The team behind the MMO War Thunder could hardly believe their eyes yesterday: 100,000 players were logged in to their game simultaneously! To share this joy with you, celebrations will take place next weekend. But what is War Thunder actually?
Simply put: A mix of the MMOs World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, and World of Warships. You have countless vehicles, such as planes, tanks, and ships, to choose from, with which you can experience exciting PVP battles set in World War II. But even the PVE players among you won’t miss out on dynamic campaigns and single missions.
Just a few days ago, the Ground Forces expansion entered open beta. This brings ground combat to the forefront of the war MMO to excite the tank fans among you. Future plans include controllable ships as well.
However, even now War Thunder is a sight to behold, as it is complemented by detailed depictions of the vehicles and combat mechanics, successful graphics, realistic sound effects, and fitting music. As a pilot, you have full visibility into your cockpit, as authenticity is highly emphasized in War Thunder!
PlayStation players among you will unfortunately have to wait a bit longer, as the release date for Ground Forces on PS4 is still unknown. All PC players can try out War Thunder for free! You can register on the official website. We’ve put together a small video collection for you to get an idea of this MMO:
What do you think, is War Thunder an alternative to the classics of the genre, such as World of Tanks?
