Was as of last December...not sure if they were still using the actual antenna array but people still definitely work out there doing...stuff. e: That thing is just as big in person as you'd imagine it to be from looking at the pictures.

War thunder is amazing and its one of the few F2P games I don't feel like I am missing out on anything if I don't pay real money. Seriously play it.

War thunder is going to be a combined arms game without infantry. They are releasing vehicles soon for the US and Russia. The flight part is pretty nice, and the flight sim part is legit. Going to shoot people with land battleships though.

The pic that was right above it was an F-5 shooting it's nose guns and the smoke rolling over the cockpit just like that, I figured they were related. The A-10 has a different canopy shape, gun is underneath the nose instead of on top blah blah
