There are three basic tutorials for the three aircraft types, and advanced tutorials for take-off and flight control, aerial combat and landing, carrier take-off and torpedoing and dive-bombing and carrier landing. If you want to get straight in to action and skip the tutorials, or if you ever want have another go at them for some more practice later, you can always access them later from the “Game Modes” menu under “Tutorial”. The tutorial: save the world from the scourge of giant yellow floating circles! There’s a series of tutorial missions covering basic flying, taking off and landing (in other words, not only going up diddley up up, but also down diddley down down), ground attack etc., mostly very useful, though I’ve never had to land on a carrier in a mission yet (thankfully), so don’t panic if you have a bit of difficulty with that one. The first time you launch the game it asks if you want to run through a tutorial, which is a very good idea if you’re new to flight simulators, or haven’t played one for a few years. Pom de pom… Nice weather we’re having, isn’t it? Oh, it’s all installed now? Splendid. Tum te tum… is it still downloading? Yes? Right-o. (Public safety announcement: don’t do that, it’s silly.) Both nickname and password can be changed in your YuPlay profile, so you can correct your nickname to ‘B1gggl3z’ and password to ‘password’ or ‘1234’. Also, you don’t choose a password at sign-up time, the system sends you an e-mail that includes your password you might want to double check your spam bin if it doesn’t seem to turn up.
Couple of things to watch out for: you might get a big green tick next to your chosen nickname and think “Hurrah, nobody else has tried to be ‘Biggles’, I’m unique!”, but the system just slaps a number on the end if the name is taken, so you end up as ‘Biggles2’ (or, quite possibly, ‘Biggles146’).
Update as of 12th June 2013: the account sign-up process has been improved to check for existing names and let you specify a password the introduction to the game for new players has also been overhauled, a fully updated post is coming soon.įirst step is to sign up for an account at.
If you’re after a bit of mutliplayer online World War II flightsim action, though, give it a go. Actually, on reflection, more the War than the Thunder there are clouds, and sometimes rain showers, but I haven’t heard a sonic shock wave caused by lightning in the game yet so fans of meteorology should look elsewhere. I’ve been having a tremendous amount of fun in War Thunder, and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes either War or Thunder. Version 1.31 of War Thunder overhauled the new player experience, please see the revised version of this guide.
