i call it being hopeful
That’s cool, but wishful thinking and being practical/pragmatic are not always the same thing . . . I was just pointing that out is all . . . not an attack or anything personal.

Ah yes WW1 engineering at it’s finest a rally car pulling a bazillon ton cargo vessel truly a marvel of man.

Wonder if you have faced the i153 spam on reserve before it went up. With mouse aim and low speeds, not much skill is needed to spray 7mm on a 100kph ish climbing craft, who can pull to break itself in dives - fly in RoF and see how limited WW1 planes are in verticals. It’s far from Zeros vs Mustangs

Well people… Gaijin got ahead of us on this one. Here’s their new trailer for Aces of Thunder (their VR simulator).

It looks great, I can’t wait for it to finally come out. Hopefully the models ported over into War Thunder.
I believe the same engine is used for both games, that said I wouldn’t bet on it being ported. As many pointed out before, WW1 combat loses a lot of its charm in Arcade and Realistic battles because of the simplistic nature of the flight paired with the third person camera and the unreal manoeuver one can pull in the game. It’s not surprising that they chose their VR game for this reveal, it is the best place for immersive slow paced highly tactical combat like that.
That said, nothing’s out of reach. I’m hopeful, just as you, that they’ll consider expanding in WT.

I didn’t really want to play a whole separate game . . . and I don’t enjoy Sim that much(tanks are ok, but not the planes) mainly because of the cockpit only restriction and I don’t really do VR(not yet anyway).
So a whole new game, to start from scratch, with these “limitations” isn’t really what I was looking for myself. There are already a great deal of these games out there already, we don’t really need another one. Especially with “elitism” carved on it’s forehead.
Hopefully they are using the same Dagor engine and these things can be ported over here as well. I really want to fly WW I aircraft in WT . . . maybe without the near Tail Spin speeds they have forced on us in AB mode, and certainly not in a “one & done” format they use for RB . . . heck, why not bring back a “Historical” mode for WW I & give it some mechanics that are not so far fetched and over sped up like WT has become . . . remember, faster is not better, it’s just faster, that’s all . . . something I would hope the Devs come to realize at some point.
We can always hope, but it looks like making money trumps player’s wants, wishes & desires . . . yet again.
Sorry to sound like a naysayer, I want WW I aircraft as much as anyone, but I can’t help being pragmatic as well . . .

This looks interesting, although idk for me WW1 can’t come without atmosphere and an importance of the human, like I imagine that pilot would take his pistol and start shooting with it.
Battlefield 1 was pretty cool for me, despite I haven’t played it, I enjoyed to watch streams about it a lot.
Anyway, in general, downwards expansion of WT tech would be cool, but will probably never be a priority for Gaijin, considering how they are focusing on higher tiers now and barely adding anything WW2/Interwar even to tech trees which still missing a large portion of such tech, like Italian aviation for example.

hehe we seeing Ernst Udet’s painted Fokker D.VII that flew for one day
Indeed. There’s also Guynemer’s SPAD. I hope we’ll see the Nieuport 28 in it. It’s one of my favourites.
has that SPAD existed for more than one flight?
Most likely yes (though, if I recall correctly, Guynemer was shot down many times before his ultimate demise) But let’s be honest here, the flashiest the paint is, the more appealing the aircraft gets. That’s why they chose this red and white one.
yes I know, I just still find it funny that out of Udets 5 aircraft they chose the one with the shortest life time
by the way Udet’s DU DOCH NICHT! is also the only WWI Decal I know of that’s already in Warthunder
