War Online:Pacific, f2p mmo flight sim

Flight Sims
21

Last week I reinstalled War Thunder and I had a feeling that the flight model has changed since last time I flew around 2 years ago. I don’t know if it’s my joystick settings, but it felt really “laggy”. But is the WT more accurate than IL-2 1946? I’m not so sure, maybe…

I remember old Warbirds online game had pretty accurate physics at the time (late '90), I would say even on par with IL-2 and WT. But personally when I want to fly realistic WW2 game I go with IL-2 BoX series.

I will certainly check out War Online: Pacific though, as I always was intrigued by this theatre of operations, basically since Dynamix Aces of the Pacific and Microprose 1942 PAW. I’m really looking forward to IL-2 Battle of the Pacific (when/if they decide to do make it).

Haha! Yea, but I hope we can have good flight sims again :slight_smile:

I’m looking forward to War Online:Pacific, it looks like it might be a throwback to those times.

Totaly forgot about this lol, but they created some kind of ‘battle royale’ gameplay which does not interest me so I did not try it… I’m waiting for Warbirds 2020 :stuck_out_tongue:

Worse than the P51 for WB 2020? :wink:

But more seriously, it’s great that there are devs who creates new games with planes. It’s maybe not for ‘us’ specificaly ( hardcore simers ), or maybe not according to our expectations but they hopefully find their audience.
And hopefully 0.1% of that audience will make it to more hardcore side.

Other thing is if the game is incomplete or bugy. In that case criticism is in place I would say.

I mean, i can play a game with good gameplay and so-so graphics, but a game with bad gameplay and even good graphics which is not fun to play i realy can’t :P.

And this gamemode i don’t think is very much fun, you spawn in air and look for someone to shoot, Air Warrior in 1980’s offered more than this :stuck_out_tongue:

I completely agree @NEVO. I’m very pleased new games are coming through. But the vid you put up did not do it any favours

It looks like its pulling about 20fps.

I think it’s beacuse they’re pulling it directly from VR device.
