War Thunder

[Papa Hedge]

Just noticed there wasn't a thread for this absolutely epic FTP game!

 

 

War Thunder offers a highly detailed and personalized aviation experience, giving players access to hundreds models of planes with detailed cockpits, dozens of upgradeable weapons, and flying skills that can be honed and improved with each mission. Thanks to the game’s painstaking attention to detail, you’ll truly feel like a World War II fighter pilot as you plunge into battle.

The genuine World War II experience isn’t limited to the skies. The massive historical battles featured in War Thunder cannot be fought by aviation alone, so the game will also expose players to combat on land and at sea.
Features include:

• Varied PvP-experiences set in full-scale combat missions
• Multiple settings options allow advanced virtual pilots and beginners to enjoy playing the game together
• Rich PvE content: dynamic campaigns, solo missions, mission editor, and much more for single-player and cooperative gameplay
• Impressive diversity includes detailed models of planes and their cockpits, as well as tanks and ships
• Astonishing graphics, authentic sound effects, and beautiful music

trying it out right now

I used to play it quite a lot, but I feel that the amount of grinding you have to do to get to higher-tier planes is really large, and it's near impossible to get the highest-level planes without hundreds upon thousands hours of gameplay. Of course, you could pay to get said planes, but I think the game is slightly more in favor of pay to win rather than it being equalized. 

 

Still though, tonnes of fun.

you're right that it can be a bit of a grind...but that said, the low level planes still have great charm. I for one love running with my Hurricane MK2's and Spitfire MK1!

Yeah, I went the US Airforce route, and my Airacobra and Kittyhawk are the best things ever. Now if only I had a joystick.

I play this game quite regularly. It is a ton of fun, and extremely satisfying. I only play Historical Battle mode, and have logged probably around 200+ hours into it. If you're into dog-fighting this is an amazing game to do it. It has the quality of a AAA title, but obviously not being complete (Beta) and its fair share of bugs. I recommend!
