War Thunder

War Thunder is a vehicular combat game with an obsessive commitment to accuracy. Tanks are modelled with individual armour plates and internal components, so a shot can knock out a gunner and leave the vehicle drivable, and aircraft have flight models detailed enough to argue about.

That detail is the appeal and the community's whole personality. The forums are famously populated by people who bring genuine engineering documents to balance discussions, which has resulted in classified material being posted more than once by users trying to prove a tank's armour thickness.

The scope is enormous - thousands of vehicles across aviation, ground forces and naval combat, spanning from the interwar period to modern jets, with mixed battles that put all three in the same match.

The progression is famously demanding, which is part of what makes reaching a favourite vehicle feel like something you earned.

This collection covers tanks, planes and military iconography.
