They were underpowered. (same engine as the much maligned F4F-3A but worse as at least the F4F3A had a supercharger) and had a tendency to ground loop.

Nice guns though, 2 x 20mm Hispano cannon and 4 x .303 which meant they saw extensive service as a close ground support aircraft.

The supercharged version actually compared favorably with the Mk V Spit but by then Mustangs were available and the Mk V was already being superseded so only one supercharged variant was ever made.

Because of the whole NDA thing I'm not gonna say mucha bout the game BUT I got it all downloaded and installed last night. Didn't have time to hook up my stick and pedals. Just doing some test flights with the mouse and keyboard and it looks GREAT and runs very smooth on high/max settings.

Can't wait to get some free time to really delve deeper.

I was so excited when I opened my mail and saw "war thunder" on the topic, I thought I finally got my beta key, it just was a new video.

But now everyone can join starting from 19.99$ for starter package, I would but it's pretty lame the subscription is only for couple of weeks, I prefer waiting for my invite.

Now don't get me wrong, I hate arcade games as much as the next, "hater", and it looks like this will be very arcade, BUT, those graphics are pretty cool.

Fortunately, for movie making, the actual physics is meaningless. I may have to bite the bullet on this one.

I never bought the previous game either but I got the invite yesterday. Maybe they are sending them out a few thousand at a time?

Hmh, that's with the movie setting? It gives me ~30 fps @1920x1200 and is not playable online. See my sig for my system.
