Those are a poor substitute for a joystick, let alone a simpit with a stick HOTAS and rudder pedals (which I also have for PC). Have you touched a controller? Yes I know it has analog sticks. (if you even care which I sincerely doubt) To the devs: A summary of where you went wrong and what you might do to gain a following on consoles.

It very quickly went from a game I couldn't put down to one I'll never touch again. Neat.Īnd thus ends my experience with War Thunder. Here my foes are able to play with eight appendages while I have potatoes for hands. So then the Google gods blessed me with the knowledge of 'cross platform War Thunder'. 'What am I doing wrong? There has to be some cheating going on' I thought. Once I thought I had it down I went back into the game to see if I could maximize my chances of success. So I went about figuring this new system out. And that's when the Google gods blessed me with the discovery of the 'Battle Rating'. Finally, I earned my second Tier II plane. I started doing pretty well, earning my first tier II plane.Īll was well for the first day, and the morning of the second. I liked the thought of progression and enjoyed earning upgrades and new planes. The arcade mode fit very well with the controller.

My first impression was that I couldn't put it down. I was tooling around on my X-Box the other day though and saw that War Thunder is available for X-Box so I picked it up. So, I've been looking at War Thunder for several years, but have been into more realistic sims.
