WarThunder is a multiplayer game combining the use of Tank combat, Air combat, and Ship Combat. Currently in open beta, players can play WWII planes from 5 different countries. United States, England, Germany, Soviet Union(Russia), and Japan. There are three types. Fighters, Attackers, and Bombers. Fighters are very good in dog fighting and are able to take out planes with ease, but lack armor/plating and are weak to AA. Attackers are equiped more heavy and usually have bombs/turpedos to take out Ground/Ships. Bombers are the tanks of the sky. They are equiped with many guns to keep fighters off of them while being able to bomb huge areas of ground and navel units. Each has a unique play style that anyone can enjoy.

The game is using a free to play model similar to that of World of Tanks. You get experience while flying in planes and the better you do the more money and experience you earn/ There are also "premium" planes and the usage of a premium subscription which gives a bit more credits and experience after every battle. Unlike world of tanks you are able to use your things after each battle you leave. This allows players to keep enjoying the plane they enjoy without having to watch the whole battle end.

There are three game modes currently in the game, Arcade, Historic Battles, Full Real battles. The difference between them are difficulty in maneuvering and how the controls work. In arcade you will be able to fly a plane with ease using a mouse and keyboard, as many of things are compensated for you as you fly. Historic battles are battles that took place in real life and you can either make history or change it. This offers a more difficult game play and the flight controls are a tad more sensitive to arcade. Many joystick users play in this mode to get the authentic feel. Full-Real battles are full on flight sim combat matches, where everything counts. Fuel, How you maneuver, ammo, and even taking off and landing. Many elite joystick players love playing this to get the most realistic feel.

Many battles have each of the three vehicles. Attacking ground units make your units get to the objective faster. Killing ships provides less AA to take while assaulting enemy airplanes.

Tanks and Ships will be added at a later date to where there will be full on Tank/Air/Ship battles you can participate in. Tanks range from Light, Medium, Heavy, Tank Destroyer, and AA tanks.

I cannot find any information on Ships as of late, they are probably in early stage development.

I have tried it out and i am having a blast playing the planes. The game is so epic it's very hard to explain. It feels like each thing you do helps the battle to turn in your favor.
