Merry Xmas Krupi.

Some pits are bad indeed...But some are quite good.(p-39, 109 and few others). What I have to say though, is that CLOD's pits do look good, but when you talk about "immersion" ? In CLOD, Prop f/x are bad, tracers are bad, clouds are bad, plane in a distance are bad, the always blue sky is bad... And an invisible pilot ?!! Im WT, although the pits are less detailed, the glass reflexions are great, sun glare is realistic, "scratches" in plexi are awsome, tracers are good, clouds are good and weather is very good...And terrain ? And trees ? And buildings? WT all the way...
I agree that in terms of a "sim" (FM, DM and technical specs) CLOD may meet the standards, but immersion, I give WT the blue ribbon.
The ideal sim would be a merge of those two !

Salute !

I tried a few aircraft and found them all terrible.

COD is superiour in terms of basically everything to that game as COD is a SIM not a game. Somethings are nice in WT props are better but nothing else... Reflections are waayy way over the top, ROFs are much better same with the clouds. Tracers were vastly improved in COD and are better than WT. The terrain while nice is not great tbh it just does not look correct in the maps i flew in and the lack of shadows didnt help.

In a flight sim I spend the majority of my time looking for EA's or looking at my cockpit and even with all the bugs in COD taken into account I would say WT still cannot hold a candle to it but then again its not meant too it a game not a sim.

Dowloaded it and tested it, and all i can say this game is all utter garbage!

Sure i know it is in the line of World of Tanks, so i knew that the game was a MMO but i thought it to be somewhat balanced, but wth?!... dog fighting a MIG 17 in a HE 51 is not fun!

This was not a game for me

I think I'm so use to IL-2 that anything else that is different seems garbage or totally confusing to my pea sized brain. That's probably the main problem. The only other sim that comes close to IL-2 in my opinion is Rise Of Flight witch is good for all of us. The only thing is I'm not a WWI guy.

Agree with your review...except I really do think RoF is pretty cool!

Well it's a demo.......but my problem is trying to get the controls set up....I get the joystick done for flying but assigned buttons for guns, bombs, views are not working.....the set up for the controls is very complicated compared to other sims and needs to be simplified before I spend more time just trying to get everything to work....otherwise it may be a fun sim....or game...not sure sim is correct term for this.

buz13, I have 3 different sticks connected to PC. All buttons work in WT. For axis try these settings by Mr.X http://forum.gaijinent.com/index.php...sion/?p=163095

WT controls are definitely much easier to set up than CloD one as it is a more simple game.

Mr.X and Wolf_13 from RoF use Doras (the plane I miss in CloD):

I tried WT but uninstalled it soon after that

[Ataros]

It is not a sim exactly yet, but became much better after 1.25 major patch in December and then many Il-2 squads came to it (like FB, SLI, RR, 72AG, 2GvShad and others who played IL-2 VEF AFW, ADW, etc). Full Real battles on RU server are very competitive now.

At least one guy from Luthier's CloD team is working there on FMs now. 1.27 major patch is out today.

Will WT have SP, missons, campaign, etc???
