Help needed please

Hi, I hope this is ok to ask here, My 16 year old son absolutely loves War Thunder (he's been playing for 973 hours) but none of his friends play it. He would really love to find some people to play online with, could anyone help please? We are in the UK, if that makes any difference to time zones and we'd love to find some great people, to help him enjoy his most favourite game. I don't know if this is ok to try and work out on here, but I want to help him in any way I can. Thank you🤞🏻
