Okay. That, is freaking awesome. Some of those designs, stayed true to good old Westwood design. Respect, Gaijin. Didn't see this one coming and we're actually pleasantly overjoyed.
Wow, this is not just an amazing April fool's video, I love the fact that the also pays homage to Dune RTS games made by Westwood studios. Although, the Dune 2000 is the only game that I played in the series, I just simply love the setting of that game, where you are fighting against other noble houses in the desert planet of Arakis, in order to gain of the planet's production of spice melange, while also under the threat of being eaten alive by a giant sandworm. It just make wish for a Dune RTS game with modern graphics.
I love that this game continues to exceed my expectations. I almost lost it when I saw that this year’s event seems to be based off of Dune!!! I cannot wait to stream this later!
Great reference to the "dune the battle for arrakis" game. I played it on the genesis system and you will see the similarities in the structures on the maps.
with tailspin coming back last month, I hope randomly in future we might get past April fools events popping up. that was a fun change up. sane with silent thunder in the past.
War Thunder once again has out done itself to provide us a funny April fools event ! And as Iron Armenian said it does give off Command and Conquers design vibes! Absolutely cant wait till I can play this :)
man now I wish this was just an actual game not an april fools event. the rts style on the units makes me curious on if an rts with damage like war thunder would work
Men of War and Call to Arms, one ww2 and other modern day, I would say both are as close as you get to what you described, vehicles having modules that can be broken and must be fixed like turret being jammed or tracks broken. Call to Arms even gives you fps control over individual units. Give those a look, hopefully it will scratch your itch .
