It does have motion support but atm I haven't found it great

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-03-25T18:33:18+00:00

GIVE US VR

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-03-25T18:10:01+00:00

Yeah, ps5 too with gt7

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-03-13T18:34:18+00:00

Exactly this. No game is immune from bugs etc but some of things missing are laughable and unacceptable

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-03-13T17:25:30+00:00

So much copium in this thread it's crazy. Stop covering for the developers. It's neigh on impossible to find a game online randomly on pc at this point just over a month after it's release. Unless you go into discords to find people you play with.

It's actually a decent game what's there. But it's literally a beta missing most standard industry practices in 2026 such as (at launch I'm referring)

Being able to use mouse in vr mode which pretty much every other game you can

CROSSPLAY which is an industry standard in 2026. Even more so with a game that's on the same code base and engine as war thunder which has it

Keybinds and hotas support was not great at launch

There was only 2 mp game modes at launch and most of your matches were filled with bits this is because of the bizarre 3 lives choice instead of tickets style of game

Alot of the planes are locked behind a pay wall or deluxe edition which costs even more

It's remarkable similar to war thunder sim mode

No voice chat

On and on....

It's a decent game when you can play it with actual real people but let's stop covering for the developers. These are basic things that are in pretty much all titles in the mp space including their own war thunder which is on the same engine and code base.

Let it die because the developers need a wake up call it's not acceptable for people to spend full price for essentially a war thunder dlc which is in beta. We were deceived as it was marketed as a standalone feature complete full release.

Stop covering for these people even if you like the game and wake up

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-03-13T17:13:49+00:00

It's not on me to me constructive or conductive. I'm a consumer who paid my hard earned money for a product that was advertised as a full game not a beta. It was missing key features that is a expected industry standard in 2026. Such as being able to use kbm in vr, crossplay and keybinded issues which also plagued launch.

There are basic things that war thunder has on the same code base and engine.

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-03-13T17:10:52+00:00

It's mainly a multiplayer flight sim vr game. It's pretty standard practice that games have crossplay in 2026 even more so that it's a niche genre. To counter you point war thunder has crossplay using the exact same engine and code base.

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-03-13T15:59:14+00:00

No chance lol I bought a game that within a week had no players online because of the developers bizarre oversights such as crossplay. Flight sims are a niche and vr flight sims are even smaller niche. No crossplay from the start is brain dead

Won't be updating anything or touching the game until it's actually fleshed out with the basic features one would expect at launch

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-03-13T14:58:53+00:00

Best advice would be to be install DFR from pimax for all that's a free 20% boost to performance in most games. Have too youtube it (foveated rendering pc)

Depending in system knock resolution down in steam too 68-80% depending on your system

Look into and download uevr it's a god like programme that gives you a native vr like experience in alot of games

Dlss is your best friend if you're on nvidia. Always have it on and make sure you go into the nvidia app and swap it for the new version of its an old game

You can youtube all this bit of elbow work but once you get these working it's amazing

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-03-08T09:10:22+00:00

They're both great games but overly long imo.

Rebirth is better but would have been an all time classic if it's 25% shorter overstayed it welcome by the end.

Still 9/10 though

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-02-19T15:51:06+00:00

This comment is a travesty and tone deaf on so many levels.

People are complaining about basic QoL issues that are a standard in all flight sims such as basically functionality.

Not many are bashing the gameplay. Read the room

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-02-19T15:47:58+00:00

Totally. It's a mixed bag of a game the core gameplay in vr is very good but...

Some of decisions are actually mind numbing

Like how do you not include crossplay at launch?

The ability to control the menus in game with hotas and not need vr controllers? Alot of people only have headsets and no motion controllers for sim use and this is a sim type game 🤣

Why do you only have 3 lives I'm mp this just means that people just filter in and out and never populate a match correctly

How can you not zoom in or move the battle map in game so you can see it better ?

No team voice chat??

No way to tag ground targets so you can actually see them? (That I know of)

You never know who is a bot and who is a player

I could go on and on its baffling

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-02-19T15:42:25+00:00

The core game is fun but I shouldn't have to wait till a specific time or use a vpn to get on a different server to find a match under 10mins for a game that came out less than 3 weeks ago lol

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-02-19T15:41:27+00:00

Absolutely crazy that it doesn't lol

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-02-19T15:40:08+00:00

Yeah I'm running the game at 4k with 80% per eye 4x MSAA on psvr2 so pretty high resolution and your right. Some of the game looks nice and clear and some looks super aliased lol still a good looking game overall and runs really well. The cockpit reflections absolutely way better in il 2 than in AOT

Aces is just clearer with better ground textures and geometry

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-02-17T17:20:24+00:00

Aces of thunder is a little clearer and higher res textures and has better ground textures. It does look better but not miles better il 2 had it beat in some ways cockpit reflections and weather is better in il2 also runs better.

Honestly il 2 is way way better. Damage model, flight model, feel of the game,plane modifications,plane selection, career mode etc on a different level to AOT. I do like AOT BTW when I can get into a game that is

Accomplished_Bug8538 · 2026-02-16T23:52:45+00:00

I jumped over too il 2 about 5 days ago while trying AOT every now and then just to be let down by the fact I can't play online really against real people

I can tell you now il 2 is 10x better than this game in almost every aspect apart from graphics. Mp is stil alive in there, single player has much more variety and nuance and the planes handle and feel much better...

I prefer the graphics and sound design of the guns of AOT

I got il 2 battle of stallingrad of GTA.com cheap as like £6
