Now simulation mode on consoles will become as comfortable as arcade mode

Gaijin Entertainment announces the start of the production of War Thunder Controller – the unique device compatible with all major gaming platforms.

One single War Thunder Controller can be used for ground vehicles, ships, jets, helicopters as well as any future types of military hardware. There will be no need to switch between four different control devices right in the middle of a gameplay session, not anymore. Players will easily hop from one vehicle to another using the War Thunder Controller only.

Previously PC players at least had the option of manually building a complicated setup of several control devices to fight both on ground and in the skies in one battle. But console players will unlock the full potential of simulation mode in War Thunder for the very first time. The experience of driving historically accurate vehicles into battle will now be available on all platforms – and without compromising the level of realism.
