So here's the thing about War Thunder's screenshot contests - they're getting pretty wild. Contest number 206 just dropped on Steam, and this time they want us to go completely overboard with the firepower.
You know that feeling when you finally nail a perfect shot with something ridiculously overpowered? That's what they're after. The theme is literally "Overkill" - think less precision strikes, more delete-everything-in-sight energy. I'm talking about those moments where you bring a tank destroyer to a light tank fight, or when you carpet bomb a single jeep because why not.
What gets me excited about this one is they're specifically calling out heavy hitters. Sure, landing those shots with the big guns can be trickier than spraying with an MG, but man, when you connect? Chef's kiss. Nothing beats watching a target just evaporate after you've lined up that perfect shot.
The contest is live now through the Steam community hub. Past winners have shown some genuinely insane stuff - massive explosions, multiple kills in one frame, that sort of thing. If you've been sitting on some screenshots of absolutely demolishing someone with way more firepower than necessary, now's your chance to show them off.
Pro tip: dramatic angles and timing are everything. Catch that shell mid-flight or grab the exact moment of impact. The War Thunder community loves their explosion porn, and honestly, who can blame them?
