There are dozens of different ammo types and kinds or armor, which react to each other differently.

Disabling a crew member will reduce the effectiveness of the vehicle. Hitting the fuel tanks or ammo may cause an instant explosion. Destroying the engine or tracks will stop the vehicle from moving, damage the gun barrel or breach and your opponent canвЂ™t shoot back. When you shoot at someone, you donвЂ™t just deplete their health bar.Д®ach tank consists of many internal modules: engine, fuel tanks, turret ring, canon breach, ammo storage, etc., and donвЂ™t forget about crew members. As with planes, War Thunder uses realistic damage modeling for tanks and other vehicles (and separation into Arcade and Realistic game modes). In Ground Forces game modes, War Thunder offers over 400 highly detailed vehicles, from famous ShermanвЂ™s and TigerвЂ™s from World War II to modern steel beasts such as mighty M1 Abrams. YouвЂ™ll never forget those Realistic battles, the ones where you barely made it back to base, gliding back because you were out of fuel, missing an engine and your wings riddled with bullet holes. In this mode, you take off when the mission begins, there are no respawns, and you must return to your airfield for rearming, refueling, and repair. For our more seasoned pilots, we created hardcore Realistic battles. You can jump right in into beginner-friendly Arcade battles that allow you to use several planes per match with automatic reloading of weapons right in the air. War ThunderвЂ™s aviation surpasses all of them and offers more than 600 highly detailed and historically accurate aircraft, including iconic fighters such as the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning, Bf.109, and many others. As a result, War Thunder becomes a living, breathing battlefield thatвЂ™s teeming with planes roaring overhead, tracer rounds crisscrossing the skies, and artillery bombardments.Д«efore War Thunder, we released several award-winning aviation titles Il-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey, Apache Air Assault, and Birds of Steel, all available on Xbox 360.

In Ground Forces battles, players are not only using tanks, but take to the skies (once they earn enough points) to rain fire and destruction from above - which the opposition counters with aircraft and anti-air platforms of their own. Air battles feature AI-controlled ground vehicles that attackers and bombers will destroy to achieve victory. War Thunder reflects real-life warfare where nations unleashed joint military operations. We set out to create a massively multiplayer online game featuring aviation, armored vehicles, and warships from the pre-World War II 1930s to the height of Cold War in the 1980s. From the start, our vision for War Thunder was always ambitious.
