Yeah it has VR support but dear god the stutters. Stutters worse than the Kings Speech.
Yeah in the game where they said “you just pay for the base game additional aircraft are grind free” they have now implemented DLC packs. You also need to grind for weapon options too I saw a loadout for bombs and rockets for the IL-2 require 50 kills.
I honestly don’t know why I ever thought that Gaijin could make VR properly. Suffers from all the same performance issues and rendering issues.
The hand controls are cool in concept but for the sake of the menu have been done poorly. Here’s me trying to change the cloud settings to medium for 25 seconds because instead of it being like other VR games where you point and then click you can only point but it cycles through all of the options at once.
Spoiler
The WW1 planes are awesome but suffer from very limited choice. Hopefully we get more of them at some point (+ add them to WT).
Spoiler
But also since there aren’t many players the lobbies are full of bots which still have the same issues as in War Thunder where they completely overperform.
Spoiler
Anytime a player gets behind an AI they go turbo mode and just pull vertical loops without any loss of speed and insane turning circles. They don’t do this when other AI are going for them only when a player does.
Overall I’d give it a 5/10. Cool in theory, poorly done, but the WW1 is still cool. If it wasn’t for the performance issues and them just not fixing the rendering issues from WT VR then I’d give it a higher score.
There is another VR WW1 flight game called Warplanes WW1 which while being more arcady does them a lot more justice. Has more options for planes, renders ground targets a lot better, has both multiplayer and single player missions.

You know what, it’s a VR game but plays so much better on flatscreen. Decided to get my HOTAS set up and it feels so much better than in VR. Will try VR + HOTAS next to see if that’s an improvement.
Spoiler
And yes for anyone that will be playing it in flatscreen mode and tabs out from the game this issue is now present across both WT and Aces. Game freezing and completely unresponsive when alt-tabbing. How they managed this I have no idea.
The flight model is butchered and the whole reason it’s using R-60Ms is because on launch R-73s were unbalanced for the game. Now there are AIM-9Ms and a plethora of aircraft that are more than a match for it. Why not revise its weaponry and flight performance?
It’s such a weird loadout to begin with, it rarely used R-60Ms in Soviet service. The R-73s were one of its trademarks.

Ah-64A peten should get the µDIRCM irl soon.
Instead of MiG-29 K/KR, we get upgraded Yak-141 huh. Wonder if they take away the R-27Es

this topic has been beaten dead so often that I really dont understand why people still argue about this
if Gaijin changed their mind about this then some MiG-29s like the German one would lose all reason to exist in the game
they will never change the IR missile choice for them, they never planned to and they’re now in a position where they dont see a reason to do so at all at no point in the future
there have been many proposals for how to go around this, getting rid of R-27ER on the early ones etc but that doesn’t matter because theres neither intent nor reasonable pressure to change this

Maybe the fact there are far better planes at same BR? I mean this is pure compression but there is no denying the F15A is far superior than the fulcrum in every way possible, kinetic, electronics, missiles, everything.
And the crowd goes… boo.
The WW1 is fun except for the AI not being bound to the laws of physics and pretty much noclip around in fights. (Especially when they are flying the SPAD.)
The WW2 feels awful again due to the AI being super human. And it’s not like you can just fight other players since there just aren’t any players. In 3 hours I’ve seen 3 people. Also the loadout options are extremely limited and have to be grinded through kills which are impossible for some.
This should have just been an update for WT not a standalone game.

It feels like it’s got the same level of commitment as air sim. Absolutely none.
They could turn it around but I doubt it. My hopes now is for them to just salvage the WW1 planes and put them into WT.

They could just ditch air sim at this point.
By the state of it they ditched it a long time ago.
They’re gonna, just like they did with Active Matter.
Arc Raiders did it better so they just threw a hissy fit and gave us “infantry”.
I meant get rid of it. It’s pure torture to get someone to play it. And for sim I was really expecting something more mission focused like that anti-SPAA game or some sort of CAS + escort mission. Sucks RN.
