Tanks • Teamwork • Simulation • Fun • Large-Scale
Since 2010, Rolling Thunder is an ArmA series (firstly Arma 2, now Arma 3) PVP (player vs player) event in which large scale tank battles are simulated. The RT battles are standalone events and take place occasionally. For each battle there are new registrations. The Rolling Thunder participants vary from armor gameplay newcomers to professional tank combat simulation gamers all with the aim to have tactical, teamwork orientated and enjoyable battles in a well organized large scale environment.

Respawn features
The respawn feature is configured so that it allows a continuous flow of gameplay, but also gives room for units to make critical moves / strikes in times their opponent is recovering. That way you gain terrain and if all well and continued, you will be able to seize and hold your objective sectors. Respawn delays are not very long.
