War Thunder

War Thunder is easiest to pitch as the one free game that covers every side of mechanised war. Aviation runs from 1930s biplanes to modern jets with radar and guided missiles, Ground Forces models armour, crew and ammunition the way a simulator would, and the fleet goes from coastal torpedo boats up to battleships. All of it lives in one account and one hangar, with cross-play to PlayStation and Xbox, so the Spitfire you fly at lunchtime and the Leopard you take into a city fight after dinner earn toward the same garage. The early ranks are where the game is at its most generous, and that is exactly where a new account starts — with a bonus vehicle of your choice and three days of Premium.
