   I have played a lot of flight simulators and this one is the best. I can't wait to see how this game pans out after oculus rift comes out.I have played a lot of flight simulators and this one is the best. I can't wait to see how this game pans out after oculus rift comes out.
   
   I like to point out that people cry about how this game matches you up with higher tier planes/tanks (VERY RARELY), they don't understand that this game takes in BATTLERANKS of the vehicle, not the HARDCODED tier. This prevents players from using highest planes in Tier X vs the lowest planes in Tier X which helps balance significantly.
   
   Another thing I want to address is that there are also people crying about how a specific faction's guns are a bit weaker. Ex. 3 Cannons Japs vs 4 Cannons Fw190. Despite historical accuracy, this is a great balancing decision. Using the above example. Fw190 is an energy fighter which requires a complete different style to fly (aka boom and zoom), which means that the window of triggering is only a fraction of a second. On the other hand, Jap Zeros are turn fighters which means they will have more time on target, therefore slightly less fire power to even out the playing field.
   
   I rarely give games 10s but I think this game deserves every single score of mine. Developers are CONSTANTLY adding more features and new vehicles with World War Mode coming soon (Don't quote me). It is a mode where everyone fight in different threaters of wars which influences each other (i think, not many details are out).
   
   Keep up the GREAT work Gajin!!!
   
   Note: This game is by all means NOT a P2W, Strict battle rank system ensures you will rarely be out guned because panzer 2 vs Tiger 2. Progression is VERY reasonable.… Expand

   First off new players need to understand that this game is still updating in a major way. I've played this game since it was in early beta andFirst off new players need to understand that this game is still updating in a major way. I've played this game since it was in early beta and it was pretty decent back then. Buggy but playable, over the months the game as gotten far better in every way. Wait times are no longer 3 minutes but near 30 seconds in arcade mode, maybe 1 minute or so in realistic mode.
   
   As for gameplay the game is divided into multiple parts.
   Arcade mode for beginners or people that are casual.
   Realistic for the average player with limited respawns, realisitc controls and realistic damage.
   Simulator mode for the hardcore that know what they're really doing.
   
   Tank mode is also good but still very buggy. Same arcade, realistic and simulator mode applies for this.
   
   Pros:
   Very functional flight mode
   Great graphics for a free game
   Paid items that are not too over powered
   Updates come monthly or so
   
   Cons:
   Tank mode can be really buggy
   Community can be frustrating at times
   Introduction of cross console with PS4 really makes a bad feeling for both ends with their different controls and play styles… Expand

In many respects it's the best WWII Sim out there - by far. However it's run by one the biggest **** companies out there. Gaijin is interested in $$. They don't care about their player base and their support is absolutely appalling. Their matchmaking is a disaster and tanks are just frikken broken. Their servers are extremely limited and complete trash. Couple all that with an incredibly toxic player base (lots of cheating and exploits) and you have one very frustrating experience. I cannot recommend this game and would never recommend anyone play it.… Expand

   I wish i knew if this was a game or not. The bit torrent system took nearly an hour to install the base game through DSL & as soon as II wish i knew if this was a game or not. The bit torrent system took nearly an hour to install the base game through DSL & as soon as I started the game, it asked if I wanted to download better graphics. After an overnight torrent session, I still have 5 hours remaining. I really don't like an uncontrollable torrent client running on my PC, especially when it comes from an "ru" domain. Too many red flags (pun intended) in my mind. Uninstalled.… Expand
