I Few War Thunder World Of Planes..and

[Richie]

Well it's sure an experience flying something other than an IL-2 series sim. I was flying mainly in the realistic mode online missions. The graphics are beautiful I'll give it that and the sound it nice too, that surprised me. Flight models aren't terrible compared to something like CFS 3 but compared to IL-2s flight models they're terrible. There really isn't any feel of weight to your aeoroplane like there is with IL-2. My trackir didn't work and I couldn't get my pov to work right so that was bugging me to no end but that's probably my fault somewhere. FPS is fantastic... 90. This awarded more planes as you fly and buying other planes like the F4 F4 Trop and other important aeroplanes etc really turned me off. All I get to fly now are German pre WWII bi planes..yuk With Japanese and Allied I'm sure it's the same. I can see where if I got into an F4 against a Spitfire Mk.V this would be much more fun. On the other hand if I could do the same thing in IL-2 let's think of a name...IL-2 North Africa and The Tough Old Gut I would be in absolute heaven. So if you ask me it's no contest between the two but the other will most likely be huge with the general public. For those who like to get into dogfights right away try the demo and I think when the game comes out there will be realist battles like IL-2. Who knows the flight models might change too. I'll be fare and say if this game in full real has good missions and you can also build good missions it could be fun. I love the flight models in IL-2 too much though. For an all out fan of this game that's a fair review.

Did the NDA get lifted?

Yes that's what I hear. Here's a long review. He has it on easy settings. They do some odd things with the skins like put birds on the 109s wings for eg...Weird.

Just to add a little more on Cliffs Of Dover, when more theaters come along the enjoyment for me will be ten fold over what it is now because of the fact that the Battle Of Britain is one of my least favorite arenas, one because of the repetitive constrictive area of the fight and two I don't like the 109 E very much. The Russian front is vast and long. Winter and summer. I hope and hope that North Africa and the Mediterranean will be next after Russia. It may take a few years but I'll be here....I hope lol
