War Thunder Beta goes Global!

You can wait to get an invitation key, or...

Warthunder Store


I've bought a $19,99 account (Fw.190D-13 FTW). nickname SacaSoh for any of you that want to add me as friend.

I'll see if I spot you in game.

I was in the beta and got my account wiped when I updated this morning. Not a problem, they gifted a Hurricane and Typhoon so I'm not too upset!

Lots of new players on the servers but most seem to be on my teams!

I've been to the official website and the information is vague at best. Is there a mission editor with any of this? What maps come with these starter kits? $79.00 for a "starter kit" of any kind is pretty steep IMO.

Exciting to see it open up. It looks really nice so far.

I wonder if there will still be a free-to-play element, as the store prices sort of infer that in-game currency (eagles?) and active premium subscriptions are the way it has gone?

Either way, good to see another WWII flight game take shape.

Hi FF that's right, the eagles are the paid for currency.

You can grind to most aircraft and get XP but it's slower without eagles. There's a few game areas that you need a premium account to access - again paid for with eagles.

Any impressions of the single-player aspect? Noticed that there are two single player campaigns listed in a couple of the starter kits.

I know single player certainly isn't the 'main attraction', just curious if anyone's tried the campaign (or the 'quick editor' for single player)

Cool, pretty much standard stuff for MMOs. I'm pretty sure I purchased Wings of Prey via a YuPlay account way back, so I'll dig back and see if I can find the email I used. A peek at the WoT forums seems to indicate that they might be opening up the invites for a few more North American people etc.

Looking forward to it now smile

The single player missions I tried were similar to Wings Of Prey gameplay.

I've played mostly arcade settings MP sessions. I'm keen to try some more realistic missions.

Hey SacaSoh,

Just managed to say Hi before the game ended!

cool, thanks for the single player info - might have to give this a try one day, even just to enjoy the graphics.
