Personally, I dislike these reviews of games that are similar to Aces High on the Aces High forum because they always stink of recruitment ploys for the competition.  I just think that's really low to do on this forum.  Walk into a business and start telling the customers there how much fun or how much better it is over at the competition and see how that works out for ya.

Maybe that is because as I have aged I think I have grown wiser and there is much less "gray" area.  It is more "black & white" for me.  First you would have to have a keen awareness of "right & wrong".
Wag more, bark less.

Then you should be happy since this thread is anything but a "recruitment ploy". It is in fact a bashing of WT thread.

only decent arena in war thunder is Full Realism. arcade and historical are mouse aimer instructor training wheeled infested toddler arenas. there are no icons though but the graphics are so amazing its easy to keep sight of everything.

heres my first attempt at messing with video capture software nonsense. its just the trial version of dxtory with the horrible text in the way but the fight was so fun i thought it was worth posting anyway.

WoW ! Excellent video showing WarThunder at its best (FRB) and great fight <S>

This video must be shown as a reference to anybody who speaks rubbish about WT.

Two seperate executables aren't required.  It's possible for a game to support both DirectX9 and DirectX11, depending on which is detected without having to have two seperate game executables.

ack-ack

Dude.....I'm talking about two completely different graphics engines.

My point is that the information sent to and from the server will be the same.

I would love to know why you think two different graphic engines would be needed for directx9 and directx11?  also you do know what akak does for a living right?

dude you want to tell me my gpu is not up to modern games when you say that a $500 computer with no video card can play ah "smoothly"?

Oh I see, sorry two years ago my two evga 465's  were sub par to the intel onboard graphics.  my bad, will get on upgrading my video card, thanks for the advice.  which one do you recommend? 

boy, titanic, you do love to troll dont ya.  you remind me so much of manawar.

AFAIK AH doesn't have a proper SLI profile so you're not necessarily getting any benefit from your second card. Also SLI is prone to all sorts of problems, especially the older cards so your performance might not be what you expect.

I would never get a SLI or Xfire personally.

I dont have a problem with aces high, even thought it doesnt have a proper sli profile for nvidia cards.  that has been a known thing for years.  but I do get a little better fps with sli cards than with single card.
