Not really. Barely anyone buys game for the engine. The story and game mechanics are much more important.

In the sim game genre, the two are somewhat intertwined and customers are also more aware of what the engine does. Car and flight enthusiast sim people absolutely do shop for physics, flight model, and so on to some extent.

I don't know where on the spectrum from casual to enthusiast sim War Thunder is. I looked at YouTube and the game looks graphically primitive, so the engine would have to do something else that's impressive.
