War Thunder; Otherwise Known as Ramming Thunder!

Dogfights? Ask no more!

Arrr me mateys! Ever wonder what it would be like to fly in the South Pacific, crushing the German offensive? Shooting down Russian planes as an American? Well here’s your chance! War Thunder is a new MMO flight simulator which does just that. Jump into the fray as your favorite World War 2 airplane and crush the enemy, with well over 20 different aircraft to choose from, ranging from fighters, attackers, and bombers. Now you too can feel what it was like to fly in the most historical wars of our time.

Suicidal Pilots and Ace Bombers!

Still in the beta phase comes a beautifully crafted flight simulator to have those infamous dogfights you can only dream of. Whether you are an ace pilot or a strategic bomber, this game has it all. Choose what weapons you need during that mission to maximize efficiency and lead your team to victory! When your weapons can’t get the job done, well, there is always ramming your plane mindlessly into another. Yes, it happens quite frequently and is annoying. But hey, if you can’t shoot them down, why not take them down with you and remember to show them the birdie! HAARR HARRR!

Beta Phase with more to come!

Gaijin Entertainment is still working on implementing two other features which introduces fleets and ground forces, like vehicles. I am looking forward to seeing what they have in store for those–just think, sitting in an anti-aircraft gun with a load of flies to shoot down! What fun!

History buffs would love this!

As for controls go, using the mouse and keyboard is recommended unless you are familiar with flight controls otherwise, break out the flight stick and take to the skies. The flight stick is quite sensitive so adjust it as needed. So if you are a diehard fan of WWII planes and its history, or just love flight combat simulators, this game is a must have! It is free to download over at War Thunder.
