Naval warfare plays a smaller but no less important part of combat in War Thunder. What’s more, new aircraft are currently being prepped for take-off, including some of the most modern jet fighters. The latest update added contemporary air vehicles such as the AH-64 Apache helicopter, while 2019 saw the introduction of the F-4 Phantom, an early jet-fighter that played a key role in the Vietnam war. Yet War Thunder’s air combat isn’t restricted to the planes that battled for Britain and manoeuvred over Midway. From Spitfires to Stukas, B24s to Beaufighters - the game’s attention to detail – both in its visual presentation and in its simulation handling – makes every dogfight exhilarating. War Thunder runs a particularly strong line in World War II aircraft.
The game offers aircraft from multiple nations, ranging from the UK and US to Germany and Japan.
With its roster of 300 planes, all of which are lovingly modelled after their real-life counterparts, it’s an aviation-enthusiast’s dream. War Thunder’s aerial combat is without equal.
