Our overview

War Thunder puts thousands of carefully modelled vehicles into large online battles that swing between arcade fun and genuine simulation. You pick a nation, work through an aircraft, ground or naval tree, and learn how each machine behaves. Matches reward patience and positioning far more than reflexes alone, which is why the game has held a loyal following for years.

How it actually plays

  • Vehicle research trees split across air, ground and naval forces
  • Arcade, realistic and simulator battle modes with different physics rules
  • Crew training and module upgrades that change handling and survivability
  • Team-based objectives rather than pure deathmatch scoring

What it does well

  • An enormous vehicle roster with genuinely distinct handling
  • Three difficulty layers, so the same battle can suit casual or serious play
  • Regular content updates and a stable, long-running player base

Worth knowing first

The learning curve is steep, and early progress through a nation's tree takes real time.

Free to start. Optional purchases cover premium vehicles, account boosts and cosmetics.

Who this suits

Players who enjoy military simulation and long-term progression. Simulation fans, history buffs and competitive PvP players.
