About the game

War Thunder is a free-to-play vehicle combat game by Gaijin Entertainment. Players fly aircraft, drive ground vehicles and sail ships modelled on real machines, from the early twentieth century to the present day.

My experience

My first nuke dropped in ground battles.

It wasn’t actually the first nuke I’d earned. I got one once before with the ZTZ96 at 9.3, but ran out of time before I could drop it. This time I earned it with the ZTZ99A and dropped it. Below are some pictures from the match, a few of them edited.
