As someone who was a pilot during WW2, I can confirm that we crashed into each other all the time, and our planes just bounced off. We used to attach little rubber bumpers, so it was a lot like bumper cars.
No this is a lie or a joke.. planes during in air crashes don't just bounce off.. if done right you could piggyback them.. it happened to a b17.. I think lost a wing to aa fire and it rolled over on to the top of another b17 probably killed both top gunners.. I mean I could see a accidental wing tap but a full on crash.. yeah that ain't possible.. most likely both wouldn't be able to fight and had to bail out.. or both would die on impact depending on how fast the other plane was going..
Yeah, they built pilots tough back then. A lot of the time they just leaned out and pushed the other aeroplane away with their bare hands. I read it on RUclips so it must be true.
As a plane enthusiast I can confirm that a ww2 era plane could survive a direct propeller strike, being shot 45,000 times by AA gunners, and 17 explosions in extremely close proximity without a single scratch. True attention to detail here.
As an Italian pilot during The Great War, I can also confirm that when I received hits from the Austro-Hungarian bullets, my vision suddenly became red for a bit and then it cleared up as soon as I got away from their firing trajectory.
I'm an actual Kamikaze pilot from the Pacific Campaigns of WW2. Since I was actually there, I can attest to the fact that this game looks exactly how it was during missions.

I remember when historical accuracy was something that mattered. The Japanese never intercepted a bombing raid on their warships, because there were multiple small attack groups. Plus on the last group they were too busy reloading their planes between bombs and torpedos. That and the first 3 attacks failed. The attack group that succeeded was lost and accidentally came from behind while they were switching and scored the fatal blows. About the only realistic thing was that the bomb hit the citadel of the carrier.

Can you imagine the rush this must have been for a pilot, or even an AA gunner on a ship, where every flak round fired at a plane gets louder and louder as the elevations decreases. Just the sensory feeling of pulling the trigger on both sides must have produced a feeling that is indescribable, even a 100 years after the fact.
This was not really realistic to how the Battle of Midway actually took place. In short most of the squadrons hit the Japanese fleet at different times and most of the Torpedo squadrons were wiped out but by the time VB6 / VB10 from the USS Enterprise were coming down over the Akagi and Kaga with their SBDs...the Japanese defenses were pretty depleted from the prior attacks and Combat Air Patrol were flying way too low and away from the fleet so they dove down only facing mostly enemy Flak and around the same time VB3 from the USS Yorktown struck the Soryu giving the US 3 enemy carrier kills within 10 minutes.
Talk to veterans and read actual accounts of war. Its not a rush, guys are crying, vomiting, running away, freaking out, friendly fire - then doing horrific shit to civilians to pass on the trauma.
once again, i am pleading with the game development gods, to please recreate the battle of Manila. it seems to be this forever ignored thing in movies and videogames for some reason.
Visually I love this... but the God-complex going on here makes this difficult to fully enjoy. Lol. The flak and smoke are wicked, but the unholy amounts of damage this plane and pilot take are laughable. Dude died like 27 times and you'd think he was flying a Tiger tank for the amount of abuse his fighter took. I know it's a game and needs to be viewed and treated as such... but this is over doing it.
you'd think he was flying a Tiger tank Don't give them any more ideas. Idiots developing games for multiple studios is all we need. Realism sacrificed for utter garbage.
wow. the graphics are great, but all of the inaccuracies make it hard to watch. I've studied aircraft my entire life and.... im just surprised CoD couldnt hire a consultant to just.... help provide a more historical gameplay.
More historical how? Badges? Insignias? Because if you are talking about the gameplay aspect then it is the way it is on purpose, if you die the first time you get shot or bump into something then console players would not purchase the game.
As a veteran of many WW2 allied aircampaigns I can can confirm that being shot by 20mm rounds by other planes or ship deck guns would make me see red, but for slightly more than 4 seconds.
Not to be that guy, but he tangled with zeros in a Dauntless, no less, while carrying a 1000 lb bomb, dove to drop said single bomb, continue to tangle with zeros in a dauntless while evading flak, climb while while tangling with zeros and being easy pickings for the flak, and then drop a second(?!) 1000 lb bomb supposedly crippling two Japanese carriers. He must be flying the most powerful plane of the entire war. Oh, and all those guys bailing would almost certainly be dead, either dead on impact, exposure, or picked of by Japanese patrol boats and escort ships.
has a head-on collision with an enemy aircraft, completely fine. Bumps into a friendly aircraft, both are fine. Shoots 2 bullets into enemy airplane, instantly destroyed lol
Some kind of indestructive warbird especially against mid-air-, and debris collisions fighting static fleet carrier type naval vessels. Maximum arcade!
If we didnt win that battle at midway then the west coast of USA would of got attacked. Thank you for all the veterans and fallen ones who protected this country. 🇺🇲
Maybe, or Japan would have kept America out of the war like she should have been due to her policy. But we all know she wanted this to happen. Wouldn't have had all the profits and world domination if they didn't get involved.
Well now the west coast states are liberal communists so not sure that's any better. Yes Japan did attack the US at Peal Harbor first but there's a lot of very suspicions things that have been declassified that lead a critical thinker to believe some within the US government and military intelligence knew Japan was planning a attack on Pearl Harbor and allowed it to happen to gin up support for entering the war. They intercepted radio communications from the Japanese attack fleet several days prior and they moved all the carriers out of Pearl Harbor days before the attack so they wouldn't be destroyed.
@@merdoc81 uh yah. It's not just coming to light. Things like Station H in Oahu which picked up Isoroku Yamamotos only transmission to Japan on December 6th that he was carrying out the attack at pearl Harbour. America had already broken both codes purple and orange used by the Japanese. America maneuvered her self into a position to get attacked because the general public didn't want to go to war, especially after the results of both Dunkirk and World War 1 Americans were not inclined to go to war. Japan was taught to do everything it did up until 1945 by the United States. So it's really the states fault for any atrocities. They taught the Japanese how to kill their own indisgienous population. Showed how to fight guerilla forces (killing civilians) and showed how to force isolationist countries to open to force. All lessons given out by 'MERICA
@@merdoc81 you are 100% correct. America knew. She wanted to be attacked. Military personnel were targeted and mostly died it's a win win. I would have much rather a R bomb on California but whatever.
Runs into multiple planes midair. Nothing happens. Unlimited ammo. Shoots friendlies. Indestructible plane Reads title and sees it's call of duty. Explains everything
"SBDs with open canopies" is kind of a trope though. There are lots of historic photos showing that crews flew like that. Considering the plane (historicaly) is a naval dive-bomber there are certain upsides to it as well. The biggest one is that it greatly increases visibility for the pilot (an actual complaint of US-pilots in early'ish WWII were the birdcage-style canopies that obstructed pilots vision). A benefit of that during a combat-sortie is that it helps with targetaquisition, since the SBD doesn't have a floorwindow to show the pilot whats beneth him, he has to check the target first before an attack and can't initiate a dive every 5 minutes to check if he would have a good angle to drop since he carries up to 1500 Ibs of bombs. Better to just look out of the cockpit and over the wing. There are also no real downside to having the canopy open since the gunner/radiooperator station and the pilot station are not seperated from each other. If you have a gun in the back it's going to be cold either way. The only time where it is useful to fly with a closed canopy would be during heavy weather for obvious reasons.
@@peerschulz2029 That's interesting. I would have thought you'd get more areodynamic drag with the canopy open and make the plane slower than it needed to be.
As a German fighter on the Messerschmitt BF-109, I can confirm, my plane has taken thousands of hits and never crash. And I remember vividly I flew straight into a Heinkel HE 111. Just bounced off. Nothing much
If anything, I think this does prove that there may still be a market for a fun, arcade-y WW2-era air combat game. If Sledgehammer--which is not a developer with much experience with aircraft and air combat games, to say the least--can churn out something like this, then a proper aircraft game developer like Project Aces may able to come up with something really special.
The flak seems a bit over volume of actual Japanese flak levels during the war. Which were known to be quite limited. Their doctorine relied more on the zeros defending the fleet then idea like ship based batteries.
I have a few model ships of the IJN, at the start of the war, this is accurate but as the war dragged on, they refitted their ships with heavier AA. Even the famous Yamato had two of its 155mm triple turrets removed in favor of an impressive array of AA guns. The destroyers they launched during the war were already fitted with type 98, 10cm dual purpose guns which were very handy anti-aircraft guns. The main drawback of the IJN compared to the USN was that they used timed fuzes on their AA shells, the USN used proximity fuzes which were very effective in all ranges unlike the timed ones.
Ye I don't think US would have won that battle with this much flaks lol I think people including the devs underestimate the power of those things exploding close enough to your plane to destabilize it or disorient the pilot himself.
Yes, the Japanese carriers didn't have nearly enough anti-aircraft guns. In general, Japan didn't focus on defense *at all,* their idea of a fight was a lightning-fast decapitation with a Samurai sword and end of story. This unfortunate doctrine was their downfall in WW II, because they had no plan for what to do if they started losing.
Really I didn't know all these World War I veterans are still alive when documentary's say there's only a few alive and they're not even pilots. Video game World War I pilots don't count

@@funkdocdoppelganger7720 Well that would explain the reason why I haven’t seen a console available anywhere. I wasn’t aware that Sony was dealing with these issues but it doesn’t surprise me at all. I only purchased the PlayStation consoles in the past due to my following of the SOCOM video game series. This game was the sole reason for me buy PlayStation after my first online experience with it on PS II. I tried getting with the Battle Fields, Call of Duty and the Division series games. All great games but for me none of them can touch SOCOM and they ended that series I’m guessing due to development issues with the vendors. So the issues tat they are facing now doesn’t surprise me at all.
@@funkdocdoppelganger7720 PS5 is easily available in the USA now. Nobody needs one because there's no amazing content/games out right now. Like this game for instance, I can play it on max settings on my PC and it still doesn't look as realistic as a Call of Duty single player mission from years ago.
This mission is based off of an elite anti-kamikaze squadron that rammed into Japanese planes before they could reach the American targets. Fascinating
As a doughboy serving in the American Civil War, I can confirm the planes were completely indestructible as long as I was flying them. Could fly those babies right into the ground and be A-OK.
Being a dive bomber looks hectic and it took wabos to do, but torpedo bombing was a wholenother level of crazy. At least a dive bomber could dodge a little bit while making a dive and the dive made their speed fast. TB aircraft had to fly level and slow and literally were sitting ducks.
Also, for the TB crews, their Mark XIV torpedoes were trash, failing to steer properly or detonate at least 70% of the time. In a pre-war cost-cutting move, the Bureau of Ordnance had barely tested them. Then the shooting started and sailors were left with those POS torpedoes. Crews that tried to fix them got disciplined by the higher-ups for "tampering", and the Bureau consistently blamed pilots and submariners for incompetence. In short, for realism, if this was a TB mission, the game would instruct you to replace the DualSense controller with a midget and a brick and let him punch you in the balls for 5 straight hours, then tell you the mission failed because you suck. For reference, here's a well-researched video on the whole Mark XIV fiasco: ruclips.net/video/eQ5Ru7Zu_1I/видео.html
Way too many fighters, the zeros were way too low to intercept the dive bombers because they had spent the entire morning intercepting the torpedo bombers, without their sacrifice the dive bombers would have been mince meat as well
I'd be more tempted to try this game out if there was an entire portion of the game dedicated to flying. Shame there aren't games that focus on the stories of pilots more. There's so many stories to tell, instead we get more shooters... with single soldiers taking out the entirety of the Axis....
War Thunder is more realistic, when you reaching high speed, your wings may break from strong air resistance or when you sharply change your fly direction the pilot can lose consciousness.
As a pilot in the second Punic war, I could only wish we had infinite bullets. Of course maybe that was only an option in the infinity armored dive bombing fighters of WW2.
This is the problem, people can't really just play a game without expecting it to be super perfect, they have to critique every aspect, it doesn't have to be super realistic, it looks damn fun imo and that's all that should be expected
Great graphics and mostly non-cringe dialogue/acting, but comic book/arcade combat and flying physics. Torpedo bombers having dogfights with Zeros--and winning?
You can do a good job to tell the story of what dive bombers experienced during the war. I think that's what they should have focused on. It would have made it more realistic. Or fighters, whatever. Doing both just kills it for me.
😲 Ces jeux vidéos ne cesses de m'impressionner par la qualité de l' image on voit que c' est de l image de synthèse mais franchement ça me laisse bouche bée
My Grandpa told me stories of the people he went up against during the London air raids. He had a couple of Kraut friends that he would spend hours playing bumper cars after they finished their raids.
They don't make planes of this quality anymore unfortunately. Bumping into other planes without even much as a scratch, respawning ammo, defying the laws of physics. True realism right here.
This is not historical...SBD Dauntless dive bombers weren't intercepted by Zeros...on the other hands, nearly all TBD Devastators torpedo bombers were decimated by Zeros in Midway

yes as a former WW2 pilot, i can confirm that we keep our canopies open while we dogfight so as to be able to survive any bullet that approaches the cockpit
It was seriously the most realistic game I ever saw up untill the crash into each other.
Imagine being a pilot back in WW2 where in the midst of intense battle you can hear amazing background music while shooting down zeros.
LOL 😂
Not to mention subtitles flashing up in your vision giving instructions on exactly what to do…
Shooting down zeros in a dauntless dive bomber 💀 . Not even some navak fighters were capable of doing that
The Dauntless aircraft had a pretty impressive record player built in for just this purpose. You could play your favorite music while on mission. Years later the Japanese would incorporate this stolen technology into the "Skip-free" CD players known as a "Discman". Fascinating stuff. :D

@@jdlamb4212 that guy thinks hollywood movies are documentaries lol
This was not really realistic to how the Battle of Midway actually took place. In short most of the squadrons hit the Japanese fleet at different times and most of the Torpedo squadrons were wiped out but by the time VB6 / VB10 from the USS Enterprise were coming down over the Akagi and Kaga with their SBDs...the Japanese defenses were pretty depleted from the prior attacks and Combat Air Patrol were flying way too low and away from the fleet so they dove down only facing mostly enemy Flak and around the same time VB3 from the USS Yorktown struck the Soryu giving the US 3 enemy carrier kills within 10 minutes.
Talk to veterans and read actual accounts of war. Its not a rush, guys are crying, vomiting, running away, freaking out, friendly fire - then doing horrific shit to civilians to pass on the trauma.

Visually I love this... but the God-complex going on here makes this difficult to fully enjoy. Lol. The flak and smoke are wicked, but the unholy amounts of damage this plane and pilot take are laughable. Dude died like 27 times and you'd think he was flying a Tiger tank for the amount of abuse his fighter took.

More historical how? Badges? Insignias? Because if you are talking about the gameplay aspect then it is the way it is on purpose, if you die the first time you get shot or bump into something then console players would not purchase the game.
No I mean the aircraft carriers not even moving when they should be at full speed.
As a veteran of many WW2 allied aircampaigns I can can confirm that being shot by 20mm rounds by other planes or ship deck guns would make me see red, but for slightly more than 4 seconds.
Not to be that guy, but he tangled with zeros in a Dauntless, no less, while carrying a 1000 lb bomb, dove to drop said single bomb, continue to tangle with zeros in a dauntless while evading flak, climb while while tangling with zeros and being easy pickings for the flak, and then drop a second(?!) 1000 lb bomb supposedly crippling two Japanese carriers. He must be flying the most powerful plane of the entire war.
Oh, and all those guys bailing would almost certainly be dead, either dead on impact, exposure, or picked of by Japanese patrol boats and escort ships.

If we didnt win that battle at midway then the west coast of USA would of got attacked. Thank you for all the veterans and fallen ones who protected this country. 🇺🇲
Maybe, or Japan would have kept America out of the war like she should have been due to her policy. But we all know she wanted this to happen. Wouldn't have had all the profits and world domination if they didn't get involved.
@@Canadianvoice The US was attacked by Japan first? So then they joined the war effort. I’m not sure what you are getting at here
Well now the west coast states are liberal communists so not sure that's any better. Yes Japan did attack the US at Peal Harbor first but there's a lot of very suspicions things that have been declassified that lead a critical thinker to believe some within the US government and military intelligence knew Japan was planning a attack on Pearl Harbor and allowed it to happen to gin up support for entering the war. They intercepted radio communications from the Japanese attack fleet several days prior and they moved all the carriers out of Pearl Harbor days before the attack so they wouldn't be destroyed.
@@merdoc81 uh yah. It's not just coming to light. Things like Station H in Oahu which picked up Isoroku Yamamotos only transmission to Japan on December 6th that he was carrying out the attack at pearl Harbour. America had already broken both codes purple and orange used by the Japanese. America maneuvered her self into a position to get attacked because the general public didn't want to go to war, especially after the results of both Dunkirk and World War 1 Americans were not inclined to go to war.
Japan was taught to do everything it did up until 1945 by the United States. So it's really the states fault for any atrocities. They taught the Japanese how to kill their own indisgienous population. Showed how to fight guerilla forces (killing civilians) and showed how to force isolationist countries to open to force. All lessons given out by 'MERICA
@@merdoc81 you are 100% correct. America knew. She wanted to be attacked. Military personnel were targeted and mostly died it's a win win. I would have much rather a R bomb on California but whatever.

Unlimited ammo.

Indestructible plane
Reads title and sees it's call of duty.
Explains everything
Flying with open canopy. Extremely realistic...
Or flying directly into another plane and survive.
I always had the canopy open during carrier operations in IL2, didn't know that was such a big deal lol
Who needs maximum performance in combat? lol.
"SBDs with open canopies" is kind of a trope though. There are lots of historic photos showing that crews flew like that. Considering the plane (historicaly) is a naval dive-bomber there are certain upsides to it as well. The biggest one is that it greatly increases visibility for the pilot (an actual complaint of US-pilots in early'ish WWII were the birdcage-style canopies that obstructed pilots vision).
A benefit of that during a combat-sortie is that it helps with targetaquisition, since the SBD doesn't have a floorwindow to show the pilot whats beneth him, he has to check the target first before an attack and can't initiate a dive every 5 minutes to check if he would have a good angle to drop since he carries up to 1500 Ibs of bombs. Better to just look out of the cockpit and over the wing.
There are also no real downside to having the canopy open since the gunner/radiooperator station and the pilot station are not seperated from each other. If you have a gun in the back it's going to be cold either way. The only time where it is useful to fly with a closed canopy would be during heavy weather for obvious reasons.
@@peerschulz2029 That's interesting. I would have thought you'd get more areodynamic drag with the canopy open and make the plane slower than it needed to be.
Dammmnit! Even my head was turning too!! 👀👀
As a German fighter on the Messerschmitt BF-109, I can confirm, my plane has taken thousands of hits and never crash. And I remember vividly I flew straight into a Heinkel HE 111. Just bounced off. Nothing much
If anything, I think this does prove that there may still be a market for a fun, arcade-y WW2-era air combat game. If Sledgehammer--which is not a developer with much experience with aircraft and air combat games, to say the least--can churn out something like this, then a proper aircraft game developer like Project Aces may able to come up with something really special.
War Thunder...
They didn't churn out crap. This isn't even an arcade-y air combat game, this is point and click with plot armor.
IL2 and DCS are amused at WT and whatever the hell this button mashing console typical CoD crapshooter for 8 year olds.

One of the greatest battles in WW2.

Brave of them to allow someone who has clearly never played any games previously, to demonstrate their new game. Inclusivity++
The flak seems a bit over volume of actual Japanese flak levels during the war. Which were known to be quite limited. Their doctorine relied more on the zeros defending the fleet then idea like ship based batteries.
I have a few model ships of the IJN, at the start of the war, this is accurate but as the war dragged on, they refitted their ships with heavier AA. Even the famous Yamato had two of its 155mm triple turrets removed in favor of an impressive array of AA guns. The destroyers they launched during the war were already fitted with type 98, 10cm dual purpose guns which were very handy anti-aircraft guns. The main drawback of the IJN compared to the USN was that they used timed fuzes on their AA shells, the USN used proximity fuzes which were very effective in all ranges unlike the timed ones.
Ye I don't think US would have won that battle with this much flaks lol
I think people including the devs underestimate the power of those things exploding close enough to your plane to destabilize it or disorient the pilot himself.
Not to mention the flak only detonated at whatever range was set iirc. So having flak constantly blow up in front of your plane as you dive is silly
That's all you find unrealistic??? 🤔 The whole overdriven battle scene is completely unrealistic.
Yes, the Japanese carriers didn't have nearly enough anti-aircraft guns. In general, Japan didn't focus on defense *at all,* their idea of a fight was a lightning-fast decapitation with a Samurai sword and end of story. This unfortunate doctrine was their downfall in WW II, because they had no plan for what to do if they started losing.
Campaign modes on COD will always be Godly
Damn, didn’t know they had video recording equipment back in these days!
As a pilot of US airforce in 1944 i can confirm that computer games were better back then
That's how Medal of Honour: Pacific Assault looked to me in my eyes
As a former Marine of the United States, that looks fun as hell!
As someone who was a fighter pilot during WW1 I can confirm we had hot plates and karaoke machines inside the cockpits.
Really I didn't know all these World War I veterans are still alive when documentary's say there's only a few alive and they're not even pilots. Video game World War I pilots don't count

Sony has bigger fish to fry even before more games drop , how about get the chips made , and get more consoles distributed... They need just do a complete do-over with PS5, from the look and size of it , to storage capacity, backwards compatibility, etc... it just hasn't been a success... we watch these 4k videos on beautiful looking games but hardly anyone even has a console... LOL..
@@funkdocdoppelganger7720 Well that would explain the reason why I haven’t seen a console available anywhere. I wasn’t aware that Sony was dealing with these issues but it doesn’t surprise me at all. I only purchased the PlayStation consoles in the past due to my following of the SOCOM video game series. This game was the sole reason for me buy PlayStation after my first online experience with it on PS II. I tried getting with the Battle Fields, Call of Duty and the Division series games. All great games but for me none of them can touch SOCOM and they ended that series I’m guessing due to development issues with the vendors. So the issues tat they are facing now doesn’t surprise me at all.
@@funkdocdoppelganger7720 PS5 is easily available in the USA now. Nobody needs one because there's no amazing content/games out right now. Like this game for instance, I can play it on max settings on my PC and it still doesn't look as realistic as a Call of Duty single player mission from years ago.
This mission is based off of an elite anti-kamikaze squadron that rammed into Japanese planes before they could reach the American targets. Fascinating
As a doughboy serving in the American Civil War, I can confirm the planes were completely indestructible as long as I was flying them. Could fly those babies right into the ground and be A-OK.
Being a dive bomber looks hectic and it took wabos to do, but torpedo bombing was a wholenother level of crazy. At least a dive bomber could dodge a little bit while making a dive and the dive made their speed fast. TB aircraft had to fly level and slow and literally were sitting ducks.
Yeah id rather be in a SBD dive bomber than a TBD torpedo plane
Also, for the TB crews, their Mark XIV torpedoes were trash, failing to steer properly or detonate at least 70% of the time. In a pre-war cost-cutting move, the Bureau of Ordnance had barely tested them. Then the shooting started and sailors were left with those POS torpedoes. Crews that tried to fix them got disciplined by the higher-ups for "tampering", and the Bureau consistently blamed pilots and submariners for incompetence. In short, for realism, if this was a TB mission, the game would instruct you to replace the DualSense controller with a midget and a brick and let him punch you in the balls for 5 straight hours, then tell you the mission failed because you suck.
For reference, here's a well-researched video on the whole Mark XIV fiasco: ruclips.net/video/eQ5Ru7Zu_1I/видео.html
@@ApokalyptikNM the TBD Devastator never flew another mission after Midway because of how bad they were.
@@specialwhenlit8435 THIS GUY GETS IT!
Way too many fighters, the zeros were way too low to intercept the dive bombers because they had spent the entire morning intercepting the torpedo bombers, without their sacrifice the dive bombers would have been mince meat as well
Gotta tell you. You made me download this game just to see if it is this hard to shoot. Thanks for the video though.
imagine sitting backwards in a dog fight. damn these guys had balls
I'd be more tempted to try this game out if there was an entire portion of the game dedicated to flying.
Shame there aren't games that focus on the stories of pilots more. There's so many stories to tell, instead we get more shooters... with single soldiers taking out the entirety of the Axis....
Well....War Thunder is an option...
War Thunder is more realistic, when you reaching high speed, your wings may break from strong air resistance or when you sharply change your fly direction the pilot can lose consciousness.
Are we going to ignore the fact that the plane's engine is running WITHOUT a pilot inside the plane?
As a pilot in the second Punic war, I could only wish we had infinite bullets. Of course maybe that was only an option in the infinity armored dive bombing fighters of WW2.
Were you part of the squadron that provided air support for the Carthaginian panzers during the charge at Cannae?
This graphics say everything why i like console more than computer
Amazing, console graphics finally reached 2005 PC level graphics 😂
A dive bomber that was forced to engage fighters would have jettisoned its bomb load when called upon to do so.
This is the problem, people can't really just play a game without expecting it to be super perfect, they have to critique every aspect, it doesn't have to be super realistic, it looks damn fun imo and that's all that should be expected
it's unnecessarily dumb
Damn head to head shoot with enemy last clip make more excited
Gives me flashbacks of dogfighting in my trusty Sopwith Camel.. Those were the days.
The mission feels like a roller coaster ride. It's fun!!!
Great graphics and mostly non-cringe dialogue/acting, but comic book/arcade combat and flying physics. Torpedo bombers having dogfights with Zeros--and winning?
if all you did was torpedo bomb, and avoid the dogfights.. the game wouldnt be as fun would it.
Yeah, the old dilemma between realism and fun. Impossible to please all of us, I know.
You can do a good job to tell the story of what dive bombers experienced during the war. I think that's what they should have focused on. It would have made it more realistic. Or fighters, whatever. Doing both just kills it for me.

'C'mon, man'.. yeah, they used to say that all the time back in 1942
The only thing that would make this a more ULTRA REALISTIC WW2 experience is if they included the audio announcer saying "m-m-m-mega kill!".
Everything was so realistic until you rammed with another fighter.
"zeroes out of nowhere" they literally have the entire big E squadron flying up but no one sees the zeroes approaching
Woow. It's realy cool realistic graphics 💪
My Grandpa told me stories of the people he went up against during the London air raids. He had a couple of Kraut friends that he would spend hours playing bumper cars after they finished their raids.
They don't make planes of this quality anymore unfortunately. Bumping into other planes without even much as a scratch, respawning ammo, defying the laws of physics. True realism right here.
Even though it's not the most realistic you gotta be honest, it looks fkn good. But yea, why tf didn't he close the cockpit☠️
