I don't play war thunder anymore but back when i did I captured this low quality video of the most epic no icon full realism fight i ever had in a sim. an endless parade of planes apeared on my six then died to my guns

this is probably the most epic dogfight video you will ever see in spite of the logo and low res....

That is the appeal of each.


Still find it funny that some folks keep calling War Thunder, "War Blunder".  So um, for a game that is such a "blunder", they sure seem have a few more players than we do.

Get over it.  Each game has it's merit, their level of fun.  It is hard for me to talk about and praise Aces High when I'm over there, seeing stuff like that here.  And with a quick "public" search (did not log into the War Thunder forum and you don't need to be logged in to see everything here), I see a lot more bad mouthing of War Thunder here, than I see bad mouthing of Aces High there.  It is embarrassing and it sure as hell doesn't help Aces High in any way.  As is, it is kind of difficult to talk about Aces High even on World of Warships.

I heard they are short on impatient squeakers.   

I played it once about 3 years ago and some angry russian player accused me of hacking when my non upgraded hurricane wooped his arse.   I much prefer angry rednecks calling me a hack.  They have a way with words that is much more dreamy.

Yes, the player populations are quite different. In AH the median age of the players is somewhere near 40, even though they behave like they are 13. In WarThunder they really are 13. Men don't grow up - they just grow old.

..and old men play AH.

The thing that irritated me most about WT is how the plane gets better as you gain experience.  Stall speeds decrease, climb rates improve, just complete crap.  Once I figured that out it was over.

Your pilot gets better, not your plane.

Graphics are good.

Dare to dream: AH3 matches graphics, fixes maps, adjusts a few rules then engages in a targeted marketing campaign, boosts numbers and we reach nirvana.

That would be a sight to behold.   There are a few minor details in War Thunder that definitely make it stand out.  Raking an enemy plane, even with 303's, sometimes you'll see vapor coming from the plane as a result, like you see sometimes in the guncam footage.  Falling in behind an enemy that has an oil leak, or coolant leak, you'll see this on your windscreen.  Flying through the clouds gets you water on the windscreen.  If we had that all in Aces High, oh man, the immersion.

I know that we'll probably have those little hills dotted around the landscape like we currently do.  It is also a hope of mine that when the new update hits, those won't always be so sharp.  Here and there, I can understand.  But I hope for more of a "rolling hills" effect for them as weol.  Smooth and gradual kind of thing.
