Air game looks poo, War Thunder Ground Forces looks good, especially "Simulator Battles."
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Watch one video of some supposed ace , they were flying in F3 mode,  is that the only way it can be viewed , seemed lame, arcadish reminded me of the days standing in the arcade playing some console crazy space game going in circles.

Yep, just in time -- they released new update 1.39 with Twin Mustang, Spitfire XXII, XXIV, new jets, “Schräge Musik” , editor for custom content (maps, missions, skins, aircrafts (!!!) ) plus it looks like they made significant progress in ground war modeling ...

They're playing in relaxed realism. Full realism doesn't even allow icons and it's way more challenging than AH. My SA was totally gone, couldn't see the enemy and the horrible view system didn't help. War Thunder requires a VR or TrackIR to be playable basically.

Lack of icons is not more realistic but less.

The reason is that, in real life, it is not hard to pick out the aircraft against the background when you are in a fight.  On screen, though, it can be hard without icons even when the planes are within 1000 yards of you, depending on background and color of the plane.  Hence icons make it so that it is as easy as in real life.

The only question is at what distance should there be an icon to make it realistic, not whether or not there should be an icon.

That may also change when wearing virtual goggles. Depth perception brings a lot to the table.

I like War Thunder though.

Its tiding me over until Hitech releases the new engine.

If you play realistic, and take the "level up" based gameplay. It is tonnes of fun. Plus the challenges to get new decals and upgrades is cool

Arcade mode is gay as aids though. And as such I have made this:
