Wow cool.  It will have to have a much better engine to play though.  Putting tanks on a battlefield is one thing but planes is much different.  Especially if you add the aspect for bombers.

God forbid a game involving airplanes ever be anything other than 100% properly physically modeled.  It's OK for arcade people to have fun too, ya know.

You can apply the same premise to prostitutes.

"I couldn't land any good tang on my own, so I found it easier to just pay for a roll in the hay.  Who cares if if there is so little tread on the tires that it is like throwing a hotdog down a hallway, it is almost like having my own?"

It's going to be a game targeted not towards the flight simmer but as someone pointed out, the mass gamer that wants quick instant action without having learn all that nasty stuff like BFM and ACM.  It's going to be an arcade flight sim with a very relaxed physics model (think RR AW or Fighter Ace) wrapped in a very pretty eye candy wrapper to hide the fact it's an arcade flight sim.  I know they are going to advertise it as a "realistic" flight sim but in reality, it's just going to be a MMO version of Wings of Prey and anyone that has played that game knows how *cough* realistic that flight model is.  Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, WoP is from the same developers as Wings of Prey.

On a side note, Mad Catz has also thrown their hat into the MMO flight sim world, with their announcement of the creation of ThunderHawk Studios which will develop "War Wings: Hell Catz".  Back in February, Mad Catz bought out V-Max Simulations that made flight sim software (Luftwaffe Commander, Sabre Ace, and Ultra Fighters) and reformed the studio under the ThunderHawk name.  It's basically a marketing ploy to help sell their Saitek gear as the game will be fully optimized to take advantage of Saitek equipment while offering general and basic support for other game devices.  Don't expect "War Wings: Hell Catz" to be anything spectacular, it's going to be an arcade flight sim as well, think of the Air Combat console games for an idea on how realistic the flight model is going to be.

ack-ack

AH is still not even remotely close of the workload of a WW2 pilot. Most people that demand 'tthe real deal' end up not being able to handle it. The crying on the IL2 forums about basic stuff like mixture setting and 2 stage blower, no icon no gps on some servers still ecoes in my head. :D

yippeeee dippity dooooo!

More crap from a team of developers that can not or will not fix the underlying causes of the stuff they have problems with in WoT.

While I don't disagree, games aren't free to make or maintain either.

I enjoy the free aspect of WoTs.  I doubt I will ever pay for those advantages but at the same time I dont think it is a bad economic model.
I only wish I could button up in the tank.  I dont see a airborne version of WoT as a real threat to AH but it wont be a great help.  Perhaps it will be the motivational driver for AH 3.0
