War Thunder is easily the best in the business. I HIGHLY recommend it.

I used to play War Thunder but now when I fly my preferred planes (WW1 era biplanes) I have to fight spitfires and falkenwulfs. Maybe its still good if you play the realistic gamemode but arcade is sure a clusterf***. As for flying and gameplay mechanics it is the best though, I just don't like the matchmaking.

I think War Thunder is an excellent airborne shooter.

warthunder is by far the best arcade flying game ive ever played

The realisitic part of warthunder though, is not really that realistic compared to other sims like Il2, but atleast it tried

if you love ww1 planes, you should really consider checking out il 2 sturmovik 1946 dark blue world mod, check it out on youtube, its a really really good ww1 flight sim. no multiplayer though
