War Thunder - PC - PS4 Launch Title

[Knight165]

This game is not about realism....
....and while you can do microtransactions....you don't need to.

Definitely a pick up and play game.
It's just for the fun of shooting someone down....and perhaps some team play.

You don't need friends really. I haven't had any friendly fire issues with just strangers(not even sure if you can shoot team planes or not)

It's ok... I didn't want to play this game anyway.. /sarcasm


But seriously I loaded this game up and it had to do a bunch of stuff and right at I thought it was done it's like oh yea I gotta download some stuff too.

One of my favorite moments happened last night. Guy was doing a head-on pass with me, looking for a collision. Fired 4 rockets straight into him, took him out instantly. First time I ever tried rockets like that. I think I laughed for 20 minutes.


Edit: Did this again today. So, so satisfying against the knuckleheads who love to collide.

Did you know if you're badass enough to submit your captured video to War Thunder, you could get Top 5 plays? Check it out.

I have seen those. Some are spectacular, no doubt. And I am definitely not badass enough to get on the list!



In other news, I have pretty much decided to concentrate on Britain as my country. I now have 3 Spitfires, one of which (the Mark IIb) has a cannon, which is just lethal. I am now researching a Hurricane II to go along with my Spits, Hurricane and my Blenheim. Eventually I would like to have a stable entirely made up of Spits and (someday) and an Avro Lancaster bomber. That's a long way off.



But the British planes give me the best combination of speed, maneuverability and firepower which fit my particular play style the best.



Still working on Japan so I can get my A6M Zero...

Been meaning to ask: is there any way to use voice chat in this game? Typing messages in the middle of aerial combat is a bit beyond my skill set. Got my new headset but don't see a way to use it.

Thanks.

I know there are settings, but have never used it or heard anyone speak over the voice chat. I find most gamers don't use voice chat anymore.

Searching their website for peripherals, it doesn't sound like they do. However, I think its implemented with higher premium accounts. Not really sure. Head started hurting when I was trying to think of the password and email account I created on EU. So, I gave up.
Wanted to give support a holler and ask if we can.
