War Thunder
http://warthunder.com/en/



A free to play game with bonuses for subscription, similar to the World of Tanks business model.
The game currently features air combat, but ground and naval combat are to be introduced. Ground combat is anticipated soon.
The game feature late model biplanes to Korean era jet fighters and everything in between. Players can fly virtually all major combat aircraft from these era's, even B-17 bombers. There are three game modes, arcade, semi-realistic, and full simulator modes. Players can bomb enemy bases, attack infantry, vehicles, tanks, ships. The maps are large enough for good pacing, spanning many kilometers. Game mechanics are complex enough even in arcade so tactics are useful. It's very easy to get into, even the mouse flight is rewarding. Full real for players with TrackIR, joysticks and other peripherals is great. Fly German, Russian, US, Japanese, British, and Italian planes.

Sup fellas, I'm a bit of a warthunder geek atm, usually playing eu time zone. I'm rank 20 US and have all navy fighters inc the panther. I've also got the shooting star as I like the look of the cannon sabre. I'm rank 18 (nearly 19) for Germans, rank 13 Brits, rank 11 for Russia and Japan. My names tomhugill, feel free to add me and we can get flying!
