What I think is bad about WoWp is gameplay and tactics. The attacks on ground targets give you some advantage but when you shot down an airplane it resets. Why? Its really easy to hit an enemy when you have a circle telling you where to aim and it makes also yourself an easy target. It all ends in a simple dogfight where the map is irrelevant.

More luck than skill in WT:
It’s true. In arcade mode. Which I hate.
It’s good as a beginning, but after tier 5-6 Historical become more rewarding.
If you have skill. Which you can’t get playing arcade.
You have to learn it in HB difficulty, playing low level planes over and over and over.

The learning curve is very similar to the real life soviet pilot ‘training’:
In ’41 we learnt how to survive in the air. In ’42 we learnt how to fly effectively. In ’43 we learnt how to kill.

However WT has the same problems WoT has:
Nobrainers everywhere. And they slowly and steadily emigrate to Historical mode. Now we have matches where 2-3 player has all the kills in the team, because the others derping around with gunpods, or shooting ground targets with a fighter…

I liked the WoT, but I came from Red Orchestra, and it’s arcade style always annoyed me, but I had nothing better. That’s my main problem with WoWP too. Planes flying like UFOs, HP system, bullets magically disintegrating after 700m + I blew up an armored train with machine guns.

However, they are less exhausting than WT, and that’s a good point for those who just wants to play, without any historical accuracy (I spent hours reading about planes I want to fly, and it paid back well in battles).

1 minute wait times? Maybe for tier 4+ at the moment but tier 1-3 it only takes a couple seconds, At least during peak times.

Persha worked with/for WG before. IIRC, Persha worked on the initial branches of the French tech tree.

WG is buying so many companies and studios that’s it’s hard to keep track of who’s where and doing what.

agree,
tried to play since Closed Beta and it’s very bad, sorry.
and it begs the comparison to WT.

same will be done to WT when they will come with GF, all will compare it to WoT and they can also fail bad.

Considering the amount of idiots in your average WoT battle, I’m not surprised that more people find WoWp even harder.

“What? I have to focus in all THREE dimensions now??” (brain asplodes)
WT and WoWp are very similar. WT just has a retarded leveling system, and stupidly easy flight controls, making shooting people down more luck than skill as sometimes it’ll take 5 hits, sometimes just 1.
Very easy to jump into, compared to WoWp, where one life, you die, back to garage for you.
People think it’s harder than Tanks, only because in tanks they actually have to drive towards the enemy for a few minutes before failing in just the same way
;P

Persha Studios are the devs who are doing all the actual work for WoWP, WG simply has their name on it in an attempt to replicate their success with WoT.

I’m no WT fanboy (I don’t even play it currently), I still play and enjoy WoT a bit, but I know a failed game when I see one (WoWP).

It’s not been promoted in Australia, New Zealand or Asia at all…you have a strangely shaped world.
