War thunder community?

[pops-paolo]

I know the guys up top are kinda skeptical about flight sims but war thunder is so much fun and in general video games propelled my love for history and planes. If it weren't into historical video games I would be a weeb or I would be playing Minecraft all-day

If you are interested put your name down
My highest br for tanks is like 6.3 Italy 4.0 Germany 2.3 France
for planes 2.3 Italy
my gamer tag is pops_paolo

I played WT when it was just released but lost interest after 2-3 months or so. Tried again several times in past years, but did not continue, except occasional skirmishes in ships. It is a good product and I was glad to see that Gaijin succeeded after the first failures.
But WT is missing something which attracts me to old Il-2 1946.

I’m not averse to flight sims, but I don’t seem to find the time for it anymore. Also I lack a good gaming computer nowadays. Still startup flightgear every now and then, for some serious flightsimming. Pitty IL2 doesn’t work on Linux.

Anyone see the "Squire" and his War Thunder videos? I don't play any sims but I enjoy watching his stuff. "Everything Wrong With German Aircraft", "The Hunt for Red Octoberfest", "When Tanks Don't Die" are just a few.

Yeah, he's so famous in community! That's good.

There are many good WT videos on Youtube. I still keep Haechi in my subscriptions despite he(she?) stopped producing. Amazing work.

what are you my dad why are you using linux

No, I don’t think I’m your dad as far as I know
Why I use Linux is a long story, but if you want a few reasons:
- I prefer free and opensource software
- I want to have full control of my computer
- I hate to have to run anti virus software
- I don’t want to be spied up on by Microsoft
- Windows’ interface sucks
- Linux doesn’t get slower over time

I can go on all day

Unless you are using Linux for a professional purpose there is really no need for it

That’s when you use Windows.

Apart from the fact that I do, there is fortunately no reason for me to use the abomination called Windows.
