It's a good bash, the main action is in the arcade area but HB and Full Real are getting more popular as it goes on. Don't bother with a joystick for arcade, use keyboard and mouse.

The visuals are quite stunning, the choice of aircraft is excellent and the promise of the addition of playable tanks and ships in the future is something to look forward to.

Have fun.
HA! Ive used a joystick in arcade... though it is a bit over sensitive, barrel roll for everyone!

The ships and tanks should be interesting. Would be nice for someone to do something with tanks other than Wargaming.

Sometimes it's nice to just watch the other players to see scenes like this


Boom!


Some people would say that I'm flying too low here...


The driver of that half-track certainly would...


Some people would say that THIS is flying too low...


Those people would be right...


Pretty view though


Well, the damage models are good, but they're not Oberon proof. I put my wing and part of my fuselage through two German half-tracks and then bumped along the ground a couple of times and just suffered a broken prop.
Still, nothing's perfect.

War Thunder is now 20% cooler!



Quote:
The War Thunder global update on April 1st 2013 introduces the following types of pony: Yellow, White, Purple, Pink, Orange and Blue ponies. Happy little horses are ready to spray friendship with an impressive arsenal of precisely modelled armaments — from magic pony-bombs to large calibre rainbow machine guns.

As soon as I get my controls mapped**, I swear I'll be running this thing and having fun. While Worlds of Warplanes is nice enough on its own, War Thunder looks like a wee bit more enjoyable.

** = I've tried twice so far to get my gamepad mapped to my preference to no avail; I must be rushing something as I usually don't have tons of time to devote to fiddly crap when I want just want to fly around and shoot things.

never used a gamepad as a controller, I use mouse and keyboard most of the time, while I do have a few in my squadron playing with joystick and trackIR5

I'm more of a joystick fan myself but I figure that a gamepad kind of gives me more bang for the buck in terms of button usability in a package that is somewhat compact (in my opinion). Eh. Could be an exercise in futility but what the hey.
