I play this game on my MacBook when I’m out and about and don’t have access to my gaming PC. It’s one of the only games that actually ships a native Mac version, so I’m happy.
But, the Mac version of this game still runs on x86-64. Modern Apple CPUs run on ARM, and have been for 6 years now. This means the game runs by being “translated” to ARM by the Rosetta 2 translation layer, which is going to be deprecated eventually. Which means War Thunder risks being unplayable for the Mac user base.
Is there any news on if Gaijin will be shipping an Apple Silicon native version of the game? In the immediate term it would mean muchhh better FPS for Mac users, and in the long term it means we get to keep playing.
