    Came across this today and was wondering if anyone can tell me some info about it?

    http://warthunder.com/

    Is it really multiplayer or just single player / multi-coop completes missions 1,2,3,4 and then you beat the game?

    How good are the graphics?

    Its really fun multiplayer.

    Multicoop is ok but you don't really gain anything from it for levelling up to get your planes.

    Graphics are awesome.

    it is a ton of fun to play ... Sokar and I are enjoying it for sure

    I am lvl 9 german 4 USA ... got a few premium planes to

    Arcade is quick and fun Historical is a bit harder to fly but more accurate ... real battles dont touch unless u know how to fly

    and all we do is MP

    Premium? Pay real money to buy pretty planes? or planes that you spend in-game earned points/credits/certs/XP or whatever to purchase? I preferr to spend real money I hate the xp grind for stuff.

    MP = how many people can join up and play together?

    If you are premium you can have 4 people per squad. Otherwise its 2.

    You can gain anything from real money. Though to get XP you have to play. Every match you finish you get "free xp"(not really free if you think about it) which is added to a pool that you can buy 1500xp for 1 eagle(premium currency). You can also buy 'Accelerated Training' for your crews that pilot your planes that allows you to train them up.

    I'm sure Erock and I will be in TS tonight, usually down in the small/other games section, if you want to join us and ask all the questions you want. We'll do what we can to answer them.

    Bottom line is that the game is fun. Well worth the time to download, if not spend some money on it. The only time it gets frustrating is when you get put into games with higher ranked planes against you. But you learn ways to deal with them that keeps it fun. AKA turning.
