War Thunder Tanks, jets and warships in one fight

You and your co-op friends pick your rides from more than 3,000 aircraft, helicopters, tanks, and warships, then land in the same large battle. One of you blasts pursuers from a bomber turret while another holds the ground with anti-aircraft guns, fires rocket launchers, or lines up a torpedo run from a fast attack boat. Aircraft, ground forces, and naval ships are meant to collaborate, so a good squad covers each other across land, air, and sea.

The core is full-scale PvP combat missions at various difficulty settings, for different play styles and experience levels. That means you can queue together, join a lobby, and jump straight into the shooting, with 100 maps drawn from historical battle theaters to rotate through. Matches are competitive and fast-paced, and with cross-platform play on one shared server, nobody has to sit out because of hardware.

When facing other players sounds like too much togetherness, there is rich PvE content including dynamic historical campaigns and solo missions. Regular updates add new vehicles, maps, missions, and nations, so the practice target tends to change shape.

The vehicles are highly detailed and built from historical documents and surviving sources, spanning the early 20th century to modern combat units, with authentic sound effects and music. With that much hardware around, every squad develops strong opinions about favorites.
