War Thunder

Sure, that does happen from time to time, while other times its almost instantly.

One could say the same for aces high, unless your taking off from a base already under assault, you still must fly 10-15 minutes to get into the action.
Its a tit-for-tat kind of thing, guess it just depends on how much time and money someone has. ( i have substance abuse problems   ) For me if  i have 15-20 minutes before work ill jump into a plane and go into instant action knowing my limited time WILL be spent doing some pewpew.

One thing i highly dislike is the rpg, plane lvl's and upgrades/enhancements and such.

But imagine if Ah had that type of system where bombs, bullet types and maybe even better octane for "perks" could be implemented.



Apples & oranges.


Im waiting for bigger and better games honestly, everything right now is still So stale. I want to play a war or combat simulator, not a one off of everything, or a one of everything arcade game. Something "like" ww2OL, but without everything that made it SUCK. "good luck with that one future game company's" Untill then im going to have to gravitate to games and company's who have that same outlook on future products, where "the sky is the limit, after that is space..and after that is another sky, on another planet..far far away"

Bigtime.  I really understand what's to like about WT.  It is a style of gameplay that's very popular for the reasons you listed.  Plus it's free.  I am willing to accept the warts on AH because the gameplay is what I like, but not everybody is looking for this style of play.

Got my golden ticket...    It's the only game I can see pulling me out of here and turning me into a pretty much FSO only player if it's half of what they say it's gonna be.

With the recent introduction of WT on Steam, if you fork over $105 bucks, you get all the 'packs' which includes a few premium planes, some Golden Eagles and with the Steam pack, 2 single player campaigns.

I've been playing it a lot recently and while the eye candy is fantastic and really does help with immersion, the flight model just isn't that good, still has that 'flying on rails' feel WoP and IL2 had.  There are rumors the FM team quit to protest how Gaijin is more focused on the arcade side of the game while ignoring the full realism aspects of the game.  It also appears as though the flight model is adjusted for game balance reasons rather than something wrong with the flight model.  I remember when WB started doing this after WildBill took over, one of the reasons why WB started its downward slide.

Ack-Ack, that is an interesting rumor. I wonder if this holds true for when they updated the flight model for the P38. I did not get a chance to fly the P38 in game yet because I am not leveled high enough. I am also wondering if this also explains why it has a level 10 requirement to fly as well. Personally I think they should lower the level requirement on the P38 to make it more in line with the historical period while not overpowering the other planes.

Look up Birds of Steel practically is an Xbox 360 version of War Thunder i tried birds of steel on full realism mode and its unflyable you have to keep you fingers on the buttons or your plane just rolls over on its back and crashes i dont like Birds of Steel much but play it when i am bored graphics are outstanding but that's about it

ok how do you earn "golden Eagles"

I went and spent all that I had 


one thing I found quite funny about WT is the modern day mentality of "everyone is a winner"

I absolutely suked flying there at first flying it with just hat views and refusing to fly in F3.....I failed miserably at a mission(well many of them....ok....ALL of them...haha)

but yet I still get rewarded experience points and some lion currency 

personally I think if you fail...you should get nothing....

makes me think what the hell why do I need to try to get better...I get perks for failing.....

[ImADot]

ok how do you earn "golden Eagles"

I'm pretty sure you have to buy them with real money...and is how the company makes their money.

hmmm what about the planes that can only be bought with the eagles?

if it is truly a free to play game(which I was lead to believe it was) everything ingame should be able to be had by grinding through it.

[LCADolby]

Premium aircraft... like some tanks on WoT and some ships in Navy Field. They all do it.

ahhh so any "premium" aircraft must be bought with eagles...and they can only be had with real money except the few they give you when you start?


I knew there was a scam in there somewhere.

WT coming to PS4.   Wonder if that's a good thing?

played some Beta WOT on xbox 360, just doesn't feel right using a control.

You'll need to fork over real money to buy 'Golden Eagles' or from purchasing packs (again with real money) that will sometimes include Golden Eagles as an item.

Like WoT it's freemium not f2p. It's not a scam, it's a business model. A few years ago Aces High had free 8-player, but you have to pay to get into the big arenas... Freemium.

im old school...when someone says hey this is free.....(which they absolutely do big ol letters..."Free to play")  I expect it to be free....not after I get it..oh by the way you cant have this part of it until we get cash money......

some may call it a "business model" I call it a scam.

Aces High is free to download and play offline...the 8 player arenas were free to use.....to play online it costs...no hidden fees....no misdirection....


that would be like me saying...hey I am gonna give away a tattoo for free...start the tattoo and say after I am half way through the tat...BTW color is 50$    oh sorry you didn't read the fine print it clearly states here in fine text only the outline is free.....

   I am not feeling it anymore after this revelation.
