Cheap, dirty clones.

You can't even necessarily fight it legally if the clone is "distinct."

That being said, I think there's less risk once your game "takes off" like WarThunder. Barotrauma is another good example where a clone is unlikely now.

I remember a game called Armored Warfare, that was like a mashup of World of Tanks and War Thunder, with modern vehicles, upgrades, multiple factions, more PvE focus and actual story missions (with sci-fi elements and cheesy voice acting).

It played well and looked nicely, too, though for whatever reason it never took off. If a game that well put together didn't attract a notable following, I doubt any others will either.
