#WAR THUNDER TANK SIMULATOR BATTLES UPDATE#

It would be realistic, sure, but not fun to those players who are using outdated machines and can't penetrate enemy's armour at all for example.' In regular battles, you can't simply allow all planes or tanks produced in 1942 to fight each other - some vehicles will simply outclass others as it was during the real WWII where every nation tried so hard to get an upper hand. For example, historical match-up isn't viable option except for some in-game events. 'The number of different vehicles in War Thunder is almost 500, and it is indeed hard to balance all of them. We were particularly interested to find out how the studio manages to keep things on an even keel, especially with so many different options on the field at any one time. Speaking of the balance, the game is getting big. This time, we wanted to test the new nation together with our community, to ensure that all US tanks will be fine-tuned and balanced when the whole line-up will become available to majority of players later this year.'

'The Steel Generals update is a huge experiment for us and our players. The new American tanks are being added on a weekly basis, Gaijin Entertainment's head of PR Alexander Trifonov explains why they are taking such a measured approach. Additionally it offers both more accessible arcade action for casual players as well more advanced modes for veterans of the sim genre. Unlike Gaijin's previous dogfight sims IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey and Birds of Steel, War Thunder was planned as a free-to-play from the start, and the idea was always there to mix ground and air combat. What started out as a pure dogfight simulation has been fleshed out with tanks and currently US ground forces are being added (closed beta testing). Gaijin Entertainment's War Thunder has been making a lot of progress since launching into the open beta phase just over two years ago.
