Posted on by demostene

War Thunder Steel Generals 1.45 ONLINE. Sadly, the USA Tanks aren’t online at all , but only tier I tanks are playable. Other vehicles are still in test, don’t ask me why! Anyway, enjoy the game, this patch is more or less 2gb.

War Thunder Steel Generals è a sorpresa online! Mi duole apprendere che i carri americani sono disponibili solo fino al tier I, il resto è ancora in fase di test e verranno introdotti poco alla volta. Mi è ancora oscuro il motivo. La patch è circa o poco più di 2gb (pensavo di più). Buon download!
