VRFocus - Linux users have reason to celebrate today as virtual reality (VR) compatible online combat title War Thunder has arrived on the operating system. As with the PC, Mac and PlayStation 4 versions of the title, it's free to download on the new platform. It should also feature full support for the Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD) as it does on PC and Mac. The title is only supported on 64-bit systems. It arrives as version 1.43, which was integrated recently.

Wccftech: We interviewed Gaijin to discuss their path tracing implementation in War Thunder and learned what features they're looking to add next.
The latest War Thunder update, War Tusk, features a whole host of new Thai ground vehicles (that fall within the Japanese tech tree), including the recently in action Ukrainian-made Oplot-T tank, the American battleship USS Maryland, the British Sky Sabre SAM system, the Russian Buk-M3 SAM system, and the Canadian CF-188A fighter jet.
I've been playing this a lot since I got my PS4. Very cool, though they need to rethink how they ease new players into the game. The menu alone is fairly intimidating, then jumping into an online battle and being shredded makes it even more so.
