War Thunder is a sprawling free-to-play military MMO that brings together aviation, ground vehicles, and naval warfare spanning from the early twentieth century to cutting-edge modern hardware. This action-driven simulation invites players into major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, pitting millions of participants against one another across an environment that keeps evolving. Aircraft, attack helicopters, tanks, and warships all operate together in realistic, competitive engagements.
With a roster of over 3,000 vehicles, the game offers an enormous variety of combat roles, many of them exclusive. One moment you might be firing on pursuers from a bomber turret, the next defending ground troops with anti-aircraft guns, unleashing rocket fire on enemy planes, or trying to torpedo a warship from a fast attack boat. Every vehicle is crafted from historical documents and surviving references, and around 100 maps recreate the major theaters of historical conflict. Seamless cross-platform play links Windows PC, Linux, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox players on shared servers, while adjustable difficulty settings scale the intense PvP full-scale missions to suit both newcomers and veterans of the simulation genre.
