So, ive played this game since release, and there is a few things i wanna say.
First of all, the aircraft are great. They arent 100% realistic, but they are realistic enoigh. The cockpits are full-function, the damage model is decent, great variety of vehicles and maps (with unique objectives), and 3 modes: arcade (easy), historic (intermediate) and realistic (advanced). I like these modes a lot. It gives good accessibility to new players but an actual sim for people with some experience under their belt.
But then there are the tanks, and idk what they thought. They feel like a bunch of pay to win, food chain gameplay, weaponised go-karts. The hit-bar gameplay combined with all the vehicles performing the same apart from the damage output and hp, makes the heavy tanks superior to light ones in every way. And then there is the netcode. I have a stable 110 ms and no lag in game, yet I cant play 2 matches without hetting thrown out which wasnt so bad at first, but now its starting to get to me, just disappearing in the middle of a dogfight sucks and I want it finally fixed.
The game is good, but not worth 5, nor 4 stars anymore. These issues have been arround for too long and the vehicles are starting to get way overpriced for today’s standards. If you look at games like areoflight Fs its so much prettier, more realistic and the cockpits are fully interactable! Yet this game asks €5,50 for an ammount of ingame currence which you can on;y buy 1 or 2 planes with, with way worse graphics and physics.gameplay
