War Thunder "Red Skies" brings many new machines and new locations
Do you hear that? It's the War Thunder! It's back with another huge upgrade named "Red Skies" which comes with plenty of new toys to play with across different nations. When it comes to new vehicles there's around 30 of them spread across aircraft, ground vehicles, helicopters and navy. There's two whole new locations one for mixed battles in the "Red desert" and a naval location named "Drowned city", the latter of which looks like a really interesting play to sail through. The changelog, for such an update, is as long as you might expect for a bigger game like this. Absolutely tons of small fixes, balance changes, damage model updates, physics updates and the list goes on. See the trailer below: Watch video on YouTube.com They also completely overhauled their VR to use the OpenXR standard! However, I have yet to be able to actually get it to work with my Valve Index, it just seems like it doesn't want to run on Linux. The normal desktop/flat version? Great! Enjoy it a lot. The VR side just seems to not work on Linux. Shame but now it's using OpenXR perhaps they can work on it. You can play War Thunder free on Steam or from the official site.Article from GamingOnLinux.com - do not reproduce this article without permission.
