There is arcade, realistic and sim modes - each with increasing complexity (and game length). In teams of a dozen or so, players contest territory (occupying "hotspots" or capturing airbases) or try to destroy ground targets or similar.
Quite a few Youtubers come from down under. I am going to focus this review on Air Battles, Arcade Mode as that is the one I have the most experience in, though there is tank battles and (soon) coastal forces.įellow Aussies seem active in War Thunder. Faced with the choice of a 5 minute game with human players, or no game at all (as long games are out of the question) I tried it again. I now have kids - and my ability to play games is measured in minutes not hours. I preferred IL-2: 1946 (which still is better if you want to just try 400+ WW2 warbirds). Back then, I was a bit of a sim snob, and disliked the keyboard and mouse setup of arcade. It's even relatively kid-friendly (my 4-year-old spectates and offers advice like "shoot that one, daddy!") Actually, there's something for everyone. It can be played single player, co-op or multiplayer. It comes in a range of difficulty from arcade (5 minutes of pew pew with a keyboard and mouse minimum controls) to full sim (spend 5 minutes starting the plane's engines using joysticks etc). It is undemanding on the reflexes, and favours tactics and cunning.
It runs on a laptop or a complete potato PC.
It is about WW2 tanks, planes and (soon) coastal forces like MTBs and S-boats - sometimes mixed together on the same map.
