Overview of War Thunder

"War Thunder" is a famous war simulator from the russian (the terrorist state) publishing house Gaijin Entertainment. Breathtaking graphics, realistic gameplay, and an overwhelming number of historical vehicles: self-propelled guns, tanks, anti-aircraft guns, and aircraft, from World War II to Korea, through the fabric of history and hundreds of actual battles. One hundred percent immersion in history, familiarity with actual military prototypes, a flurry of emotions and the splendour of regularly changing views - this is what awaits customers during the passage of one of the most iconic games of 2013.

Instead of a character levelling system, "War Thunder" ties the development of the plot to a faceless crew, land or aviation by developing the skills of which you can open the following slots in the hangar, that is, the following types of military equipment. Each crew member needs pumping - shooter, pilot or driver and technician. The crew has origins: British, Japanese, Americans and, of course, Germans and citizens of the country of the Soviets. Therefore, by choosing one of the five nations, you can get acquainted with the weapons used during the War.

What should a simulator be like?

When developing "War Thunder", our compatriots from Gaijin tinkered thoroughly. Firstly, the locations betray not only the modern look of the area, corresponding to satellite imagery, but also the look of the forties, copied from maps and archival documents. Secondly, the control and mechanics of the movement of vehicles recreate the behaviour of actual cars entirely. And thirdly, ballistics. The physics of shots and hits are rendered so meticulously that it displays even the most minor details. For example, scratches and destruction caused by a bullet hit, considering its calibre, distance travelled, angle of impact, and surface material, not to mention the influence of wind, gravity and so on.

PvP

Locations in "War Thunder" are small, and loading into them takes place in the session. You can fight in the arcade mode against each other, taking control of several cars at once, and in the historical battle mode, recreating some real battles and protecting national interests. But it is also possible to set up your custom modes, for example, for training. The game is equipped with good artificial intelligence to create opponents for players in a single offline. From the MMOTOP.ORG website, we will add that the trick with a frivolous attitude towards War Thunder will not work. It is challenging to hit the target, especially in a historical battle. It requires the same skill that the aces of the times of our grandfathers showed. So those who want to shoot at the crowd of enemies - just by thoughtlessly.
