   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

   Visuals are great. Aircraft modelling is good. Handling of the aircraft is realistic enough to present challenges, but not so complex to be unmanageable for a new player.
   
   The historical aspect of the game is sadly lacking. When one hears the term "realistic battles" one expects to see aircraft operating in their specific theatres against their historical opponents. Realism is not Japanese and German planes flying side by side over European maps, or facing Russians in your Spitfire or indeed "mixed" battles with all nations side by side. There is a specific, simplified mode for this type of battle in the game, "Arcade mode" yet it seems arcade mode has crept into the realistic and is there to stay.
   
   Team balance, seems to be a major issue. I play all factions with decent k/d ratio and consistent wins in Axis aircraft. In fact it seems very hard to lose as an Axis player in most tiers. The substantial diference in climb rates for US aircraft to axis doesn't lend to an equal footing for air combat. This is more than a simple "sideclimb more" issue. I'd suggest an airspawn for more allied fighters, as it appears a large portion of players on the allied teams simply don't bother trying, knowing they won't get any form of altitude or energy advantage. Makes it hard when you are the only person who does climb, you watch your team die, bag one or two then die yourself against 5-6 opponents. It also removes the fun from playing Axis. Essentially you are racing to get a kill before the entire allied team folds like origami. Like playing god mode, bit of a novelty for half an hour, then repetitive and annoying. Where is the challenge?
   
   IMO, this game is devolving rather than improving. Rather than address balance issues, it seems developers are more interested in marketing new aircraft tanks etc... than addressing some fundamental flaws in the game. I understand a large part of this is making the game profitable, but at the same time, players are departing for IL-2, DCS and other simulators.
   
   So much potential....squandered.… Expand

   The visuals and variety of game play elements are fantastic, but the game has major issues with pay-to-win micro-transactions and matchmakingThe visuals and variety of game play elements are fantastic, but the game has major issues with pay-to-win micro-transactions and matchmaking balance. This is the only game I have played in 30 years that punishes winning by forcing players to be uptiered (communist matchmaking system). As with most successful games, over the years this game has evolved from features-created-to-be-fun to features-created-to-generate-revenue. This game will be a lot of fun for the first few dozen hours, then you will see that it is nothing more than a treadmill to make you pay money due to communist matchmaking.… Expand
