That's because it was never designed to be played with flight sim controllers. It was designed to be played on the pirated smartphones of high schoolers in China.


LMAO I can see this, and Id have to agree.  :cheers:

It wouldn't be that bad of a game if it wasn't War Thunder...  :)

I enjoy FRB as well.  When I'm not stuck in the queue for 20 minutes.  Or when we're stuck with Russian vs Germany like we have for the last 10 odd days (I dislike both Russian and German planes)

Arcade and 'Realistic' Battles are just right out.  Playing with a stick/cockpit is just pure frustration against mouseaim/thirdperson when you've got more than one person to deal with.

I didn't play WT long enough to get into a FRB (only played for about 20 minutes and it takes about 30-40mins to get into a FRB), but I've heard that people in there run to ack harder than people in AH2!  :rolleyes:

 :headscratch:  I've never witnessed an undamaged aircraft in WT run to ack, unlike AH :/

Really? That's all I saw, everybody fighting at treetop level (so you can't see them) over ack.

Hmm... I haven't seen such long waiting time in queue. Did you choose all available servers in options? Or may be the plane you trying to enter in arena is too odd??
It was 10-12 minutes for me when I was trying to enter FRB (which is now called Simulator Battle SB) in He-51 ;) I did it on purpose to hide myself among the low level drones and to give some i-153 pilots a hard time in furballs :) But if you choose the planes smarter and put random country choice in options - you will be in battle in a couple of minutes. For example choose  Bf-109F1 on German side , Yak-1b on Russian side and with random country choice it is a guaranteed quick start.

I dislike both Russian and German planes

If you dislike them so much you may consider buying P-39K (single payment $6) or P-40E even cheaper to play on the Russian side.
Or if you are rich  P-63A-5  for $10  ;)

WT is a pc version of an iphone game I used to have. You fight in external view, you gain levels, you earn points with which you buy upgrades, special ammo, and other, better planes. It's free to play but you can buy upgrades with real money. WT is by no means a sim. The type of consumer that would be interested in WT would not be interested in AH, and vice versa.

Please come back after you try WT for real and not just flounder about in the free to play arcade arena lol.

Why? It wouldn't change the facts. And by the way I got most of my kills in FRB I never played arcade again after my first day. Please come back after you try metalstorm, the smartphone version that inspired WT. FRB is just an addon that was requested by a very small percentage of players, well less than a percent actually. FRB is an afterthought, and it shows.

Metalstorm-You fight in external view, you gain levels, you earn points with which you buy upgrades, special ammo, and other, better planes. It's free to play but you can buy upgrades with real money.

WT-You fight in external view, you gain levels, you earn points with which you buy upgrades, special ammo, and other, better planes. It's free to play but you can buy upgrades with real money. Oh and now there is FRB where you have to wait several minutes to play provided you don't get booted from timeout, to play a quick fight in a small H2H arena where ext view is disabled and joysticks won't work worth a damn because it's a game that was never designed to be played with flight sim controllers and everybody hides at treetop level because there are no icons and won't leave their ack. And if that wasn't bad enough the game is still very much WT.
