I love posts like the above, gives you much credibility by performing a hit and run tactic.

It's okay Nuggetx.

When people get to try it out and find out that the battles aren't over large areas and are actually quite concentrated by game design, that there aren't boats and tanks to drive currently, that there aren't many people (32 people max) on each map, and that they are limited to a single anemic aircraft until they level up so many people will be ooing and awwing over it.

Oh, and the external view that has a gunsight is very sim like too.

The only thing that War Thunder and Il-1946 have in common are parts of the FM.

Did you fly on Hyperlobby DF servers? 99% of servers had 2 airfields and people would dogfight somewhere in the middle. It's the same here, and the maps were the same size also if not some were smaller.

Because this is a flight sim first, boats and tanks will come later.

That's only instant mode, World war will be bigger.

In HL il2 online wars you didn't had a choice of plane at all. You had 1 plane for current year and side and you had to fly it for weeks and everyone liked it.

You can turn it off.

They've always said 32 players max, regardless of which mode is played.

Yes, I did play DF servers and the ones I played on had multiple airfields with action at them.

In Il2 wars, I would get another plane as the war progressed. Not so much for WarThunder, you need XPs.

Also, I could go into a DF server and choose from several planes which one I wanted to use. Definitely not so with War Thunder.

Nope, i'd give you a quote but that would be NDA breach because it's on closed beta forum.

It's the same but in different form.

Same here once you have the planes.

It's like this so bigger crowd will play it.

But... you have to level up to get the planes.

It's okay, you like Battlefield of Duty with planes.

I don't.

Aces High had the same thing for best planes. YOu had to have a streak of 15 or 20 kills to fly me 163 or 262 and some other.

Here atleast you won't loose them when you die like there.

You keep talking about those perk planes.

Except there are several other planes you can choose to use in Aces High. Not just the top of the chain.

Reverse is true about WarThunder, you get one plane at the bottom of the chain and have to work your way up.

I also don't see mention of more than 32 players on the CBT forum.

Seems proper to me. ME 262 in real war were not handed out to rookies. The pros were flying on them.
