I think it's fun, but the only thing they have going right now is Arcade mode, that'll probably change.

So far the only it has over AH is the eye candy, the FM still has a lot of work to go.

Yeah the view mode sucks majorly, and the..stalling is odd..lots of eye candy tho..and seeing the pilot in the cockpit is a cool thing...not like your gonna be staring at your feet all flight,but still cool.

Ill give it a 6 of out 10 stars.

Thats what i mean, its like trying to stall a 163, the plane doesnt really loose that much control, it just mushes on and you loose alt/unable to nose up.

I also HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY (cannot stress this enough) dislike the WEP system, 4-6 seconds of wep after that it heats up and you loose almost 20% engine power for a few seconds untill things return to normal. BLAGH.  :mad: Its like a bad crimson skys system throwback.



All in all its..decent, but it has yet to give me the rush aces high does. The instant action also kinda blows, starting out mid air and close to the enemy just sucks (for any air plane game), and it looks as if the "simulated/war" with landing and taking off will be with premium accounts only, hence.. $$$ for something that doesn't feel 100% LIKE a simulator.

But i have only been playing it sense release and things change....sometimes.


p.s. I understand the arcade mode is limited (and the player count), but so far fighting a spitfire from 1944 with x4 20mm in a pre 1930's mono plane with x2 7.62 is a balance issues one should roll eyes at or piss from laughter.

The same thing plagued Wings of Prey, not surprised since WT uses the same flight model with the flying on rails feeling with no difference in feel between the various planes..  It's also very similar in concept to World of Warplanes, the only real difference is the better graphics and internal cockpit.  It took me a minute to realize that I had logged into WT and not WoWP.

I'm guessing it's based on Il-2?

No, well, it kind of is and it isn't.  The only "IL2" thing about it is War Thunder is built upon engine (graphical and flight model) that was used for Wings of Prey (and Birds of Prey on console) and all planes have the flying on rails feeling with no real "feel" for the different flying characteristics of each plane.

War Thunder is basically the same game as World of Warbirds but with better graphics and some other minor cosmetic differences but the over all game play and features are pretty much the same.  If it wasn't for the difference in graphics, one would probably be hard pressed to tell which game was Word of Warplanes and which one was War Thunder.

just been online.

Seems a bit messy to me.

I don't think AH have anything to be concerned about at present.

It was a very big download, which I can't see what for.

I will give it another go later.

Rise of Flight and AH are the benchmark at present.

I had invite but how do you get into missions there is a long wait and then your booted.

Ask the developers to get rid of the haze Duran it was rubbish in wings of prey as well.

If they are Russian they don't take it well constructive criticism.

Impressive in what way they have lots of money :rofl

The control set up is seems very good.
