War Thunder

About this game

War Thunder is a multiplayer video game developed and published by Gaijin Entertainment in a multiplatform format for Microsoft Windows, MacOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Shield Android TV . The game has micro payments. War Thunder is a battle simulator . You can play it in four possible modes: Agility (AB) Realistic (RB) and Simulation (SB) is also a bit of Non-standard battles, but this is not an official game mode, it is mainly used to learn to play on a map, learn to fly, or also common training with friends or your squad (Clan) The Arcade mode is a so-called simplified mode in which you can see where the opponent is, in which place or in which advance to shoot him, and also the machines are faster, more agile and have infinity of ammunition. In air and sea battles, we have unlimited access to a fair number of machines, how many machines we have available depends on how many places we have in the template and whether the machine has not been destroyed during the ongoing battle. In tank battles, we can choose only 3 machines. Realistic mode is distinguished by the fact that the machines behave as in real life, the opponents are not visible immediately, we have to take into account in advance how to shoot and at what distance, the machines have the same parameters as in real life and there is also limited access to ammunition, If it's over, we have to go to the taken point or return to the airport. In air battles, we can only take 1 machine and in tankers it depends on the number of points we collect The Simulation mode is practically the same as the real trym. With two exceptions, the view is always first-person and we do not see our allies and so in the event of a mistake when we send an arrow to the ally we can seriously damage it or eliminate it completely from the battlefield.

War Thunder is a free download video game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It is a proposal of war simulation of online multiplayer confrontations. The product of the Russian company Gaijin Entertainment has a large number of maps, planes, warships and scenarios that recreate environments of historical wars. From World War II to the Cold War.
