War Thunder is an air, ground and naval combat video game, preferably arcade, although the player can choose a realistic or simulated gameplay mode if desired. Developed by Gaijin Entertainment, War Thunder is a free massively multiplayer online video game this game was released on November 1, 2012 and since then has received multiple updates and new vehicles as well as expansion packs, new maps, etc.
In War Thunder, aircraft, ground forces and ships collaborate in competitive, realistic battles. You can choose from over 1900 vehicles and a wide variety of combat situations, many of them exclusive. You can find yourself mowing down pursuers from the turret of a bomber, defending your teammates on the ground from an air strike with anti-aircraft guns, shooting down enemy aircraft with a firestorm of multiple rocket launcher fire, or trying to sink an enemy warship with a torpedo from a speedboat.
Meticulous research when recreating all vehicles pays special attention to the original design and characteristics of each ship, aircraft and tank, ensuring a realistic control experience. Each vehicle is composed of a set of internal components that can be individually damaged by enemy fire, affecting the vehicle's performance. You can temporarily neutralize the enemy's warship or tank by disabling its guns, engines or controls, or completely destroy it by setting fire to the fuel tanks and ammunition.
For example, aircraft in War Thunder can suffer damage to the controls and wings that can significantly limit the maneuverability of the aircraft, but as long as the machine is in the air and the pilot maintains sufficient control it can still influence the outcome of the battle.
like the tanks of combat can suffer damage in the modules of the vehicle as engine, cannon, turret ring that affects the rotation of the turret, tracks, etc. and so well have a system of effect that immediately as they kill your crew affects the operation of this same in combat and in turn if you are shot in the ammunition the tank literally explode as if you set fire only that you developed the extinguishers slowly the life of your crew will go to cutting or an ammunition explode ...
as well as the ships.
Game mode: Arcade
in arcade mode the game is divided into two teams (32 people and 64 people) with aircraft from the six available nations (United States, Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, Empire of Japan, Italy, France, China and Sweden). Although this mode is simpler than the others, it adds realism in terms of the endurance of each aircraft.
This mode has the "Ground Strike", which consists of destroying enemy ground forces (artillery and vehicles), air and naval units and airfields or bombing points. Once this is done, the team that has reached the objectives will win.
There is also "Domination", which consists of capturing and defending at least two out of three airfields. This is achieved by landing the plane on the runway, although it is not necessary to remain standing on it, since you can return to the air and it will still belong to the team that captured it. This game mode is the most arcade of the three modes in the game. The enemies are always marked on the map and includes a default information system, which tells you the distance, model and armor of the enemy, as well as giving you information and shot correction.
With the New Power upgrade that allows the use of nuclear bombs. These immediately end the game making the team that drops the bomb the winner. To get the option to drop the bomb, you must get 15 casualties in a game, something that the community has rated as very difficult.
Game mode: Realistic
Also called "Historical Battles", they are designed for more advanced players due to the difficulty of being more realistic.
An example is that it is more difficult to handle the aircraft and the ammunition is no longer recharged automatically, but you must land on an airfield and wait for it to recharge. The same happens with damage to the aircraft, which will not be repaired unless you return to the base. Unlike the arcade mode, players select only one nation per team, thus recreating a real scenario such as the Battle of Stalingrad between the Soviet Union and the Third Reich.
In land battles the enemies are not marked and the tank is less maneuverable and faster than in arcade battles. You do not get shot correction system and the distance and the place to shoot at to cause damage is not marked on the tank's sight.
Game mode: Simulation
This mode is the most realistic of all and therefore the most difficult and challenging. While in ground vehicles, for the moment only the first-person view of the turrets is available, in aircraft you can take the position of the pilot in the cockpit, or the gunner, realistically designed and historically accurate. The gameplay is also similar to the realistic mode, as the two teams represent two nations, fighting for land and air dominance.
Types of battles:
Air battles
War Thunder was born with air units since its launch, so its arsenal of aircraft in development is quite extensive. We can fly from the fearsome Ju-87 Stuka, to the Boeing B-17, through fighters, such as the Me-262 or the P-47 Thunderbolt, as well as the legendary German fighter FW 190. The game has torpedo planes, to attack AIs that control ships and shoot down planes, which must be destroyed to complete the mission.
in war thunder the valkyries mostly in the update 1.81 introduced helicopters in the game for more inclusion in combat at high levels.
Ground battles
War Thunder has had ground vehicles (tanks) since the release of version 1.42, which had the "Ground Forces" expansion. Currently all factions have a branch of armored fighting vehicles. German vehicles such as the PzKpfw VI Ausf. B (Königstiger), the Panzer V Ausf. B Panther II, and the Jagdtiger, or Soviet vehicles such as the BT-5, T-34, IS-2, T-54 mod. 1958 and the ISU-152. With the 1.45 version, known as "Steel Generals", was introduced to US forces. These include the M4 Sherman, M103, M41 Walker Bulldog, M3 Lee, M15 CGMC and the M22 Locust. Also in version 1.55 "Royal Armour" British ground forces were introduced.
A notable change in the game is the appearance of vehicles with Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM), such as the IT-1, or the Raketen-panzer 2 HOT, which appeared in the 1.59 Flaming Arows update.
Naval battles
With the release of update 1.83 "Masters Of The Sea" all types of ships can be used in the naval battle mode in the arcade or realistic game mode, now you can use coastal craft such as destroyers, submarine gunships, gunboats, torpedo launchers, etc.
Daily rewards
