I prefer War Thunder. I don't enjoy the "mouse-assist" version of the game. It feels too much like a point and click type of game. It looks pretty, however.

Based on Reading and on memory, wargaming still hasn't fixed the control issues, I often read comments first if I already have doubts about the game, this is what they get if they rush produce games.

Thanks for the insight guys, I guess Warthunder then!

I remember once I saw one of videos of their developers' diaries and one of devs said that they working on the game in such way that the players will fight their oppenents, not the planes. I call bulls**t on this one. maybe now that WoWP is OB it will change but I have no intentions that check that out as I don't plan to come back to this game.

I was also in CBT and I got to say, this game sucks. Well not that bad, but the control is so bad; I rather stick with War Thunder.

Does not hold a candle to War Thunder, gold ammo and a pay to win balance model makes for bad aerial combat.

I was in CBT and didn't like it. WoT was nice, but WOWP is kinda lame. Maybe that's because I've tried War Thunder and was so excited about it....Dunno. Just my opinion. GL every1.
