New HD video from the latest Alpha test of World of Planes

For me 32 Players is no MMO !

[droz]

World of Planes and World of Warplanes are two different games, two different developers.

World of Planes is by the same people who did Wings of Prey.

World of Warplanes is by the World of Tanks people.

Confusing, yes. Two different games.

Perhaps not, but how many MMO's have complex flight model physics for each player? I guess WoPlanes will be using the same licensed FM's (updated from IL-2 4.0.5) that currently exist in WoPrey. Would thousands of aircraft, with the computations involved, work in the air at the same time? Even if that were possible, what sort of an instant death mega-furball would that be?

I prefer the idea of a parallel worlds type scenario. Want to fight over a particular area, choose from one of many 32 player split servers that contribute to the entire campaign covering that area. No overcrowding but potentially 100's to 1000's involved.

I'm sure the devs even said that it was possible to have 64 players.

Speaking of snobbery, how long before the 'Greenpuke Troll' arrives?

i still don't understand what this thread do here?

WOP is not an 1C game... it is not a simulation...

stop please... go to dedicated forum to speak about arcade games please

Sorry esmiol, it was thought that people who enjoyed CloD and WW2 flight sims, may actually be interested to hear of other software that they can enjoy?

I mean FRAPS isn't a piece of flight sim software but it gets talked about? Do we really have to be so blinkered?

Cheers, MP

I can't imagine anyone who likes simulations wants to fly using the mouse and keyboard. That's what's supported by this game. Ymmv, of course.

But all CloD pilots fly using Mouse and Keyboard + Joystick, Pedals, TrackIR? Fortunately World of Planes supports all of these too win,win,win,win situation

From the Q&A of gaijin:

Q: ... Will Arcade players fly with the same FMs? Will Arcade players be able to fly without joysticks?

A: ... Of course it's better to have a joystick, because it's much better to fly with it. But it will still be possible to fly with keyboard and mouse only. The mouse is not such a bad controller and quite precise, preferably the three button ones. .... Recently I've been only playing with mouse and keyboard.

Not a sim in my eyes and absolutly not comparable to CoD. But maybe a nice game, who knows?
