But seriously, where are these realistic elements in WoT? What? Oh, they aren’t there? So then why is it a very successful game?

WoWP does not need to be a sim to be popular. It desperately needs (imho):
- at least 6 new maps (3 for lowbies, 3 for highbies): it’s very boring to play on the same maps, I agree
- every nation needs all lines ASAP (fighter line(s), heavy line and GA line), because right now, it’s quite limited. You can only fly Soviet planes if you want to kill ground targets, you can only fly Germans for (good) heavy fighters, etc.
- more game modes (this should be the top priority): much like tanks, some Encounter or Assault mode or something… where one team has to bomb the crap out of the enemy base, while the other team has to not let that happen… or flying over a specific region of air would start a “base capture” counter (much like in other arcade MMO games like Star Conflict, like a “beacon capture” mode)
- first person view!!! It doesn’t work with tanks, that’s okay, but in most planes you are alone by yourself, so why can’t I feel like I’m actually in the plane?

Who cares if it’s not realistic in terms of ammunition loads, engine boost and such, if it’s more than just “let’s kill the other team as fast as we can”, it will become much better! And I say this as someone who still enjoys flying in WoWP, even though I just realized (after playing the American Navy line and the Brit heavy line) that the soviet Yak line is for me, because I can’t fly high to save my life. I’m still having fun.

Niche games do sell millions, but that does not mean millions in profit, and there is a reason most of those studios are one and done or never leave mom’s basement.

Alas, direct neural interfacing is no more reality today than commuting to work with jetpacks or laz0r pishtuls.
Seriously.
What the *fuck* are you expecting in terms of user-end interface hardware?

Do I even need to explain why this would be even more retarded than with teh tanks? Rocket interceptors (operational models: 1) aside warbirds had operational range in the high hundreds of kilometers and fuel endurance measured in multiple hours.

even comparing arcade to WoWP, the flight models in WT are far better modeled and the controls are inherently more intuitive for mouse aim, as for joystick, well if you fly joystick, play realistic battles, like me.

but WoWP has a joke of a flight model on their aircraft, everything seems to defy physics and firing at control surfaces does little to hinder an aircraft’s performance.

I dont ask for absolute realism from WoWP, since it is an arcade shooter, but it is not a game about air combat at all, it is more like a game about machines moving through a viscous fluid firing at each other suffering no damage until they arbitrarily explode (or get set on fire or lose their “engine”)

Now i could go on and on with points to prove the above statement and there will always be people who will argue with their own point of view. You can choose to believe what ever is your hearts desire.

stop playing arcade on WT, there is a reason why there are 2 more game options in WT.

The article is flawed as well because the higher up in tiers you go the bigger the maps get, some of the tier 5+ maps are huge to take into account hte fact jet planes move much faster. This person clearly hasn’t progressed far enough in the game to know this.

His comment about bombers is valid though, they would be a great addition to the game but lets not forget that WoWP hasn’t even been released long, and I am sure they will come in time.

Also battles can be won by destroying ground targets, again something he would know if he had spent more than 5min playing the game.
