"Can I use my existing PC-account on PS4?
Sony's current policy requires you to create a new account for the PS4, so you can’t use your existing one. We really hope that Sony some day will change this, but it this is up to them only. If that day will come, we’ll try to make some merging of the accounts, and while it will be technically impossible to merge 100% of your progress on both platforms, we’ll try to do our best. But, again, even that possibility depends on Sony.
On the bright side - you can use your PS4 account to play on PC." - Borisych

Does anyone care about this?
From what I know you are correct in your assumptions and will be able to recover your account on PS4. - QuarterNinja

A reply to someone asking about this 2-3 days ago.
At maximum there's 1% of the players in War Thunder that have put so little time into it that they'll just do a PS4 account and use that account both for PC and PS4. Anyone who has put a lot of time into their PC account is royally Privelaged until further notice. This is a huge disappointment for anyone who looked forward to playing War Thunder on their PS4s. I've spent money and time on this game, I can't just create a PS4 account now and start all over, and even if I wait, there's no guarantee it'll ever happen. And even if that does happen, Gaijin doesn't promise anything.
And apparently, the cross platform accounts will work for other titles. Such as Warframe. While both accounts won't be synced there are options. Warframe players can choose to copy their account over to PS4 once. And as such continue playing seperately, but with all the content they had before. They have this to say about it:
"Why is duality dead? Why cross-platform play isn't always enabled? It comes down to update frequency.
We don't have guarantees yet on when PS4 updates will come out which means they may drift out of sync by several days from PC. If you get a cool new weapon on PC and PS4 does not have it yet, stuff breaks. We could hold PC back, but we didn't think that was fair. Even then, coordinating with multiple console region QA departments adds too many unknowns to bank on this." - DE_Steve

There's no mention of the Sony policy, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The Warframe staff could have chosen just not to speak of it. Nontheless, there's options for Warframe players, even as they met some difficulties. But there's nothing for War Thunder players? Nothing else than it's up to Sony? Obviously other developers are taking matters into their own hands, prioritizing the players. So why can't Gaijin do the same? A copy can be a short term solution. But as for now. there's nothing for us except "It's Sonys fault".
I'm open for learning why this is so impossible with War Thunder. What specifically makes it impossible to solve this? How are the developers at Warframe dealing with this?
TL;DR: No PC accounts on PS4. Developers behind Warframe will allow players to copy over to PS4, War Thunder haven't mentioned such a thing.
