War Thunder is a pretty popular MMO that's for sure, and it had a lot of people excited when it came to Linux. It has recently been updated with some big new stuff.

New stuff:
- New water rendering
- Introduction of Physically Based Rendering (PBR)
- Support for 64-bit version of the client;
- New destructible environment
- Lots of new vehicles
- New locations and missions

I haven't had a chance to test it myself, but apparently the launcher can also be controlled by gamepad now too. Sounds like a pretty beefy update that's for sure.

See the full announcement here.

Thanks for the info Henrique. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: ElectricPrismThe air-fights were okayish.

But Tank Battles? I love tank Battles!

Anyone remember Battle Tankx from N64 - that game was so awesome, if their Tank Play is good it could be a hook, its so hard to find a good Tank games these days.

If you love arcarde Tank battles you can play WT, but if you want a real WW II Tank Battle Simulation you can play Red Orchestra Ostfront and his Mods.

Quoting: wojtek88That sounds great. My problem is that whenever I see "MMO" abbreviation I know that this game is not for me. I just play when I can and as long as I can (usually with frequent breaks) so MMO games are just not for me.
Anyway, I'm sure that there are a lot of people that will play this title because it looks very nice.

Actually you can get away with really short sessions. Recently I have hardly been playing more than an hour a day, and I usually spread it out over 2 or 3 sessions. An average arcade air battle lasts 10 to 15 minutes.

I just can't get into it, I've tried and tried again after the update. It runs great even on AMD, looks good @1440p on movie but, The UI and imbalance is insane !!!!!
