I did a search for this game but didn't find anything, so I apologize if this is a repost.
I've watched a few videos from KrebsCOHO on this game (War Thunder) so I decided to try it out last night. If you've played Wings of Prey it is similar (same maker? the theme music is the same I think), but it's an MMO and has an unlock tree and upgrade feature not unlike World of Tanks. I don't know a ton about the game yet but it seems they will also add in ground and naval warfare at some point.
You can play Arcade mode, Historical Battle, or Realistic mode IIRC. I just played Arcade and used keyboard + mouse for controls (I have a Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS I'll have to try though) and it worked very well actually. The graphics are beautiful and the game is a lot of fun. I can definitely see myself wasting a crap-ton of time on this game, haha. :awe:
There's only a EU server at the moment but I didn't have a problem playing at all. The Open Beta is out now. Free-to-play Combat Flight MMO. War Thunder official site.
