If you truly love military games and are looking for a community to match that energy, then War Thunder is the game for you. The free-to-play combat MMO boasts over 70 million players, so not only are you likely to meet your new best friend on the battlefield, but you might learn a thing or two about some real-world weapons of war while doing it.
With all manner of historic and modern vehicles to command, you can take the fight to some of the most passionate players on the planet on land, in the air, and at sea. Perhaps your new teammates are incredibly knowledgeable about the armor structure of the Challenger 2 tank, and the turret rotation speed of the Leclerc, or perhaps you’ll learn some interesting facts about the Apache helicopter. Either way, there will be plenty to talk about while you send rounds downrange at the enemy.
You can experience the thrill of combat and the adrenaline rush of victory in some of the greatest feats of military engineering that mankind has ever devised, with access to over 2500 separate, highly detailed, and expertly modeled vehicles that cover over 100 years of warfare. More than 140 maps representing different theaters of war are waiting for you to devise cunning tactics and implement your battle plans. For those players who might be a little shy about some PvP action, there are rich PvE campaigns and solo missions for you to dive into.
The remarkably passionate team of developers at Gaijin Entertainment has gone to great lengths to offer fans a challenging, exciting, and detailed experience, allowing them to feel what it is like to take on the ultimate combat challenge from the comfort of their own homes.
And that passion is met by the most uniquely enthusiastic community that sees millions of people from all over the world take part in battles every day. Remember, you don’t need to know the ins and outs of every aspect of every vehicle in the game to have fun. You definitely don’t need access to any classified documents to take advantage of everything these vehicles can do in the game, but we guess it couldn’t hurt.
If you find yourself caught up in a heated debate about the ins and outs of jets, helicopters, tanks, or battleships, remember that it’s best to believe the person you are talking to. They may just have the evidence to back up their point. Remember, War Thunder’s passionate players will go to great lengths to win a match, but they’ll go even further to win an argument.
To join in the fun, you can download War Thunder here for free or head to the PlayStation and Xbox stores.
