Hello fellow TeamLiquidians. I come to you today bearing tidings of a free to play online multiplayer war game called War Thunder. It's like the game World of Tanks that's constantly being advertised on this site, except this one is currently focused on war planes (and has much better visuals). The game entered open beta test a short while ago, but has almost no bugs whatsoever.

Now, this is NOT an advertisement. The reason I'm bringing this to your attention is that our fledgling European community can definitely use a population boost. The more players we have, the better the overall experience for all of us, and the faster the development process will be.

Here's a little sampler (note that the trailer was made with the game engine, so the game itself really does look like that):


So, come in, check it out (for free), and if you like it, stick around.

See you in the skies.



Some responses to those who are wondering:

The game controls perfectly fine with a mouse and keyboard, so those who don't have a joystick or are uncomfortable using one won't have any problems here.

On the other hand, if you want a game tailored for joystick use, then you'll be interested in the "Historical Battles" and "Full Real Battles" modes.

And seriously, this is not an ad. A couple of us community guys just figured that more people should know about this game.

Looks a bit like Advertisement to me, mate. =)

Also, i guess you would be better off in the Sports&Games section. Nonetheless, will check their website.

Yeah, I saw someone post a thread about it over there a couple of weeks ago, but it go only 2 responses and has since been forgotten, and as I've said, we really want to get more people playing this.

Should be in the Sports & Games section.

But one question pops to my mind, since World of Tanks was pretty successful, and they are now focusing on their own Airplane MMO, World of Warplanes, do you think they can compete with this one? Or vice-versa.

I really should get joystick before starting to play these games. Always loved to fly, but never had the equipment..

Can't say anything about War Thunder at the moment (downloading right now) - but World of Warplanes really sucks. I used to play World of Tanks like there is no tomorrow, got into closed Beta for WoWarplanes - and it sucked sooo badly. Maybe stuff changed, but it wasn't fun at all. Not because i dont like Flightsims (played the crap out of "Heroes in the sky"), but, i don't know, it just "feels" off.

WoWP is a turd, no doubt. This, on the other hand, is miles ahead, in terms of playability, performance and visual quality.

Are "parties" free to play, or is it like World of Tanks in the early days, you need premium to play with a friend? I'm too lazy to search for it on the page right now, it's slow due to the download. -.-

Edit: maybe im weird, but somehow that is a +argument for me, even though i mostly play these games with premium. It feels "fairer" to me, don't like ripoff-f2ps.

No you dont need prem to play with a friend. Also Unlike World of tanks you can actually kill a higher ranked plane in a starter plane.

At the moment you can have a squad of 4 people playing together without having to pay. I don't know if they'll be reducing that number when the game goes retail.

Thanks for the info.

Dbars, that's not neccessarily a good thing. At some point i want to smash lvl5 people with my lvl255 plane, i hope there is a sense of, uhm.. "advancement". Like, that you feel you get stronger, and not just a prettier plane (and yes, it's the Diablo/WoW Syndrome -.-)

edit: im dl-ing right now, need to go shopping tho. Maybe at some point we'll meet in War Thunder. Will post feedback for others later.

Well, at the moment, the planned tier spreads for matchmaking are 0-4, 5-10 and 11-20, so if you have the top tier plane in any of those spreads (once they are aimplemented), then you should be top dog in battle.

Oh, also, you guys should check this guy's videos:


He's a World of Tanks veteran who's making the transition into War Thunder and has a bunch of very informative videos on the game.

I probably could have worded that better. Like you dont feel useless in a match if you are a low tier plane.

Been playing it for a while with some friends. It's really fun and planes do get better. More guns, higher speeds and everything. You'll start hating the starterplanes once you get your first real fighter!
