Aircraft handle well, even in Arcade. Every type has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, and it's up to the pilot to learn its best aircraft and tactics.

Tanks actually feel like armored vehicles. No health bars, damage feedback allows tankers to correct their aiming under combat. Smoke rounds allow slower or damaged tanks opportunities to approach the battlefield, or retreat to safer grounds.

Naval is alright. At least we can control our own aircraft.

Feeling nostalgic, I decided to give it a go, having given War Thunder a rest.

It feels like driving an RC car, with a BB gun glued on top of it.

Back to War Thunder

Playing on Bridges of Druzhina, defending from German invaders. The river has been lost, we're struggling to hold the forest. My squad sticks to the left side of the map. We hope to camp the northern end of the river, and shoot any German trying to get through.

MG34 at the other side opens up. Three of us are cut down. Squad Leader tries to throw smoke, gets done by Panzer IV coming up. Three of us are left, hugging the dirt behind a fallen tree.

Panzer IV keeps moving, ignoring our presence. Some German infantry is moving past the tank. Us three have an engineer, a machine gunner and a rifleman (Myself). Machine gunner sets up his gun, engineer tries to sprint to the tank. MG34 on the river kills both.

I grab the engineer's satchel, and the machine gunner's revolver. Drop everything else. Hold the satchel ready, all I gotta do is run what looks like a hundred meters, NOT die from fascist machine gun and toss the satchel onto the tank.

I run. The ground below me erupts, as the machine gun fires. Tank is still 75 meters away. I can HEAR every single bullet hitting the ground my feet had stepped on just a moment ago. Tank is 50 meters away. Sight turns bloody, HUD shows that I've been hit in the right leg. I keep running. The tank is just 25 meters away. Another hit, is my left arm. I didn't need it, anyway. I toss the satchel, then turn left. There is a small trench just a couple of meters away, I can lay down and patch myself up. Machine gun finally drops me to the ground.

As my vision blacks out, I stare at the sky above. A massive eruption shooks the earth, black smoke and metal debris raining above me. With my final breath I draw my middle finger towards the screen.

10/10 would die for the soviet cause again

Spray to your heart's content, play modded games and import as many custom sounds and models as you want.

It's the CS experience everyone knows and loves.

Not groundbreaking, but not dissapointing either. Solid multiplayer, hampered by bad map design. Could've used extra months to iron out some details.

THE sandbox game. You should get it now, even if is only for creating a catapult and tossing Kleiner (And yourself, why not?) across flatgrass.
