For fans of action and tactics, the military MMO War Thunder offers a comprehensive package. But is the game still worth it in 2023?
What's War Thunder about?
War Thunder has been around for almost exactly ten years and is probably already familiar to many, after all the gameplay takes place on huge battlefields between 32 or 64 participants. The battles are fought on the ground with tanks, in the air with airplanes and helicopters, and in the oceans with battleships and coastal boats. Meanwhile, there are even combined battles in which tanks and aircraft or ships and aircraft can participate at the same time.
In 2023...
Over time, War Thunder has been regularly updated with graphical improvements to keep up with current requirements, but also to support technical innovations such as DLSS on PC. The Dagor Engine 6.5 is now in use.
Thanks to it, almost all graphics in the game have been improved recently. This also makes small details such as movable tank tracks, tire marks on the ground, and volumetric effects such as reactive clouds look much more modern than ever before. So you can say that the game will still be worth it almost ten years after its initial release thanks to the constant adaptation of graphics and gameplay.
At least the number of players on Steam has been steadily increasing over the past months and years. So it's also worth a look in 2023 for newcomers.
