War Thunder Ground Forces (Tanks add on teaser and first screenshots in game)

[IvanSidorenko]

War Thunder is a next generation MMO combat game dedicated to World War II military aviation, armored vehicles, and fleets. You will take part in all of the major combat battles, fighting with real players all over the world.

War Thunder has had huge success with over one million players signing up to play it. I believe this game is 10x better then world of planes and soon to be better then World of Tanks. (Also they will be adding in battle ships, fleets, air carriers once done with the planes/tanks) ( They already have screenshots on the Japanese fleet on their website.)



Please note that the work is in progress and these early screenshots do not reflect the final quality.

These are actual in-game screenshots with early textures, lights and shadows. Pictures were taken right from the game.







Also if you have not giving this game a try I recommend you do the beauty of the graphics alone are the worth the plane everything is perfection from the dirt on the ground to the sun glare. (Also this game is great for mouse and keyboard users and also Joystick users they have a game mode just for Joystick users and game modes for both. The controls work great and are fluent for each.)

WT is a great game so far, I find it to be a much better product than WoWP, but I'm more interested in the AFV aspect. That's what I'm waiting for, to see if it's better than WoT.
