World of Warplanes website launched
« on: August 08, 2011, 06:46:15 PM »
Let the EPICosity begin.... or at least the graphics anyways...

http://www.worldofwarplanes.com/

I am scared for the flight modeling system they are going to use... it is either going to be a big hit or a big miss for us realism guys... but hey... you got to admit, aces high will     never ever     come close to WOWP graphics... nuf said there.

:airplane: I can't wait to try it!

No we don't have to admit it. They had said the same things, when comparing Il-2 to AH, and now AH in my opinion surpasses it graphically as well as the flight modeling. It's only a small matter of time.

These are the same guys that did World of Tanks and one of their main points is to eschew sim realism for game play.  That is why the tanks might look authentic in WoT but the game is hardly realistic in any sim sense of the word.  The same for World of Warplanes, it's not going to be a sim pushing for realism, it's going to be an arcade like flight model putting game play ahead of simulation.

World of Planes is going to be the same, though with a much more pretty eye candy wrapper.

Looks like it's just going to be a game, I don't expect it to be anything special.

It will be advertised like WoT. It will get people into flying combat games, some will inevitably come to Aces High looking for something more.

Looks to me like there's a bit of post-production work on those screenshots.

don't like those graphics, prefer what we have in AH. If you want to see really nice graphics have a look at cliffs of dover.




AH still has the best flight model of the lot though. Even FSX has a less detailed flight model imo.

If you can get it running on top graphics settings, as my friend has finally managed to do, it looks BEAUTIFUL.
