The more I play War Thunder the more tired I get of flying out fighters. I’ve racked up about 9,600 aircraft kills. It gets a little boring. So I’ve decided to spend more time in my bombers. I’ve got about 5,600 ground kills. It’s a decent amount. The decision to go after ground targets or […]

After launching on November 1st, 2012, War Thunder announced it’s one-year anniversary today. I haven’t played it right from the very start, but I believe I’ve played it for at least six months. It’s been a LOT of fun. War Thunder has had a lot of success. There are millions of registered players right now […]

I get incrementally better each day in War Thunder. Twenty kills in Arcade is still my goal. I managed to down 18 enemy planes the other day in my Beaufighter Mk. VLC. I also got three ground kills. I never got shot down. Perhaps the most important part is my team did win the game. […]

Truth be told, I’m getting a little tired of War Thunder. It was added to Steam, bringing in quite a few new players. It was great for a week or so but the game itself is getting a little old now. Gaijin won’t be rolling out the tanks expansion for a few more months (November, […]

I’ve been having a blast with War Thunder. It’s a terrific game. Gaijin Entertainment just showcased the game for its eventual PlayStation 4 debut with a terrific trailer. But right now I’m wondering whether or not it’s time to spend some money on the game. War Thunder is clearly worth it. Of all the games […]

War Thunder‘s changing again. More changes are coming in a soon-to-be-released patch. It’ll include more planes, of course. However, the changes that intrigue me the most have to do with plane upgrades. We’ll have additional customization options at-hand when it comes to weapons, engines, air frame, etc. As of today, the number of options is […]

I haven’t talked about War Thunder since April. It’s been almost three entire months. I’m still playing it. I still love it. The developer continues to play with the flight models and game economy as they try to please people, but there’s still a ways to go. For me the most frustrating thing about the […]

Gaijin Entertainment got us all today. They released a new video preview showing flying ponies in the game. You know the “My Little Pony” ponies? Yeah, those ponies. Here’s the kicker. They actually put the ponies in the game! I couldn’t believe it. For a game company to go to that level, it blew me […]

There’s been a big adjustment to all of the changes Gaijin Entertainment has implemented in the game lately. I’ve been critical of some of them. Thankfully, they have since undone some of the changes they have made with the patches. I’m grateful for some of the changes even though they haven’t fixed everything in my […]

After going off on that recent patch the other day, I figured I’d give an update on the gameplay. I was very critical of the changes they made. The flight models and controls were changed quite extensively, as was bombing. I’ve had a little more time to play War Thunder and I have to say […]
