I've always had a huge nerdcrush on the Corsair, good to see it will be in the game.

I wonder how they will balance the speeds of the aircraft. Obviously the Sabre and ME262 are tier 10, and the biplanes are tier 1 or so. But the biplanes can maintain a slow speed, whereas the jets will need to maintain a certain speed before stalling thus limiting their time when fighting a biplane and the like.

Now that I look at it, it is kinda a self policing system where the higher tier planes are still better than the lower tier planes, without making it a duck shooting contest and giving the lower tier guys some chance of fighting back.

Ah yes, I see the Germans have a nice line of Boom and Zoom fighters to play. That'll do me nicely.

Why dogfight when you can drop in, blow someone's wing off with cannon fire, and zoom on outta there?

Although of course, its Wargaming, so they'll probably put an altitude cap on of 500ft or some shit, so you cant actually get up enough speed to B'n'Z effectively.

I feel a distinct lack of P-40 Tomahawk in those screenshots and trailers :/

although the Sabre is p.cool

Couldn't find it on the beta forum: Are there any official news regarding the gameplay? So will every side only have these "heavy fighter" planes, which seem to be bombers without bombs plus the traditional dogfighters? Is there something like ground AA + an objective for each map or just plain TDM?

I feel the same for German FW 190. Better fighter than Me 109, IMHO.

[Hel OWeen]

Dupe post ... forum seems to produce a lot of those lately.

[Lancehot]

I look forward to seeing planes getting stuck to the corners of clouds

Goddammit I hope the open beta for this starts soon, I wanna play it so hard

Sounds like someone played AirAttack (or FA).

Would be fun if the top tier planes would feature some radar, having to fiddle with azimuth and angle to find the enemy. Wonder if that'll significantly increase the number of rage fueled cardiovascual incidents in the more competent playerbase as their toptiers fail. :P

Answered with "What is Flight Sim", since I figured they want to attract casual players.

[Lief Siddhe]

Goodbye, World of Tanks, it was fun while it lasted

If I don't get into this beta I'll be mighty disappoint
