Should be an improved version of WoP's engine (which was already great and well optimized), so that's not a surprise  . I wanted to try it but their servers are hammered, I'll wait some days.

if you are watching bw usage be aware that the launcher is also a torrent client that will seed their files with your connection.
game looks cool, has quit a few bugs yet.
Biggest issue for me is that its just way way too hard for beginners. Just seems to me that all the closed beta guys are just licking their chops and beating down noobs unmercifully, and at this point there is little segregation, because as long as you keep using the lower level planes, you get put in with beginners. Maybe its that im just bad at this game, but I got owned and said ok, well this has a learning curve, so there will be a pay off for sticking to it. 10 hours later and not one kill and getting owned just as bad. To the point where it is taking too long for the frustration to end and the fun to begin. Most peoplle are not going to stick around that long with absoulutly no pay off at all.
They need to group people together by how many kills they have, say 0-5 then 6-10 something like that. Otherwise they are going to have a niche market of flight sim junkies only.

If you have trouble getting kills starting out, just fly the Russian biplanes. They troll everything with fucktons of firepower in arcade mode. I get tons of kills when I play them, but I don't really want to play the Russians.
This is a pretty cool game so far. Once they get matchmaking actually working it will be something I play a few times a week at least. Oh, and balance. Some planes have hilariously bad flight models.
Really want to know if they'll be able to fulfill the dream of army, navy, and air power all in one map -- with players driving the tanks and piloting the ships and planes. Especially if they can bump up the player count for each match.
And I'll be honest, the arcade mode is a lot of fun with just a mouse. Best mouse controls for a flight game I've ever experienced.
And Historical Battle mode is sweet.

yeah i was reading their forums, and people were swearing that the russian planes werent biased, so I figured they were and tried those, and did much better. Still sucked though but at least i hit a few things. Matchmaking is the biggest problem. Going up against people with thousands of kills and advanced planes is complete bullshit. Andf the community are a bunch of assholes as well. That alone is making me rethink playing this at all.

I don't speak Russian, so I have no idea what anyone is saying 80% of the time (I use the "Any Server" option instead of Euro). Queue times are damn fast that way.
When I end up with Europeans/Americans, I don't see a whole lot of assholes in chat. I'm glad, too, because I get tired of hearing people rage at each other all the time. I think I've just been lucky.
But I do see a lot of people ramming everyone on purpose in Arcade mode (if you want to see tons of ramming action, fly a Catalina from the American tree ... it's like a magnet).
The Russian T0 biplanes are wildly over tuned for Arcade mode against their peers (twice the guns, no downsides). You can kill more advanced planes with them pretty easily since they turn on a dime and still manage to climb well.
So far I'm liking British planes the best for turn-fights. Haven't tried Japan or Germany yet.
If this game gets player controlled ships and tanks too ... my god.

Simply brilliant game. World of Warplanes got nothing on this one. In WoWP you can barely control your plane and their tech tree sucks. WT got it right with everything. Cant wait for them to add army and navy aswell.

Yeah, there a few single player missions available, as well as a few coop ones that can be played with bot wingmen instead of other players.

I still haven't found the time to try this, but it looks and sounds amazingly good. I just wanted to ask, before I jump in, is the F2P model adopted here "reasonable" ?

It is pretty fair right now but the game isnt feature complete nor completely balanced yet later on you have to grind for cash (silver lions) just like in world of tanks if your not having a premium account or plane with good reward bonus.
with the next "big" patch there will be some kind of change to the economy so i dont know if it stays this way. however they arent as greedy as wargaming with the pricing for premium planes, the most expansive ones right now cost around 10$

I'm at tier 9 on Russia and i still make good money. Yeah you can get some better planes later on but at the end the balance stays a bit the same. You can win from every plane with your lowest tier, it just depends on skill most of the time.
for example if you look at the bombers. You can carry the same weapons as the higher tier bombers almost right from the start.
They recently added night and rainfall and such and i must say its incredible to have some dog fights with shit loads of plains while searchlights search the entire sky. Pure madness from time to time

The russian planes are considered overpowered by a lot of people, i personally only dislike their weapons tearing through wings like theyre made of paper. they also have incredible turn rates and acceleration.
still with the higher tiers costing around 40k lions to repair it can get a bit ugly if your unlucky.

Well, what did you expect? Like World of Tanks it's russian developers and in World of Tanks everyone except the developers can see most russian tanks are OP. Same as in War Thunder and your never going to get it any different because russian devs seem to think it's the rule that russian hardware is OP compared to other nations.
And like in World of tanks when a new tank is intruduced the tank will get nerfed as soon as they find out a tank is OP compared to it's russian counter part. Never happends to the russian tanks though. Still fun game though.
And this game is the same. Fun but you got to learn to live with that developers are russian so most likely planes from russia will be made OP and if you want to play the other nations you gotta learn how to out smart the people playing russian planes because you will most likely be flying a inferiour plane no matter if the real world counter part were better or worse.

and their engine runs silkysmooth tbh i'm on high settings atm sneezing away at 120fps i bet it goes down lower but compared to world of warplanes engine this is a pure enjoyment (instead of my gtx480 running superhot despite the gfx looking like they where from '09)

Dude learn your facts. In World of Tanks the Russian line got nerfed down a lot!!
Also in this game, it definitly isnt the best line. You just think its OP while really it isnt. I prefer the Japanese line over the Russian for sure.

I did learn my facts, and somehow I don't find you anymore an athority in that matter. Ive been playing the game since it was in Alpha so I know the russian tank didn't get nerfed anywhere NEAR to what the other nations tanks got.......

Yeah well... i played 15K games in Beta and had all Russian tanks unlocked so i guess i also know what i'm talking about. Sure, they we're OP at one point but most got nerfed in Beta and the rest during launch. Now they are nothing of what they used to be.

Finally tried this game, it's pretty fun (although I've only played the Arcade battles which are..a bit too fast paced and pew pew for my tastes). Tomorrow I'll give a shot to the Historical battles, which are the real deal.
The engine is really solid though, very nice looking and smooth as butter (just like Wings of Prey) and mouse controls are actually very responsive. Not bad, not bad..

It needs a mode inbetween Arcade and Historical Battles. Historical Battles without nation restrictions and with respawns, basically.

i would say 70% of modes and content isnt in game.. back in cb they had way more sp content which you had to buy. i think it got either removed for now or integreted into co-op missions,but those were there before, so maybe removed for now, dynamic campaign isnt done too, there will be player controlled ships too ? game beats world of planes like day and night in every aspect, its even cheaper to get premium account
