contact with a real evening. The reasoning lives in the step; the list is what you take with you.
What each step relies on
| Step | What it relies on |
|---|---|
| Step 1 — What these games are | General description of how the category works, plus the vendor's and affiliate network's own description of the example product. No performance or quality claims. |
| Step 2 — Will your computer run it | The operating system documentation for finding system information, and the principle that only the vendor's own published requirements are authoritative. We quote no figures. |
| Step 3 — Classification, terms and your details | The Australian Classification Board for classification, the OAIC for privacy rights, the ACCC for consumer law, Scamwatch and the ACSC for account security. |
| Step 4 — First account and tutorial | The ordinary sequence common to this category, described generally rather than as a walkthrough of any one product's screens, plus the eSafety Commissioner on gaming settings. |
| Step 5 — Spending and staying in control | General description of free-to-play commercial structures, and the Australian bodies that handle each category of complaint. |
Rules we hold ourselves to
- No figure we cannot source. If a claim would need a statistic, a benchmark or a test result to mean anything, and we do not have one from a source we can link, the claim is left out rather than estimated.
- No prices. Prices change, differ by region and are set by the vendor. The only reliable price is the one on the vendor's own page in Australian dollars at the moment you look.
- No testimonials or reviews. The household in the worked example is explicitly hypothetical, has no name, and makes no claim about any product's results.
- No superlatives presented as fact. We do not describe anything as the best, the safest or the most anything.
- Where we do not know something about a product, the course says so rather than filling the gap.
- Australian government bodies are linked rather than summarised, because they keep their material current and we would not.
The commercial relationship, stated plainly
This is the part most sites bury, so: War Thunder, the product named throughout the course, is a product we have a commercial relationship with. Links to it are paid affiliate links. If you register an account after following one, the affiliate network that operates the link pays MBRODA s.r.o. a commission. That is how this site is paid for.
What that relationship does not do is decide what the course says. It is the reason a specific product is named at all — a course with no concrete example would be vaguer and less useful, and we are honest that the example chosen is the one we are paid on. It is not the reason for any particular description, because every description of it on this site comes from what the vendor and the network state, and nothing else.
It also does not change the course's structure. Steps 1, 2 and 3 are entirely usable without ever following an affiliate link, and Step 5 spends most of its length on reasons to spend nothing. The Affiliate Disclosure sets the arrangement out in full.
What this site is not
It is not War Thunder's official site, and it is not operated by, authorised by, endorsed by or affiliated with Gaijin Entertainment or any other company named on it. It is not a news outlet, and nothing here is reporting. It is not a download site; we host no software and no installer. It is not accredited training, and finishing the course produces no certificate, because there is nothing to finish and nobody to record it.
How often this is reviewed
The course is reviewed at least every six months, and sooner whenever something in it stops matching what a reader would actually encounter. A review checks three things: that every outbound link still resolves to what it claimed, that the Australian bodies named still handle what we say they handle, and that nothing in the steps has quietly become wrong. The date of the most recent review appears in the footer of every page.
If you find something inaccurate, the fastest way to get it fixed is to write to us. Corrections are made to the page itself rather than noted elsewhere, and the review date is updated when they are.
