Is World of Warplanes REALLY bad?

Its a tale as old as time, but we're taking another look at this game to see if it really is that bad, because I think it deserves a fair shot.

After 10 years it still feels like an on-rails mobile game. Terrible.

[plutoidrepublic]

ive never seen it as a "Bad war thunder" its got hp bars, its NOT trying to be a war thunder, its a world of game. i like it for fun, i just dont play it often

[Wolfogre]

I like it. It's not realistic at all, but I have fun. And that's all I care about.

This is the game I play when I want to just chill after school since warthunder is extremely sweaty.

I've played it for years and really like WOWP's! It's not War Thunder and was never intended to be. It's a much more arcade style game that offers much faster gameplay and decision making then games based more on realism. Realism sometimes goes too far and really slows down the gameplay in my opinion. Seeing A LOT more new players on the Asia server too! Once you get your planes specialized and equipment developed and calibrated then you can really make an impact on a battle as well!

The people that bitch about WOWP, are usually the ones that don’t put in the effort to learn it. Aren’t the purpose of games is to be fun and to enjoy them? Why people hate on this game comes off as snobbish. It’s not perfect but fun, as it should be.

Despite everything world of warplanes have far better mission designs than war thunder, it really feels like every plane has a place meanwhile in war thunder you have to engage in dogfighst with a B-29.

Warthunder is like a job. This is just fun. Simple quick.

This is one great game. You can earn gold coins and the XP earned can be used in W.o.T. In the past six months, I've earned 85, 000 gold coins in Warplanes and that can be used in W.o.T. too. I've also won 80 days of Premium memership time for free. The game is in your Wargaming Information Center and is free to play. A joystick is not needed. A keyboard and mouse can be superior.

i think world of warplanes is a decent game

for me, world of tanks and war thunder ground arcade are about equal, i dont hate one more than the other, but in this case, i prefer world of warplanes over war thunder air arcade

i like the gameplay of wowp, because its really fast pace, theres always something to do, and you cant really get furious, theres no reason to get angry in this game. its chill just shooting at bots that can occastionally kill me if im overly confident. its just a quick but chill game

i watched reviews of all of the tier 10 planes before i started less than a year ago. i went with the soviet multirole line that leads up to the i-215, because it was said that its a really unfriendly line for noobs. what ended up happening is that i fell in love with the line, ai got the hang of aiming decently and now im grinding towards the british hunter, which will be my second tier 10

World of warships the boats have healthbars, this fine. World of tanks the tanks have healthbars, this is getting pretty bad. World of warplanes, the planes have healthbars, god save us.

The XF5U was called the "Flying Flapjack" and the only prototype was so sturdy that the yanks had to use a wrecking ball to destroy it. At least they did THAT right.

[Bigbacon]

this game is like a guilty pleasure for me. Load it up every so often and play it. I honestly enjoy it when I'm like the only human player on the team. It doesn't really work well with lots of humans because the fighting is very shallow.

I was there for the first closed beta, and it was the worst testing experience I ever had. The devs were rude, insulting, and threatening and had zero interest in our opinions or experiences. War Gaming ignored the testers feedback and released a game that was simply bad. In my opinion, every change the devs made after release made the game worse. For someone like me that has been testing games since before the computer game industry existed, it was shocking. It was no surprise when the game crashed and burned on takeoff (pun intended). The game wasn't and still isn't successful.

Is it a bad game? That is an opinion question, and it depends on what you enjoy. If you're looking for an aircraft battle game that's has some realism and is fast paced and challenging...then WoWP is bad. If you're looking for a very simple flight game where you can mostly ignore physics and it is very easy to do well, and that has mostly no realism at all...then WoWP is a good game. Sometimes you just want to mindlessly slaughter bots. There is nothing wrong with that. If you want more of a flight experience, you'll have to look elsewhere.

I don't agree with your conclusions, but this was a well-made video, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'll check out your channel more later (we're getting a big snowstorm here in Pennsylvania, and I have to run out for supplies lol).

I picked it up just yesterday and honestly? If you just want to dip into action every now and then for 5-10min games, this is where you're at. It's not very complex and every plane has an important role, so go and have fun

[zkyz]

Amazing game, playing from beta until today!

[LordVulcan]

I'm in the minority because I love this game. I have a lot of great planes. I fly the Batwing (Ho229) a lot. Devastating jet.

[ArmednDeadly]

WOWP is a lot of fun. I personally love the arcade style, and I don’t have to take it as seriously as War Thunder.
It’s not better than War Thunder because WOWP and WT are trying to do and be different things.

[worldofwarplanesgameplay]

i like the first version better before 2.0

[gerardterpstra-svrz]

I play both World of Warplanes and Warthunder. Have to admit though that World of Warplanes gives me more fun playing
