Welcome Back. Don't let the one thing you'll notice about AH, throw you off. While AH isn't any where near the level of War Thunder in looks, it sure makes up for it with the VAST options available to you.
The best things about Aces High is that I don't have to worry about some kind of time limit, and the size of the maps are larger. Plus there isn't a waiting queue to get airborne. You also won't have to worry about team killing. They shoot you, they die.

You will notice that compared to War Thunder, we are missing a few planes, but overall have a decent plane set. You have options.

Another thing to note is that HTC is currently working on Aces High 3, which is a MASSIVE revamp of the terrain and hopefully, damage system.

As others have mentioned, pop on in for a few months and give it a whirl. With so many options to do things, I think you'll find Aces High a nice change from War Thunder.
