I've played it for years and really like WOWP's! It's not War Thunder and was never intended to be. It's a much more arcade style game that offers much faster gameplay and decision making then games based more on realism. Realism sometimes goes too far and really slows down the gameplay in my opinion. Seeing A LOT more new players on the Asia server too! Once you get your planes specialized and equipment developed and calibrated then you can really make an impact on a battle as well!
In a "realistic" game you would get about a minute of actual air fighting in a mission that lasts for a lot longer than that. Arcade mode is a lot more enjoyable for air combat. Less time spent doing next to nothing
Despite everything world of warplanes have far better mission designs than war thunder, it really feels like every plane has a place meanwhile in war thunder you have to engage in dogfighst with a B-29.
@@angelapolinar5343 I hate te mechanic of the bomb detonation by receiving damage, its realistic but since it makes bombers so much easier to kill they should at least have reduced the repair costs.
@@StrayGuard thats why bombers are usually above clouds to avoid being spotted and not in sea level where dogfighters are, and thats why bombers usually have a tail gunner, sounds more like skill issue than a game issue imho
@@Nunnuka You meant useless turret gunners, that after being nerfed will engage enemy at less than 200m. So when you have to fly, while being shot from 300m, stupid gunners will not do a thing. They were nerfed a lot time ago, because dogfighters where salty for being killed by turret AI. Being above the clouds is not magical shield that other planes cannot reach. And a lot of fighters have much better climbing speed, so you are not safe even at 10km.
World of warships the boats have healthbars, this fine. World of tanks the tanks have healthbars, this is getting pretty bad. World of warplanes, the planes have healthbars, god save us.
This is one great game. You can earn gold coins and the XP earned can be used in W.o.T. In the past six months, I've earned 85,000 gold coins in Warplanes and that can be used in W.o.T. too. I've also won 80 days of Premium memership time for free. The game is in your Wargaming Information Center and is free to play. A joystick is not needed. A keyboard and mouse can be superior.
i think world of warplanes is a decent game for me, world of tanks and war thunder ground arcade are about equal, i dont hate one more than the other, but in this case, i prefer world of warplanes over war thunder air arcade i like the gameplay of wowp, because its really fast pace, theres always something to do, and you cant really get furious, theres no reason to get angry in this game. its chill just shooting at bots that can occastionally kill me if im overly confident. its just a quick but chill game i watched reviews of all of the tier 10 planes before i started less than a year ago. i went with the soviet multirole line that leads up to the i-215, because it was said that its a really unfriendly line for noobs. what ended up happening is that i fell in love with the line, ai got the hang of aiming decently and now im grinding towards the british hunter, which will be my second tier 10
this game is like a guilty pleasure for me. Load it up every so often and play it. I honestly enjoy it when I'm like the only human player on the team. It doesn't really work well with lots of humans because the fighting is very shallow.
Thanks for covering the game again! Glad you are enjoying it. You are right to some extent about affect on battle. Like World of Tanks, there is a limit to how much you can "carry" your team. Feel free to hop over to my channel for some videos on game mechanics and tips/tricks!
@@thesnazzycometI imagine you are well beyond most of the combat maneuver videos given your WT experience! 😄 But some of the game mechanics might be of interest to you or your viewers!
@@thesnazzycometYes! I actually have my keyboard remapped similar to WT defaults (I play both as well) and that helps a great deal. I moved Boost and Flaps to Shift and Control respectively. W and S are now pitch down and pitch up. Q and E are rudder control. I go over the changes here: ruclips.net/video/iN4aqG5CaD4/видео.html
The people that bitch about WOWP, are usually the ones that don’t put in the effort to learn it. Aren’t the purpose of games is to be fun and to enjoy them? Why people hate on this game comes off as snobbish. It’s not perfect but fun, as it should be.
well how to put effort to learn in a game that has like 100 active players and nothing to learn, just chase mouse use flaps on turns, thats about it, i did give it a fair chance and completely researched usa tech tree and i still feel like its mobile game with no mechanics to learn, every gun feels same, lead is almost identical with every gun, you can drop your speed as low as you want without any problem pretty much. it's airplane game so i think at least basic physics should be there
The XF5U was called the "Flying Flapjack" and the only prototype was so sturdy that the yanks had to use a wrecking ball to destroy it. At least they did THAT right.
Compare the game to others in its niche. DCS is notoriously pricey, sure there's Ace Combat but that's much more of a "story" video game. And then there's War Blunder...I'd rather not compare World Of Warplanes to Gaijin's dumpster fire. I guess there's Microsoft CFS. Ummm, maybe WoWp isn't that good of a game, but compared to some competitors I think it shines. Perhaps judged as a video game on its own the errors are more glaring, but judged by the same metrics as its competitors I'd rather play WoWp than anything else. OK, maybe AC3.
Its actually quite challenging to shoot down higher tier aircraft, as it should be. And trying to stay below and behind a multi engined aircraft with a rear turret can also be quite a challenge. This game is a lot of fun, and it works you very hard to get a win, especially from behind if you get a bad start. If you take control of an area, its probably best to go to another area. The game will beat you in two out of three areas if ypu don't move around. Lots of fun!
I don't think you have anything to worry about in regards to War Thunder bringing in planes like the XP-77, mostly because the version in WoWP bears no resemblance to the actual aircraft, other than the looks and the name. The real XP-77 was a disaster. Forgetting bits that don't affect gameplay (like the engine unreliability, short range, the weak undercarriage, and the plane was annoyingly noisy in flight) the plane was all weaknesses and no strengths. It was slow (how slow? The top speed was 330 mph...the contemporary Mustang was more than 100 mph faster), poor climb rate, would have low hit points (made of wood), and only 2x .5 cal. mgs for weaponry (the 20 mm Hispano was removed from the design in 1941, before it was even approved). The engine didn't have a supercharger so it would be confined to lower altitudes. The plane was also unstable, with vibration problems from a poorly-mounted engine, a severe aileron flutter at various speeds, and was difficult to regain control in a spin (which destroyed one of the prototypes). The P-40 was superior to it in every way...and it first flew six years earlier. I know I'm posting a lot here, but I do like your commentary style...and am aware that an active comments section will get you more noticed by the algorithm. There are few people covering this game at all, and though I don't play it anymore, you still deserve some attention imo.
It is funny that the XP-77 is even in the game, let alone a premium. Historically it was an experiment to see if they could build interceptors with 'non-strategic materials' (i.e. wood). Long story short, they could not. It was a failure in every way. The project started in October 1941 and limped along until it was cancelled in 1944. The XP-77 is in the game but the production models of the iconic Wildcat and Corsair or any version of the Hellcat are not. Why?
@@thesnazzycomet The test versions are. That's what the 'x' stands for in the name of the XF4F-3 and XF4U-1. The 'x' is 'experimental'. So XF4F-3 means 'experimental 4th fighter design by Grumman variant 3' and 'XF4U-1' means 'experimental 4th fighter design by Vought variant 1'. The production models for the planes would be F4F-3 and F4U.
I was there for the first closed beta, and it was the worst testing experience I ever had. The devs were rude, insulting, and threatening and had zero interest in our opinions or experiences. War Gaming ignored the testers feedback and released a game that was simply bad. In my opinion, every change the devs made after release made the game worse. For someone like me that has been testing games since before the computer game industry existed, it was shocking. It was no surprise when the game crashed and burned on takeoff (pun intended). The game wasn't and still isn't successful. Is it a bad game? That is an opinion question, and it depends on what you enjoy. If you're looking for an aircraft battle game that's has some realism and is fast paced and challenging...then WoWP is bad. If you're looking for a very simple flight game where you can mostly ignore physics and it is very easy to do well, and that has mostly no realism at all...then WoWP is a good game. Sometimes you just want to mindlessly slaughter bots. There is nothing wrong with that. If you want more of a flight experience, you'll have to look elsewhere. I don't agree with your conclusions, but this was a well-made video, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'll check out your channel more later (we're getting a big snowstorm here in Pennsylvania, and I have to run out for supplies lol).
@@thesnazzycomet I personally like it, i just don't like the limits (planes falling apart from high speeds and Gs) of air rb, and I think it's more fun in general, but I respect your opinion.
I tried WarThunder for a number of weeks, then switched to WoWP. There are certain things I can say: + WT is way too realistic. I prefer more gamey video games. I hate playing WT tank mode because it's so annoying to have the crew members knocked out constantly. + WoWP is more generous economically than WT airplane. WT is so freaking stingy! + I really don't like having to fight against other players (or even play with them), so the current population of WoWP serves my wishes. I'm at Tier 5 right now and it still lacks human players. That's good. + Game modes in WT aircraft make no sense for anything other than fighters. + WoWP certainly hasn't been updated for a long time, because the number of planes is so bad. At least it has the Vought Pancake!
major problem is match making, and they know it so they have handed it over to discord to try and get out of trouble , or to be able to blame someone else
Dunno why the world shits on this game. It needs some love and a PROPER re-launch by WG. Aviation interest is WAY higher than tanks and ships and air shows are massively popular all over the world, why haven’t WG used this to buddy up the way they have with WoT and the Tank museum? Look, it’s not really possible to make this the team game that Tanks is, It’s been abandoned unfairly imo, but it surely has more interest than the incredibly dull Warships?!
It's a bit of a shame the devs aren't giving this as much love as WoT and WoW. I do believe there is a place for these casual, arcade flight games. Despite it's obvious flaws, I have childish fun playing this game, and I really think the PvP/AI mix works very well for these fast pace arcades. But there's tonnes of rooms for improvement, but it really feels like they've kinda given up on this, which is a big shame.
game has been much better before 2.0 update, now it is just nothing more than mobile-like crapy something. I'm personally joined the game on beta, and played before 2.0 was released. I didn't like changes, so i left
I dont compare this game to other plane games I compare it to Wot and WoWS and this game feels like crap when playing compared to both of those and was nothing but bots with mabe 3 players per match. which is why i quit playing and switched to warthunder for air battles while still playing WoT and WoWS. but I will give the game its got better game modes then warthunder
Imagine actually being able to play any of those planes, ohwait, no, you have to spend a month grinding just to get some old jet that's been out in someone's backyard, then spend another three months to get the modifications that World of Warplanes just gives you anyways.
Like I wanted to see what it was like cuz I play warthunder but in comparison it looks like a mobile game from 2015 I don’t want to judge it but its pretty bad But I will say in the mobile game market they dominate
After 10 years it still feels like an on-rails mobile game. Terrible.
