So nice to see the BB Oracles of all knowledge and Alwaysrightism have set the record straight on WOP even though they havent played it themselves with any regularity.... at all.
Being the Blacksheep glass half full guy I can say that WOP is beginning to develop a group of daily flyers. Contrary to Mr. I hate furballs, War Online Pacific is the perfect MVP for breaking into the Esports ecosystem. Its also the perfect sweetspot sim/arcade that is very welcoming for new players and heck of alot of fun for a 20yr vet like myself. The constant map in cockpit is very cool, easy to read and sized right. The no-blackout, no plane break apart in dive, no flat-spin features means that incredible aerobatic kills are possible, Diving to 400mph in a ki43 is pretty awesome.
The Game speed is faster that a true sim but not overly so. Controls are noob friendly.. Its a great game, I love it and am even working on using it as the showcase platform for my AcesLeagues VR Esports teams next year.. It is in Beta, there is no scoring, there are very few planes currently available and there is Zero marketing so it has slipped into the cracks on steam and oculus store.
It will shine in 2020, especially in VR. Of course the authors to the comments above mine wont play it.. Nope, they will instead complain about the no blackouts, and other sim like attributes and say "Thats weak AF, im not playing it like that with sim features disabled".. and at the same time they will use the 360 look behind all day long..
sorry for offending you by speaking honestly.
