Warthunder gets best simulation award......

[Rich46yo]

I just tried War Thunder again for about the 10'th time. I spent about 10 minutes, again, in it, said "this blows", and left.

What good is eye candy if the flight model is poor?

WT PR girls at Duxford weren't all that!  I guess they don't have to be for these nerdy type gamers...

what do you expect, they were british .  on the other hand, one reason ah doesnt advertise is because they will send a couple of overweight 40+ year olds who demand to sit next to the beer stations.  and they all fly 109's  .

maybe she was a former female bulgarian shot putter?

you need to verify these things...a man without wandering eyes needs to turn in his man card.

The arcade crowd is not going to like Aces High.  Due to our open ended game play many gamers will not care for it either.

I think I read "over there" someone maxxed out their tier and plane crew and asked "now what do I do...what's the point of playing any further?"

 

This is one big thing I dislike about WT. You have to start with "tier 0" crap and grind your way up to better planes. And your "pilot" and "crew" need to build skills through grinding, so your personal skill as a virtual pilot is somewhat nerfed until your "character" gains EXP and levels for certain attributes. It's an interesting role-playing twist, but is kind of arbitrary and silly if you ask me.

But if they don't know the flight model is poor then they think it's realistic/the best game ever.   Personally, even if I could play it, I would find it boring due to the fact of the point and click system.

War Thunder has done a great job marketing their product.  My hat is off to them for that.

That is true, many want to play a game to hop in and be the best. Not have to work for it.  Which makes it rewarding to get a kill knowing that you had to learn the weapon/equipment that you are using to get that kill, not a simple point and click.

They simply appealed to the market. They got the purdy eye-candy and easy-to-learn unrealistic flight model. In my opinion, they bent to the markets will. 

Aces High on the other hand. Firmly kept their model the way they seen fit, and are still around after all this time.  My hat is off to Aces High and and its devoted Staff for creating a game to stand the test of time.

what point and click system?

Mouse-aim with AI Instructor doing the actual flying; all you do is move your little marker where you want to fly. In Arcade, you even get a lead-computing spot to aim at.
