This is going to be short. I fired up air sim in 2013 and instantly got hooked. Got my ass kicked, did my research on most WW2 planes and tactics they used during combat. I got better i think.
I had a break from 2020 to 2025, it was still nice coming back but i am missing Historical Battles, every battle is some kind of fantasy setting Axis vs Allies, or even worse everybody vs everybody.
Also, every fighter pilot is sweeping the floor, no matter if it is zero or P47 usually nobody flies above 2000m.
Cmon guys, it is not about who is getting the most kills, this is not Call of Duty or other similar BS game. This is a game of skill, immersion, and staying alive to fight another day.
Other than that, WT is still awesome, and it is a joy to fly so many different warbirds.

Brewster,
I too am disappointed with what Air Sim has turned into. We have not seen any changes in quite some time. It’s true that fighters tend to have a better match and bombers and strike aircraft perform the same exact routine every time. Go bomb a base, bomb a ground battle, that’s if you’re lucky enough to not get intercepted early in your flight.
There is no denying that this game is amazing, it just feels as if this game mode has been forgotten. I think small changes here and there on a monthly basis would make it feel as if it were still alive. I miss the old objectives and small single-life mission sim maps.
If enduring confrontation is the only way forward, at least switch up the types of targets we deal with. I wouldn’t mind destroying a random pillbox, a patrol boat in a river, or even a random AAA or SAM. The objectives? How about an escorted aircraft carrying a HVT, or capture an airfield by destroying the defenses and landing on it. I miss the old pacific island maps where you only had a carrier and one island airfield.
Check out this video, it is much more in depth and thought out.
Enjoy the weekend.
