We've rounded up some of the best highlights from the past few days in the gaming world and put them all in one place for you. Today, a death-defying dogfighting maneuver in War Thunder, a great throw in Madden, and more!
Today's gaming highlights: Casually landing a plane on a boat in a warzone, jumping over buildings like Superman, an incredible sniper shot, and more!
Love is in the ai—... water. It's in the water. Let that Christmas Spirit stay a while longer, even if it needs a little help from War Thunder. And don't forget to pull this, or similar stunts in any game in February.

War Thunder's one of those games flying around in its own orbit. Lots of players—5 million PC players currently in an open beta—not a lot of hype. The guys making it say that it's the most popular aviation game ever, which might be why it was at today's big PS4 event. But it's also a game that's exploiting the…
