I could bear WoT, since I used to play WoT blitz on my phone years ago before I went full WT. WoT was tolerable even today but World of Warplanes are just very, VERY bad. I can't bear playing this thing dropping millions of rounds on people and it's just basically a massive furball
@solreaver83 If that degree was 1, then sure. For WoT, the Steam Charts claim ~8k concurrent plyers, but in reality it's more like 210k (EU only). Going by this ratio, I'd estimate that WoWp has around 2500 concurrent players. Not great, but also not terrible.
Every few months I remember this game exists. Then I forget it. Also the WOT playerbase is somehow even more toxic then the War Thunder one, which is saying a lot.
The difference in player toxicity for war thunder players is really interesting how it usually develops by playtime: 0-100 hours, player is bad 100-500 player is bad and toxic 500-750 player gets better and stays toxic 750-1000 player gets good but stays toxic 1000+ player is no longer toxic, the snail must be fed and arguments take energy that could be spent on grinding
@@gnaruto7769 This has been exactly my experience, started out as a russian tank main, eventually got all the way to the top BRs including T-90M, but given the experience I gained during the long grind, I had a better time playing Italians (got up to 9.0) and now i'm having a really fun time playing germans at 7.7 after I got here recently. It's a game that rewards the frustration you feel if you play it long enough.
Used to play wot blitz and it felt like every other match some random kid started to rage dm me and send the most disgusting messages to make sure I would know I am the reason why our team lost or how I would surely lose a 1v1 against them in a rematch. Thankfully they removed the chat on that game but haven't played it since that change
@@adeidara9955 The teenage "sounds like a skill issue, bruh" edgelords are everywhere, regardless of game lol. Us old farts just sit back and enjoy the popcorn.
Tim Tim, you are gonna love this, there is premium ammo in this game, meaning that you can pay to do more damage. Not a complaint, just an observation btw.
Thats what I gathered based on comments I got on my WOT video, but I didn't see any obvious way to get any (I think it started my account with a small amount of premium currency?). Ah well, still had fun with the I-16.
Weather notification is squall line...its the point in the game when you can no longer respawn. Infinate ammo, there is an overheat mechanic on your guns...light machine guns do small damage, but can fire for a very long time before overheating.
I played the closed beta for WoWP way back when, played it for maybe two days, and then never saw a single thing about it until this video. That should tell you more than enough about this game.
I'm so happy to see one of my favorite wt youtubers giving wowp a go! here's some observations about things you may have asked: - no, wowp doesn't have air-to-air missiles, but some planes carry air-to-air rockets -the "neutral planes" are air defense aircraft. you must either destroy them or ground targets to cap -you can respawn as many times as you want, as long as it's not during the "heavy weather" you commented about in the last game -low tier is really easy to grind, so most human players are mostly stuck in higher tiers. -you can see if a player is a human by right clicking their name in the scoreboard. an option to add as a friend and see their profile will appear if it's a human -you can equip consumables in the "service" tab. It may be a distant dream but i would love to play some matches in a squad with you, if you want to learn more.
Sniper Mode is just extra zoom to see stuff better, your guns basically have auto-tracking when you have an enemy in your cursor so you don't need to do any proper leading. The Consumables in this game are extremely hidden, they're on the right hand side of the screen at the bottom of the info panel when you've selected a plane in the hanger. Ammo Belts are actually a consumable in this game but it's just a flat buff to your Crit and Fire chance so there's no real choices to be made. The Grey/White AI will attack you if you enter the area they're defending, you kill them to capture hat sector and start earning points. There's a few different ones like Factories, Radar Stations and Missile Sites which need bombers or ground attackers to capture fully by destroying AA emplacements and buildings. Factories give you a lot of points, Radar Stations call in bombers to attack enemy Caps and Missile Sites periodically launch a V2 Rocket at enemy Caps. There's also Airfields which can act as an extra respawn point or a place to heal depending on map. No ammo but guns overheat, the MGs not so much but cannons can overheat very quickly. Also no Air to Air missiles in this game, only rockets and bombs as loadout options. You can get Crits but nothing that insta-kills an enemy like a pilot snipe. You get engine, wing, airframe damage and pilot injuries which decrease performance and then you can set fires which just deal damage. If you hover your cursor over an enemy then you'll see some icons next to their name if they have Crits. Also there are respawns if you die but near the end of the match there's a storm which prevents them. It's basically just to give the team losing on points a chance to win Deathmatch style. Unfortunately there is no actual weather changes and this is just a mechanic that happens at the end of every match. It's a hell of a lot more chilled than WoT due to the smaller playerbase though, mostly bot matches which means it's pretty easy to just mindlessly grind. Even at Tier 10 you'll find mostly bot lobbies with full rewards. The players that do remain though tend to be very good and have pretty maxed builds with full equipment and premium consumables. The biggest draw to this game is just all the very unique and funky aircraft, the Americans get the XF5U Flying Pancake as a Tier 8 Heavy Fighter for example and it's tons of fun to flyout. The Grind does take a while though despite all the AI stomping you do.
My account is still active as well if you'd ever like someone to platoon up with for a second video. My account is pretty high tier and I have some Jets if you'd like to give it a try, we'd have to organise that though.
Wow. This game. I’ve been thinking of making an endeavor into content creation by making a video analyzing this game’s ABSOLUTELY CURSED vehicle additions and characteristics - maybe one day.
i think one of the core reasons "realistic" games appeals to people is the knowledge transfer -- that what you read or heard about a vehicle or gun etc in a book or show can be borne out by your own experiences ingame. thats why we have people on forums complaining if their war thunder fight experience doesnt seem to match their expectation ("why is my king tiger not invincible" sort of stuff). world of warplanes for better or worse puts its own brand of gameplay first. the roles matter much more than the nuances of individual plane performance. in fact, the planes more or less just feel like skins. the upside is that it creates a more coherent gamemode experience, but the downside is that for airplane enthusiasts, it comes at the cost of the original fantasy of why we want to experience the planes at all. this model is obviously less of an issue for people who know almost nothing about airplanes and so wouldnt have specific fantasies for particular airplanes, but the issue i think is that airplanes are already something so alien to most people that there are relatively fewer people who would stop at being merely "casually interested".
While I prefer the gameplay of war thunder I love the game mode of WOW, capturing bases by destroying units and dependig of the types of bases have different bonuses on the match, the effects of the flacks when you're doing a bombing run it's just out of a movie, the fact that you can respawn, the maps are beautiful. The gamemode it's just soooooooo much better that in WT. I love playing bombers in this game something that is so tedious in WT
I do find playing bombers is more fun in World of Warplanes than war thunder. Though I do like playing attack aircraft in war thunder and those feel a lot similar to the bombers in World of Warplanes in many respects. And I do agree that the maps are pretty in WoW. That is something they manage quite well in their games. The look of the maps. And in WoW I never really feel like I am getting a terrible map. That sometimes happens in War Thunder. One can have fun in both games. Of course, WoW is a bit more arcade like. Even compared to playing Arcade in War Thunder. I prefer War Thunder overall. But WoW have some good thing to it.
I was thinking, but didn't mention out loud, that I appreciated having that audio cue to indicate hits since if someone was playing on a smaller monitor the visual sparks would have been tiny.
The graphics and gameplay here remind me of how it felt to play crimson skies on the OG xbox, and how i remember its graphics looking having not played it for over 20 years now :P
Just for info, I-16 (early) in World of Warplanes is actually Type 4 model, first mass produced one with over 400 built. They were equipped with M-22 engine, compared to M-25 found on Type 5, and thus significantly slower than it.
When I played wowp it had a control scheme largely similar to WT full real controls with mouse and keyboard and I bounced off of it hard bc of it. Nice to see they switched to different controls
@Tim’s Variety I initially tried out this game during its closed alpha, when there was fierce competition between this game and World of Planes (which would be renamed into War Thunder). The alpha gameplay was a lot different to what it is now: AI largely didn’t exist, nor did 2+-seater aircraft types. Gameplay was a lot closer to World of Tanks, and you could critical things like tails or wings to destroy an enemy faster than their HP bar, but still nothing like instantly destroying a plane by pilot snipes or the like. At that time I was playing both this and War Thunder side-by-side, but ultimately I went with War Thunder due to the higher fidelity flight models. I picked this game back up a couple years ago to see what became of it, and saw it had become largely what you have reported here. It is fairly chill; you can mindlessly fly around and kill things in a way that isn’t possible in War Thunder due to infinite spawns (on a timer) compared to the ticket system or one-life systems that War Thunder uses. I doubt I will really actually go back for anything besides occasional nostaglia hits.
Honestly the graphics in Wargaming games are crisp. I definitely wouldve enjoyed this more than the game I played before WT. Heroes in the Sky, an oddity that doesnt come close to WoWP or WT. I havent sought out gameplay of WoWP since Jingles or someone else played it probably over half a decade ago so I appreciate the look at it.
That opening...haha. I always love a welcoming community of savages as well, what a way to build on new players coming in and staying. Btw, have you tried Nuclear Option? It's not quite like WT, but it's quite interesting.
As a longtime CSGO and world of tanks player, even dabbling in league of legends, I can safely say that the world of tanks community is the single most toxic online community I've ever been a part of.
in the service tab, u can add consumables and equipment when able to use, u see the health bars when your guns are in range, u will see bots more at lower tiers, how ever due to low numbers of ppl playing each battle is filled with ai bots, u can get up to 9 humans per side, the ai bots have 5 different skill levels, also theres a big amount of rng in the game to, u get to know when its for or against u in battles, u have unlimited ammo, guns do over heat n you will see the ammo box on the bottom left side turn red, rockets and bombs have a reload time, ada ( air defence aircraft ) are the planes that hang around the sectors n they have like a shield around the marker, unlike warthunder, warplanes is a pure arcade game instant action, u can easy progress through the tiers quickly, u can respawn a few times until the squall line time ends, after that u cant respawn, for new players the woman at the start is like a set of missions for you to learn the game n planes, n your rewarded for each mission you complete, its easy enough to understand after u play the game for a while, lots of things are easy to see n find, jus need to look n not skip past things thinking its something else, its all ez pz compared to warthunder, theres a few good vids showing how to play warplanes n how things work in the game, to make the map bigger u press the - & = keys, using keyboard n mouse the flaps etc are automatic, using a joystick u have more options, however lower tiers u can not extend flaps, depending on the plane,
I tried this for about a month before getting into WT. It was a cool fun way to get into plane combat as a new pc user then. Whenever i want funny physics i load into arcade in WT . I am thankful for this game being my foot into the avation gaming door
ok so how the tech tree works is, when you buy the plane, you get the stock version. Then you research modules that lead to planes or tanks your interested in. You can use free experience to add to the exp of a module or tank/plane to get it a bit quicker. Free EXP can be used anywhere any nation. So you could play Russiani planes and use free exp on british planes and get a top tier plane without ever playing a single game in that nation... Technically.
As someone who also has been playing War Thunder for over a decade, I'm surprised that the menu UI looks like War Thunder if it stagnated in 2012 or 2013. I never tried WOWP, but I figured that it would get more attention since WOT is so popular. Guess not!
I hear you like Starfires. I say we collaborate. Also WoWP doesnt do missile technology, probably a smart move cause it is horrible gameplay. Also about the bots, the bots are actually pretty smart regarding AI, especially towards the higher tier, where they feel like genuine players. They are even coded to talk in team chat!
Based of you to mentioned Luftwaffe 1946 manga, very underrated manga. There's my favorite where they strapped the turret of wirlberwind on the back of me 262 😂
I played only early beta of this game, ammo was unlimited, but you had an hud on the lower part of the screen with overheat meters for guns, engine, and amount of bombs/rockets, i see sniper mode have nice visuals, i know now wargaming puts low tier vehicles against bots only it tanks or smhtg so in planes probably too
Wowp is a game I lunch once a year, chilling on it. It's a casu and fun. I'm an avide War Thunder player ( + 11 years ) but I remember playing this game in 2015 / 16. Good memory, chill af game time to time.
The "weather" stuff you're talking about is the Squall Line. There is not actual changing weather in WoWP. It's an excuse for the game to stop respawns. Basically if you die you can respawn (if you have an airfield conquered you can even change plane) but when the squall line arrives everyone loses the ability to respawn. So you can either win by ressources or by killing everyone once the squall line has arrived.
why does the I-15 feel like its flying at 50mph? I saw the one comment a guy made about a weaker engine this is like 1/3rd of the speed WT flies at. You were circling the same town for minutes on end without flying too far from it 😅 Id love to see how slow the jets are 😂
wowp is pure pain below tier 5. from tier 5 and up the game experience is much better if you ever come back to playing wowp, here are a few tips: pressing s will slow you down, useful for turning in a smaller circle. also, in the top right corner of the screen, under the planes stats there is the pilot. you can level him up to get skill points to invest. the equipment and consumable menu is also right there. also, the storm in the battles indicate that you can no longer respawn. after the storm prevents that, you die permanently and its always worth investing 100k to get a 75% trained pilot. and you can do a life hack: if you train a pilot to, idk, 1 skill you choose, you can put him in a new plane and train him further. what i do when buying a new plane i dont plan to use for long, is not getting a pilot, but putting a pilot i already have in it, retrain him for the new plane for 100k, grind the modules and the extra progression on it to get the specialist configuration, sell the plane and go onto the next one, and repeat. this way as you progress and put the pilot into different planes and constantly retraining him, by tier 10 youll get a pretty good pilot unfortunately there are too few players at any time for a full battle. its always nice to see someone try the game out, i hope one day the game will grow enough tho have more players in the future
I do enjoy the content Wargaming puts out. It’s completely different from War Thunder. Is it realistic, no but that was never the intention, the intention was an easy to pick up game. In fact, Warships is probably the one game that I prefer over standard WT naval gameplay.
I tried WOWS as well (an IRL buddy got me to try it), and also preferred it over WT naval. No idea if I'll ever make a video with it, but WOWS was pretty fun.
They tried to save the game in 2017 with the 2.0 update but it only worked temporarily. Which is a shame. Honestly it's a fun little game. Not amazing but I think it has charm.
Take a shot every time Tim says : "That's not a complaint, but an observation" PS : I disagree with you about the Attacker in WT though. On it's tier, it is not bad. Very slow accelerating, but keeps its energy well.
Their maps look way better, way more interesting. War Thunder maps look like they're outsourced to India (remember the map with the concentration camp?).
Oh man I remember playing this game with a buddy back when we were big world of warships players. I dont think we saw more than 5 other real players. It seems like the only people who play this game stick to jet tier
I'll be damned Tim; I only (avidly) watch your WT content and the algorithm deigned to recommend this video on my homepage. I know you mention the other channels occasionally in WT videos but I'll admit to never seeking them out, subbed now though o7.
unlimited ammo is yes. but when they get to hot, they slow down and can't hit anything. Some guns have reloading times even bombs, but you will always get more. ...and crit hits are a thing, yes. not sure about a pilot snipe, but I think that is a yes, or you injure them, and they lose skills while injured.
I hope that we see some of the wacky paper and prototype planes like the Mirage G, Kingston P.1214 (Really go look that one up it looks like a star wars fighter), Ba 349 Natter, Triebflugel, McDonnel Model 60, Su-47 etc. in warthunder. It is a video game where Israeli Magachs can fight with German Maus tanks alongside soviet IS-3 and supported by a SU-8. The game already has unrealistic elements and things, why not embrace it. Plus this would make the tech trees more unique, as a counter to all the copy and paste tanks and planes that are flooding events and the tech trees. Think about it, the US didn't even use the RAH-66 after testing. They also didn't use the P-400, yet that is in the tech tree. The US never fielded the HSTV-L, or the 120S, or the MBT-70. Yet all of those are in the tech tree. Now all of those were built, and so was the RAH-66, but why should it stop at just prototypes? Not saying to go all in on them, but when Gaijin is planning to just copy paste something from the US, Soviets, or wherever, I think they should look more at Prototypes or Paper vehicles to add some spice and to really help make these tech trees unique. Doesn't even have to stop at vehicles, many nations have experimented with various missiles, rockets, and other munitions that would never see service.
I played a bunch when this first came out. Thanks for reminding me why i quit. Granted I quit WT too for completely different reasons, but that's another story.
Now I see why I've barely ever seen or heard about this game. Seems very... baren compared to Tanks and Warships. Honestly, this looks more like an original Xbox arcade game than a modern flight combat sim. Also, weird detail, but I don't know how to square away every plane in that tech tree having the exact same camo. An F-86 wearing Navy blue and early-war roundels is odd to say the least.
@@vertik7 Oh, I'm sure. I've seen plenty of different ones. Just remarking on how weird it is to see something like a Sabre in Navy blue, instead of that classic bare metal. Not quite like the proposed Navy variant either, the FJ-2. More like a WWII pattern.
@@timsvarietygaming Here, in WoWP it's average. Since WoWP 2.0 came out, I-16 became a multi-role with rockets and was nerfed. But still, I-16 early has powerful guns, but no flaps, many planes are more maneuverable and faster. So, at tier 3, I like Ki-27 and F3F. But tier 3 is not that good, cause you can't get tokens for medals there, so people usually move to tier 4, and at tier 4, I-17 is a better plane (a prototype) than I-16 late. And tokens are important, even premium account and hangar slots can be bought with them.
hey tim almost forgot you can likely get a press account from wargaming (might need to email them) this pretty much completes the game for you for 30 days or so, everything is unlocked, purchased and all of the crew maxed out with an insane amount of gold and credits as well. might be something to look into so you can test out the more unknown aircrafts like the f94 as for the ammo it is unlimited however the higher you go up weapons start having cooldowns, so the bigger and better a gun is, the less time you got until you hit the cooldown clock, thats where the skill enters the game, youre trying to track the target as best as you can while using your ammo as efficiently as possible. after all this is an arcade game and it would suck completely to run out of ammo midway through a fight and needing to flee. infact it also sucks in wt as well.
@TimsVariety they might, wargaming is pretty lax and open with their press accounts. Think Russian badger got a press account with wot and he only made two videos that were like 3 years apart. For wargaming a press account doesn't require anything from them and only brings people towards their games. So even if they see something a little as 10 people that's 10 more then they would've seen if they didn't give you the press account
Just wanted to add something about WoT; the new user experience is horrible. Coming from someone with no experience to the game, when I first played it I had no idea what I was doing because there is basicaly no tutorial when it comes to interface or actually learning how to be a good player. Some major figures in the WoT community, as I have come to figure out, agree with me.
The Wargaming World of Tanks/Planes/Warships all feel like they are games from a different era to War Thunder in every way. Or for an easier analogy War Thunder is Overwatch (or whatever the top hero shooter shit these days is) and World of Meh is Concord.
What? Tim? Playing in World of Warplanes?....Let's Watch...GO TIM. Another game that is not almost like War Thunder or World of Warplanes is called Metalstorm which is pretty decent but also very arcade mode it's gameplay
Fun fact about the guy who said WOT requires skill as a former player myself he's way wrong to the point it would hurt his brain to even attempt WT cause he will drive out like a bat outta hell thinking that he'll spot the entire enemy team only to get smoked with a single hit and then have the audacity to say the games shite but he suffers WOT syndrome kinda like AIM and click bait players
WoWP is very fun game. The interface is easy, people already explained here, that Service tab is important - you add consumables (fire extinguisher, different ammo - universal, gold they do more damage and/or fire chance) and equipment (better boost, speed, maneuverability) there. Upgrade tab - to research plane modules to upgrade a plane modules (guns, engines, airframe) and to progress to the next plane. Paint Shop - to paint your plane, paint has affect on the plane - it's not a cosmetic thing, it can reduce the damage of the enemy, made you less detectable or faster. Crew - a pilot with 100% and many skills is really important, there are premium pilots exist. Zoom does not affect damage, but makes easier to aim, and there are critical hits. There are unlimited ammo, but guns can overheat, the bigger the gun - the faster the overheat. Squall Line has nothing to do with weather - just no re-spawning anymore, the game is ending. There are no guided missiles in WoWP, some planes like F-94D and BVP210 have lots of small unguided Air to Air missiles. Other planes (like P-47s, I-16 or F4U Corsairs) have Air to Ground missiles, but it's possible to hit planes with them with some skills. To get a jet plane fast, buy a Gloster Meteor tier 7 (or other more expensive premium planes, like Me-109TL or P80 in tier 8) for gold or real money. De Havilland Vampire tier 8 is actually better and free, but to get it you need to pass missions and/or get tokens (you get them for medals or daily missions). Or to get a jet just fly and go through the trees, with premium account is faster of course. Some countries get jets at tier 8, but mostly at tier 9. Jets do fly faster and stall at higher speed usually, but it's still the same game mechanics - there are no guided missiles, radars or magic. But F-94D gets a Vulcan cannon and it's great. And about bots, there are very strong bots exist, the higher the tier the stronger they are. So, if you want better jets, I recommend Ace Combat 7, there are modern jets with guided missiles (about 80-100 missiles per plane, depending on difficulty), but it's not a free game and a controller is needed to play it effectively or a specific compatible joystick.
@timsvarietygaming I'd have to agree. I was mainly joking about the swarms of airplanes in some higher tier matches. 2xCV plus 3-4 hybrid and you're swamped.
Played WoT forever and never really got in to WT that much, but you can absolutely criticise a lot of WG decisions, particularly in regards to WoWP (which is essentially abandoned, it doesn't have anywhere near the support of Tanks or Warships). God knows we love to criticise the BS that Wargaming get up to...
jokes aside, i feel like World of Warships is somewhat more playable than War Thunder's naval. its less realistic & gimmicky, but honestly, its probably the best world of things game out of the 3.
Since RU server closed and many accounts were transferred to EU server there are lots of people there. NA server has less players, but during events people play more.
So the game starts off around 1920, but it is kind of annoying. All pre-30s planes suck. Your engines are terrible. You cannot fly fast, or gain altitude quickly. Once you reach tier IV or V, plan roles start to become more pronounced. I myself favor twin-engine high altitude aircraft. My tip, master air-breaks and remember certain aircraft perform better at certain altitudes. Yes, you can injure crew men, engine's, wing's, flaps and stabs... Et cetera. The better trained your piolet and or crew, the better you can operate your craft.
I'm a simple man.
I see WarThunder player passive-agressively dunk on WordOfWarplanes/Tanks, I smile.
Very true
I could bear WoT, since I used to play WoT blitz on my phone years ago before I went full WT. WoT was tolerable even today but World of Warplanes are just very, VERY bad. I can't bear playing this thing dropping millions of rounds on people and it's just basically a massive furball
Game is averaging about 110 players on steam a month
damn.
I think most people play it outside of Steam, as you can't easily link your existent account to it.
@@sabreson2551 true but it's still a representation of the overall player base to a degree.
@solreaver83 If that degree was 1, then sure. For WoT, the Steam Charts claim ~8k concurrent plyers, but in reality it's more like 210k (EU only).
Going by this ratio, I'd estimate that WoWp has around 2500 concurrent players. Not great, but also not terrible.
@pirig-gal that's in a month's play. That's around 1% of what war thunder can have at any one time by comparison.
Every few months I remember this game exists. Then I forget it.
Also the WOT playerbase is somehow even more toxic then the War Thunder one, which is saying a lot.
The difference in player toxicity for war thunder players is really interesting how it usually develops by playtime:
0-100 hours, player is bad
100-500 player is bad and toxic
500-750 player gets better and stays toxic
750-1000 player gets good but stays toxic
1000+ player is no longer toxic, the snail must be fed and arguments take energy that could be spent on grinding

Thats what I gathered based on comments I got on my WOT video, but I didn't see any obvious way to get any (I think it started my account with a small amount of premium currency?). Ah well, still had fun with the I-16.
we just use universal ammo tho. premium ammo is not that better than universal.
@@timsvarietygamingIn WoT you can pay a higher credit price to use an alternative with more pen. In WoTB its the same but they deal less damage
nice one with "Not a complaint"))
Weather notification is squall line...its the point in the game when you can no longer respawn. Infinate ammo, there is an overheat mechanic on your guns...light machine guns do small damage, but can fire for a very long time before overheating.
Gonna take a shot after each time I hear 'it's not a criticism, it's an observation' and I might end up being willing to try WoWP
It's nice the entire world of war planes community came out to watch this
Both of them 🤣🤣🤣
you wont geht much bad comments by the WoWp community, there are not much players anyway xD
I played the closed beta for WoWP way back when, played it for maybe two days, and then never saw a single thing about it until this video. That should tell you more than enough about this game.
I thought it had shut down a year or two after beta... Guess not? Was a beta player too and barely played it.
I've played WoWs for the last few years and I didn't know it existed until a week or so ago when it popped up on steam
I'm so happy to see one of my favorite wt youtubers giving wowp a go! here's some observations about things you may have asked:
- no, wowp doesn't have air-to-air missiles, but some planes carry air-to-air rockets
-the "neutral planes" are air defense aircraft. you must either destroy them or ground targets to cap
-you can respawn as many times as you want, as long as it's not during the "heavy weather" you commented about in the last game
-low tier is really easy to grind, so most human players are mostly stuck in higher tiers.
-you can see if a player is a human by right clicking their name in the scoreboard. an option to add as a friend and see their profile will appear if it's a human
-you can equip consumables in the "service" tab.
It may be a distant dream but i would love to play some matches in a squad with you, if you want to learn more.
hold up and actually wowp this is like a unicorn sighting
Sniper Mode is just extra zoom to see stuff better, your guns basically have auto-tracking when you have an enemy in your cursor so you don't need to do any proper leading.
The Consumables in this game are extremely hidden, they're on the right hand side of the screen at the bottom of the info panel when you've selected a plane in the hanger. Ammo Belts are actually a consumable in this game but it's just a flat buff to your Crit and Fire chance so there's no real choices to be made.
The Grey/White AI will attack you if you enter the area they're defending, you kill them to capture hat sector and start earning points. There's a few different ones like Factories, Radar Stations and Missile Sites which need bombers or ground attackers to capture fully by destroying AA emplacements and buildings. Factories give you a lot of points, Radar Stations call in bombers to attack enemy Caps and Missile Sites periodically launch a V2 Rocket at enemy Caps. There's also Airfields which can act as an extra respawn point or a place to heal depending on map.
No ammo but guns overheat, the MGs not so much but cannons can overheat very quickly. Also no Air to Air missiles in this game, only rockets and bombs as loadout options.
You can get Crits but nothing that insta-kills an enemy like a pilot snipe. You get engine, wing, airframe damage and pilot injuries which decrease performance and then you can set fires which just deal damage. If you hover your cursor over an enemy then you'll see some icons next to their name if they have Crits.
Also there are respawns if you die but near the end of the match there's a storm which prevents them. It's basically just to give the team losing on points a chance to win Deathmatch style. Unfortunately there is no actual weather changes and this is just a mechanic that happens at the end of every match.
It's a hell of a lot more chilled than WoT due to the smaller playerbase though, mostly bot matches which means it's pretty easy to just mindlessly grind. Even at Tier 10 you'll find mostly bot lobbies with full rewards. The players that do remain though tend to be very good and have pretty maxed builds with full equipment and premium consumables.
The biggest draw to this game is just all the very unique and funky aircraft, the Americans get the XF5U Flying Pancake as a Tier 8 Heavy Fighter for example and it's tons of fun to flyout. The Grind does take a while though despite all the AI stomping you do.
My account is still active as well if you'd ever like someone to platoon up with for a second video. My account is pretty high tier and I have some Jets if you'd like to give it a try, we'd have to organise that though.

@@TimsVariety but thats just an observation, not a criticism ;)
Wow. This game. I’ve been thinking of making an endeavor into content creation by making a video analyzing this game’s ABSOLUTELY CURSED vehicle additions and characteristics - maybe one day.
Be the change you wish to see on the Tube
This game is like if your dad bought you the wrong game for the PS2 but you still decided to play it
i think one of the core reasons "realistic" games appeals to people is the knowledge transfer -- that what you read or heard about a vehicle or gun etc in a book or show can be borne out by your own experiences ingame. thats why we have people on forums complaining if their war thunder fight experience doesnt seem to match their expectation ("why is my king tiger not invincible" sort of stuff). world of warplanes for better or worse puts its own brand of gameplay first. the roles matter much more than the nuances of individual plane performance. in fact, the planes more or less just feel like skins. the upside is that it creates a more coherent gamemode experience, but the downside is that for airplane enthusiasts, it comes at the cost of the original fantasy of why we want to experience the planes at all. this model is obviously less of an issue for people who know almost nothing about airplanes and so wouldnt have specific fantasies for particular airplanes, but the issue i think is that airplanes are already something so alien to most people that there are relatively fewer people who would stop at being merely "casually interested".
Never thought I would see a mobile game on this channel.
While I prefer the gameplay of war thunder I love the game mode of WOW, capturing bases by destroying units and dependig of the types of bases have different bonuses on the match, the effects of the flacks when you're doing a bombing run it's just out of a movie, the fact that you can respawn, the maps are beautiful. The gamemode it's just soooooooo much better that in WT. I love playing bombers in this game something that is so tedious in WT
I do find playing bombers is more fun in World of Warplanes than war thunder. Though I do like playing attack aircraft in war thunder and those feel a lot similar to the bombers in World of Warplanes in many respects. And I do agree that the maps are pretty in WoW. That is something they manage quite well in their games. The look of the maps. And in WoW I never really feel like I am getting a terrible map. That sometimes happens in War Thunder.
One can have fun in both games. Of course, WoW is a bit more arcade like. Even compared to playing Arcade in War Thunder. I prefer War Thunder overall. But WoW have some good thing to it.
It took me all video to realize the sounds of hitting an enemy plane weren't just the MG sounds, bloody hell...
I was thinking, but didn't mention out loud, that I appreciated having that audio cue to indicate hits since if someone was playing on a smaller monitor the visual sparks would have been tiny.
The graphics and gameplay here remind me of how it felt to play crimson skies on the OG xbox, and how i remember its graphics looking having not played it for over 20 years now :P
Just for info, I-16 (early) in World of Warplanes is actually Type 4 model, first mass produced one with over 400 built. They were equipped with M-22 engine, compared to M-25 found on Type 5, and thus significantly slower than it.
When I played wowp it had a control scheme largely similar to WT full real controls with mouse and keyboard and I bounced off of it hard bc of it. Nice to see they switched to different controls
As a long time and long suffering sub of the many Tim's channels... I would actually enjoy watching more of this mixed in with the usual Snail Mail.
@Tim’s Variety I initially tried out this game during its closed alpha, when there was fierce competition between this game and World of Planes (which would be renamed into War Thunder).
The alpha gameplay was a lot different to what it is now: AI largely didn’t exist, nor did 2+-seater aircraft types. Gameplay was a lot closer to World of Tanks, and you could critical things like tails or wings to destroy an enemy faster than their HP bar, but still nothing like instantly destroying a plane by pilot snipes or the like.
At that time I was playing both this and War Thunder side-by-side, but ultimately I went with War Thunder due to the higher fidelity flight models.
I picked this game back up a couple years ago to see what became of it, and saw it had become largely what you have reported here. It is fairly chill; you can mindlessly fly around and kill things in a way that isn’t possible in War Thunder due to infinite spawns (on a timer) compared to the ticket system or one-life systems that War Thunder uses.
I doubt I will really actually go back for anything besides occasional nostaglia hits.
Honestly the graphics in Wargaming games are crisp. I definitely wouldve enjoyed this more than the game I played before WT. Heroes in the Sky, an oddity that doesnt come close to WoWP or WT.
I havent sought out gameplay of WoWP since Jingles or someone else played it probably over half a decade ago so I appreciate the look at it.
oh my god, you just unearthed repressed memories with Heroes in the Sky. I haven't thought about that game in years...
@ReynTime477 I felt like I'm the only person to ever play it LOL glad I wasn't alone.
That opening...haha. I always love a welcoming community of savages as well, what a way to build on new players coming in and staying.
Btw, have you tried Nuclear Option? It's not quite like WT, but it's quite interesting.
I haven't, will make a note to look it up.
@@timsvarietygaming Definitely do, recently started playing it myself, its certainly got its flaws but its a fun Simcade experience
I dont know why you hot so many friendly comments in the Last Video with WOT. I mean it was yours first time after all.
Great video keep it up :)
As a longtime CSGO and world of tanks player, even dabbling in league of legends, I can safely say that the world of tanks community is the single most toxic online community I've ever been a part of.
Warm Reception: 😂😂
I've said world of warthunder quite a lot 😂
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one making that mistake lol
It was inevitable, and I'm surprised it didn't happen MORE.
in the service tab, u can add consumables and equipment when able to use, u see the health bars when your guns are in range, u will see bots more at lower tiers, how ever due to low numbers of ppl playing each battle is filled with ai bots, u can get up to 9 humans per side, the ai bots have 5 different skill levels, also theres a big amount of rng in the game to, u get to know when its for or against u in battles, u have unlimited ammo, guns do over heat n you will see the ammo box on the bottom left side turn red, rockets and bombs have a reload time, ada ( air defence aircraft ) are the planes that hang around the sectors n they have like a shield around the marker, unlike warthunder, warplanes is a pure arcade game instant action, u can easy progress through the tiers quickly, u can respawn a few times until the squall line time ends, after that u cant respawn, for new players the woman at the start is like a set of missions for you to learn the game n planes, n your rewarded for each mission you complete, its easy enough to understand after u play the game for a while, lots of things are easy to see n find, jus need to look n not skip past things thinking its something else, its all ez pz compared to warthunder, theres a few good vids showing how to play warplanes n how things work in the game, to make the map bigger u press the - & = keys, using keyboard n mouse the flaps etc are automatic, using a joystick u have more options, however lower tiers u can not extend flaps, depending on the plane,
if u want to fly jets n other planes, u can ask wg for a press account for warplanes,
@@Pauls_Hi-Jinks I thought about that, but they probably wouldnt give me one just for 1 or 2 videos.
As someone who actually likes WOWP, I find this interesting
It wasn't bad and I'm sure its got a community.
I tried this for about a month before getting into WT. It was a cool fun way to get into plane combat as a new pc user then. Whenever i want funny physics i load into arcade in WT . I am thankful for this game being my foot into the avation gaming door
Btw, haters gonna hate. I enjoy your content and personality during videos. Stay positive and have fun, Cheers! (Here from WarThunder too)
ok so how the tech tree works is, when you buy the plane, you get the stock version. Then you research modules that lead to planes or tanks your interested in. You can use free experience to add to the exp of a module or tank/plane to get it a bit quicker. Free EXP can be used anywhere any nation. So you could play Russiani planes and use free exp on british planes and get a top tier plane without ever playing a single game in that nation... Technically.
I never knew that warplanes even exsisted. I even thought why doesnt world of warships, world of tanks, have a warplanes lol
As someone who also has been playing War Thunder for over a decade, I'm surprised that the menu UI looks like War Thunder if it stagnated in 2012 or 2013. I never tried WOWP, but I figured that it would get more attention since WOT is so popular. Guess not!
I hear you like Starfires. I say we collaborate.
Also WoWP doesnt do missile technology, probably a smart move cause it is horrible gameplay. Also about the bots, the bots are actually pretty smart regarding AI, especially towards the higher tier, where they feel like genuine players. They are even coded to talk in team chat!
Based of you to mentioned Luftwaffe 1946 manga, very underrated manga.
There's my favorite where they strapped the turret of wirlberwind on the back of me 262 😂
I played only early beta of this game, ammo was unlimited, but you had an hud on the lower part of the screen with overheat meters for guns, engine, and amount of bombs/rockets, i see sniper mode have nice visuals, i know now wargaming puts low tier vehicles against bots only it tanks or smhtg so in planes probably too
People expecting when first time playing war game games and expecting advance system is always fun to see XD
I remember playing this game in like 2013. I then picked up warthunder in 2014.
Wowp is a game I lunch once a year, chilling on it. It's a casu and fun. I'm an avide War Thunder player ( + 11 years ) but I remember playing this game in 2015 / 16. Good memory, chill af game time to time.
The "weather" stuff you're talking about is the Squall Line. There is not actual changing weather in WoWP. It's an excuse for the game to stop respawns. Basically if you die you can respawn (if you have an airfield conquered you can even change plane) but when the squall line arrives everyone loses the ability to respawn. So you can either win by ressources or by killing everyone once the squall line has arrived.
why does the I-15 feel like its flying at 50mph? I saw the one comment a guy made about a weaker engine this is like 1/3rd of the speed WT flies at.
You were circling the same town for minutes on end without flying too far from it 😅 Id love to see how slow the jets are 😂
The speed and distances did feel a little odd, but I didn't give it much thought.
This was a surprise post!
wowp is pure pain below tier 5. from tier 5 and up the game experience is much better
if you ever come back to playing wowp, here are a few tips: pressing s will slow you down, useful for turning in a smaller circle. also, in the top right corner of the screen, under the planes stats there is the pilot. you can level him up to get skill points to invest. the equipment and consumable menu is also right there.
also, the storm in the battles indicate that you can no longer respawn. after the storm prevents that, you die permanently
and its always worth investing 100k to get a 75% trained pilot. and you can do a life hack: if you train a pilot to, idk, 1 skill you choose, you can put him in a new plane and train him further. what i do when buying a new plane i dont plan to use for long, is not getting a pilot, but putting a pilot i already have in it, retrain him for the new plane for 100k, grind the modules and the extra progression on it to get the specialist configuration, sell the plane and go onto the next one, and repeat. this way as you progress and put the pilot into different planes and constantly retraining him, by tier 10 youll get a pretty good pilot
unfortunately there are too few players at any time for a full battle. its always nice to see someone try the game out, i hope one day the game will grow enough tho have more players in the future
3:48 @Snazzy STARFIREEEEEEEEEEE
I do enjoy the content Wargaming puts out. It’s completely different from War Thunder. Is it realistic, no but that was never the intention, the intention was an easy to pick up game.
In fact, Warships is probably the one game that I prefer over standard WT naval gameplay.
I tried WOWS as well (an IRL buddy got me to try it), and also preferred it over WT naval. No idea if I'll ever make a video with it, but WOWS was pretty fun.
They tried to save the game in 2017 with the 2.0 update but it only worked temporarily. Which is a shame. Honestly it's a fun little game. Not amazing but I think it has charm.
Take a shot every time Tim says : "That's not a complaint, but an observation"
PS : I disagree with you about the Attacker in WT though. On it's tier, it is not bad. Very slow accelerating, but keeps its energy well.
Their maps look way better, way more interesting.
War Thunder maps look like they're outsourced to India (remember the map with the concentration camp?).
Oh man I remember playing this game with a buddy back when we were big world of warships players. I dont think we saw more than 5 other real players. It seems like the only people who play this game stick to jet tier
We gotta get a lot of these aircraft in warthunder
I'll be damned Tim; I only (avidly) watch your WT content and the algorithm deigned to recommend this video on my homepage. I know you mention the other channels occasionally in WT videos but I'll admit to never seeking them out, subbed now though o7.
I haven't been super active on my side channels for the last year (dayjob time pressures etc), but I still post when I can. :-)
I'm surprised this game still exists
Wow, this game still exist
unlimited ammo is yes. but when they get to hot, they slow down and can't hit anything. Some guns have reloading times even bombs, but you will always get more. ...and crit hits are a thing, yes. not sure about a pilot snipe, but I think that is a yes, or you injure them, and they lose skills while injured.
I hope that we see some of the wacky paper and prototype planes like the Mirage G, Kingston P.1214 (Really go look that one up it looks like a star wars fighter), Ba 349 Natter, Triebflugel, McDonnel Model 60, Su-47 etc. in warthunder.
It is a video game where Israeli Magachs can fight with German Maus tanks alongside soviet IS-3 and supported by a SU-8. The game already has unrealistic elements and things, why not embrace it. Plus this would make the tech trees more unique, as a counter to all the copy and paste tanks and planes that are flooding events and the tech trees.
Think about it, the US didn't even use the RAH-66 after testing. They also didn't use the P-400, yet that is in the tech tree. The US never fielded the HSTV-L, or the 120S, or the MBT-70. Yet all of those are in the tech tree. Now all of those were built, and so was the RAH-66, but why should it stop at just prototypes? Not saying to go all in on them, but when Gaijin is planning to just copy paste something from the US, Soviets, or wherever, I think they should look more at Prototypes or Paper vehicles to add some spice and to really help make these tech trees unique. Doesn't even have to stop at vehicles, many nations have experimented with various missiles, rockets, and other munitions that would never see service.
There is an obvious food chain from mil sims, to dcs, to il2 to warthunder, to ace combat, to whatever this is?
I played a bunch when this first came out. Thanks for reminding me why i quit. Granted I quit WT too for completely different reasons, but that's another story.
Now I see why I've barely ever seen or heard about this game. Seems very... baren compared to Tanks and Warships. Honestly, this looks more like an original Xbox arcade game than a modern flight combat sim.
Also, weird detail, but I don't know how to square away every plane in that tech tree having the exact same camo. An F-86 wearing Navy blue and early-war roundels is odd to say the least.
If you don't like default paint, you can buy different paints in paint shop for credits or gold.
@@vertik7 Oh, I'm sure. I've seen plenty of different ones. Just remarking on how weird it is to see something like a Sabre in Navy blue, instead of that classic bare metal. Not quite like the proposed Navy variant either, the FJ-2. More like a WWII pattern.
Thank God the editors let him post
They were looking over my shoulder, pulling my strings the entire time. Thankfully nobody knows the mysterious editors secretly control me yet.....
I think I will be sticking to WT. I had a feeling it was pretty “arcadey”, I enjoy the amount of vehicles in WT and the sim style experience.
So where is the skill in this game? War Thunders arcade mode looks like a simulator by comparison.
this made me wanna play the i 16..thank you
I-16 is so damned good in WT!
I can't speak to it here, just from my limited experience, but I had fun with it.
@@timsvarietygaming Here, in WoWP it's average. Since WoWP 2.0 came out, I-16 became a multi-role with rockets and was nerfed. But still, I-16 early has powerful guns, but no flaps, many planes are more maneuverable and faster. So, at tier 3, I like Ki-27 and F3F. But tier 3 is not that good, cause you can't get tokens for medals there, so people usually move to tier 4, and at tier 4, I-17 is a better plane (a prototype) than I-16 late. And tokens are important, even premium account and hangar slots can be bought with them.
hey tim almost forgot you can likely get a press account from wargaming (might need to email them) this pretty much completes the game for you for 30 days or so, everything is unlocked, purchased and all of the crew maxed out with an insane amount of gold and credits as well. might be something to look into so you can test out the more unknown aircrafts like the f94
as for the ammo it is unlimited however the higher you go up weapons start having cooldowns, so the bigger and better a gun is, the less time you got until you hit the cooldown clock, thats where the skill enters the game, youre trying to track the target as best as you can while using your ammo as efficiently as possible. after all this is an arcade game and it would suck completely to run out of ammo midway through a fight and needing to flee. infact it also sucks in wt as well.
I considered asking, but I'm not sure they'd give me a press account just for 1 or 2 vids.
@TimsVariety they might, wargaming is pretty lax and open with their press accounts. Think Russian badger got a press account with wot and he only made two videos that were like 3 years apart. For wargaming a press account doesn't require anything from them and only brings people towards their games. So even if they see something a little as 10 people that's 10 more then they would've seen if they didn't give you the press account
How is World Of Warplanes still alive?
I wish this game was good because I want the concept planes so bad
Just wanted to add something about WoT; the new user experience is horrible. Coming from someone with no experience to the game, when I first played it I had no idea what I was doing because there is basicaly no tutorial when it comes to interface or actually learning how to be a good player. Some major figures in the WoT community, as I have come to figure out, agree with me.
You had a gaming channel?
Several!
Not a fan of World Of Warplanes, but I think the maps look very good.
World of warship to end?
Even on higher tiers you still play vs bots and few players.
The Wargaming World of Tanks/Planes/Warships all feel like they are games from a different era to War Thunder in every way.
Or for an easier analogy War Thunder is Overwatch (or whatever the top hero shooter shit these days is) and World of Meh is Concord.
except warships is literally better than WT naval..
You should try Armored Warfare. Might enjoy more modern tanks :)
What? Tim? Playing in World of Warplanes?....Let's Watch...GO TIM. Another game that is not almost like War Thunder or World of Warplanes is called Metalstorm which is pretty decent but also very arcade mode it's gameplay
I used to play WoT now I play WT I miss WoT
So Tim, was this video a complaint, or just an observation?
Fun fact about the guy who said WOT requires skill as a former player myself he's way wrong to the point it would hurt his brain to even attempt WT cause he will drive out like a bat outta hell thinking that he'll spot the entire enemy team only to get smoked with a single hit and then have the audacity to say the games shite but he suffers WOT syndrome kinda like AIM and click bait players
I left that game cause it was garbage I don't want to start listing stuff but let's just say there's 20+ reasons it's bad
WoWP is very fun game. The interface is easy, people already explained here, that Service tab is important - you add consumables (fire extinguisher, different ammo - universal, gold they do more damage and/or fire chance) and equipment (better boost, speed, maneuverability) there. Upgrade tab - to research plane modules to upgrade a plane modules (guns, engines, airframe) and to progress to the next plane. Paint Shop - to paint your plane, paint has affect on the plane - it's not a cosmetic thing, it can reduce the damage of the enemy, made you less detectable or faster. Crew - a pilot with 100% and many skills is really important, there are premium pilots exist. Zoom does not affect damage, but makes easier to aim, and there are critical hits. There are unlimited ammo, but guns can overheat, the bigger the gun - the faster the overheat. Squall Line has nothing to do with weather - just no re-spawning anymore, the game is ending. There are no guided missiles in WoWP, some planes like F-94D and BVP210 have lots of small unguided Air to Air missiles. Other planes (like P-47s, I-16 or F4U Corsairs) have Air to Ground missiles, but it's possible to hit planes with them with some skills. To get a jet plane fast, buy a Gloster Meteor tier 7 (or other more expensive premium planes, like Me-109TL or P80 in tier 8) for gold or real money. De Havilland Vampire tier 8 is actually better and free, but to get it you need to pass missions and/or get tokens (you get them for medals or daily missions). Or to get a jet just fly and go through the trees, with premium account is faster of course. Some countries get jets at tier 8, but mostly at tier 9.
Jets do fly faster and stall at higher speed usually, but it's still the same game mechanics - there are no guided missiles, radars or magic. But F-94D gets a Vulcan cannon and it's great. And about bots, there are very strong bots exist, the higher the tier the stronger they are. So, if you want better jets, I recommend Ace Combat 7, there are modern jets with guided missiles (about 80-100 missiles per plane, depending on difficulty), but it's not a free game and a controller is needed to play it effectively or a specific compatible joystick.
This game was hobbling along back in 2015-2015. Amazing they keep it running.
Arguably Wargamings biggest fail.
I think it wouldn't fail if WT didn't exist tbh
@b-17gflyingfortress6 That's no argument at all then.
Feels like a mobile game
If you want the real world of warplanes experience, play world of warships.
I have, actually - it was pretty good. I actually preferred it to WT's naval battles.
@timsvarietygaming I'd have to agree. I was mainly joking about the swarms of airplanes in some higher tier matches. 2xCV plus 3-4 hybrid and you're swamped.
Played WoT forever and never really got in to WT that much, but you can absolutely criticise a lot of WG decisions, particularly in regards to WoWP (which is essentially abandoned, it doesn't have anywhere near the support of Tanks or Warships). God knows we love to criticise the BS that Wargaming get up to...
Next is World of Warships?????
jokes aside, i feel like World of Warships is somewhat more playable than War Thunder's naval.
its less realistic & gimmicky, but honestly, its probably the best world of things game out of the 3.
I've played WOWS and actually liked it quite a bit. If I ever do a vid, it wont be a "first time".
Mf said "Wot requires skill" 💀
all video about "not a complaint, just an observation" ))
Why is there so much schmutz on the edges of the screen
play armored warfare
World of Tanks is the glue eating Overwatch knockoff of Warthunder lol
World of warplanes server are still open?? 😂
did i just witness a youtube comeback? Tim i dont know who you are but its nice that you uploaded again!
This is one of my side-channels, I haven't had a lot of time for non-warthunder uploads for a while. My warthunder channel uploads weekly though.
People still play world of warplanes?
I did encounter at least ONE real player during my 3 matches! :-)
Since RU server closed and many accounts were transferred to EU server there are lots of people there. NA server has less players, but during events people play more.
Wait, world of warplanes still lives? 😂
I may have doubled the concurrent player count when I logged in.
WoWP still exists? Man Wargaming must be desperate for anything...
>wot requires skill
laffin
Play world of warships next
I have, I enjoyed it quite a bit - more than WT naval battles, honestly. I may do a vid with it, but it wouldn't be a "first time".
So the game starts off around 1920, but it is kind of annoying. All pre-30s planes suck. Your engines are terrible. You cannot fly fast, or gain altitude quickly. Once you reach tier IV or V, plan roles start to become more pronounced. I myself favor twin-engine high altitude aircraft. My tip, master air-breaks and remember certain aircraft perform better at certain altitudes. Yes, you can injure crew men, engine's, wing's, flaps and stabs... Et cetera. The better trained your piolet and or crew, the better you can operate your craft.
The sounds, the controls, the visuals. Disgusting..
