These realistic matches are generally better and feel like a dangerous game of hide and seek, rewarding the more patient players and punishing those who try to conduct a tank derby. In realistic mode, matches tend to be a bit more restrained and tactical, with players concealing their tanks behind boulders and hillsides, poking their snouts out just enough to spot the enemy and send a few shells their way.
The controls are straightforward, and the arcade matches tend toward the action-packed side, with tanks speeding all over the map, firing constantly, and of course, lots and lots of ramming. The level of detail is on par with the planes, which is to say, the tanks look very nice. War Thunder's three familiar game modes are also present: arcade battles with plentiful respawning and extra-helpful UI targeting elements, realistic battles (formerly historical battles) with scaled-back UI and limited lives, and simulator battles, with no third person view and no on-screen markers.Ĭurrently, only two of War Thunder's five countries are tank-enabled, Germany and the U.S.S.R, each with a light starter tank and several different branches of progressively sturdier vehicles to earn. There are few different types of missions, but as in the plane portion of the game, they all basically boil down to two sides squabbling over control points. It's still the same game, except, you know. There's really no adjustment period, everything still works the same, the tanks don't feel shoehorned in, or out of place. The best way I can sum up Ground Forces is: it's War Thunder, but now there are tanks. Let's tank a look, he said, vowing it would be his only tank pun.
Anyway, if you're wondering if Gaijin Entertainment is as good with tanks as they are with planes, I just spent a couple days rolling around in the Ground Forces beta to find out. I feel like these free-to-play World War II MMOs are in an arms race, and soon they'll be adding submarines and blimps and, I dunno, flying saucers. So, here's a quick refresher: World of Tanks had tanks and War Thunder had planes, and then World of Warplanes had planes so now War Thunder Ground Forces, currently in closed beta, has both tanks and planes fighting in the same world.
