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.

So you actually have played WT???

The answer is in that post you quoted in the form of an ingeniously obscure riddle. If you muster your deductive powers I'm confident you can find it.

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

you mean the free to play arace arena is fake?  just curious, if WT is so much better why do you keep hanging around here?  you dont see me hanging around my ex-wife do you?

Eh, I have my moments.   Well, I have a lot of moments.

I couldn't place FRB.


Regardless, to each their own.  I myself enjoy WT's arcade-y bit from time to time when I just want some arcade-y action.  But that does get kinda stale after a little bit.  Once I run that outta my system, I come back to AH for the rich depth of awesomeness that is strategic gameplay.


The thing is, despite a bunch of folks here bashing the hell outta WT, I always see one thing when I log into WT: 10,000+ Online.  Since it is Saturday, currently 40,000+ Online.  Now AH has the one up on both WoT and WT; we have GV's long implemented with our Air.  Can go as far as to say we have a naval aspect with the PT-Boat, but...  If I am seeing the new terrain update correctly (though it is probably me hoping), it looks like HiTech is finally ready to dive more into the Naval side of warfare.

I thought you were being sarcastic.

If you can't understand the difference between arcade and simulation mode, it's pretty much your own problem. I don't play any games currently and yes, some people actually bang their exes.

perhaps you dont understand both arcade and simulation are fake.  just as fake as thinking banging your exwife is better than it was when you were married.

Actually my brain is on the fritz.  Tired as spork but unable to go back to sleep.   Oh well.  I'm not hammering you or anything.

While I did start WT a ways back, I have not bothered playing it a bunch until recently.  Hell, I'm only "level" 8.  The last time I was on before my current go was when you had to gain levels in each country to unlock the higher tier planes.  Not the current research thing they have now.  All the player level does now, it seems, is unlock more profile pics and what-not.  I do sit there and wonder how awesome some of these planes will be in AH though.

WT sux
Spitfire leak energy too fast. Most flight models sux. Maybe is fun with Japan planes and 109F model. I love kill p39 with my KI 43

Of course it's fun in the 109F, the beastly thing being the way it is.

Oh... Er.... Sorry Latrobe!

I've avoided the f4 up 'til now because of the damn headrest... But I've been flying it lately. I went through some very ugly first several missions with it. However, after some good experiences tonight, I'm about to stop trying to get muscle memory around a reliable "check 6" motion with my trackir and just map the damn view to a key, one for each side.

The thing is very likely the best balance in game: good top end, climb, turn rate, ballistics ( though perhaps a gun short of adequate snapshot firepower) , and roll rate ( though not vomit- inducing). It's just a shame about the views. Anyway, I've found that low dogfighting with later model spitties is not beyond the pale for Mr. Franz. I don't know that it would make sense against the mk 8 , but I don't see those nearly as often.
