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

It can all be ported very easily so it can come to WT

Unfortunately, with the creation of an entirely new game, I would guess we would be lucky to see any of those planes here in WT in less than 2 - 3 years. Depending ofc on how well this new game does, that will most likely be a factor in any decision they make about adding that stuff here.
Although they are pretty adamant about this game is “Not about WW II only and never has been”, that still by no means will guarantee us anything here, even if they do make things for a new game . . . . unfortunately . . . way of the world.
And Gaijin has always been way better about doing what they want to do with/for the game than doing what players want specifically(prolly because those wants are all over the place with such a diverse player base), we have seen that time & time again. Which is ok, it is their game after all. Just wish the lines of communication were better . .
a lot better . . . but . . . C’est la Vie
Its a VR only game so i imagine its going to be too niche to be a big seller, its almost certainly runs the same dagor engine as all the ww2 models are ripped from WT so will probably handle the same too, id imagine it would be a literal C&P job to bring them into WT

Yeah, WW I aircraft/bi-planes were very simple. I kinda have a hard time understanding why they want to make it all complicated. Even “realistically” it should be simple and not as overly complex as it sounds/appears to be at this point. I mean I am sure many will love it . . . just how many remains to be seen.
I really want to be “optimistic” about it, just a little difficult at times, being pragmatic and all, lol(I can’t help it) and going off Gaijin’s “track record” for the 11 years I have been here.
Don’t want to be a naysayer, but there are some obvious . . . “obstacles”

Yeah Aces is pretty much just War Thunder but functional VR. They rip the models from War Thunder and improve the cockpits to make them usable with full VR controls. I’d imagine it would be easier to port the Aces models back into War Thunder as all they would really need to do is omit the code for the VR controls.
I am hoping that we see this done with the WW2 cockpits at the very least, some of the haven’t been touched for years and it would be nice to see them updated.

hopefully the improved models and cockpits make their way over to WT

seeing as WT is based on video games from 20 years ago its not impossible that when AT doesn’t do as well as they hope it all gets ported over

Yeah it could also be a way to get bomber cockpits into War Thunder, since the Aces team confirmed that you can manually control gunner stations we could see bomber interiors get modelled then port over. Would save money and time for the WT team

I have faith in the game, from what we have seen of it already I think it’s going to be successful. Not as successful as War Thunder but I think around as successful as other VR flight games like VTOL VR since it’s focus is on VR and the minority of gamers don’t play VR. But I’m hopeful for it and looking forward to play it.
I may be mistaken but some shots show landscapes that really look like maps in War Thunder, like Normandy… Not to mention the trenches which look exactly like the ground targets in some maps like Mozdok.

the game appears to be 70% exactly what you get in WT but with functional VR
Another suggestion approved

have you done one for a7v or are you planning ?
I’m only really planning on doing aircraft since they have the bigger chance of being added.
But if you want a suggestion for the A7V then you should make one, I was surprised by how easy it can be to make suggestions for the aircraft.
