"Why"

>>12393593
Any combat aircraft would become a hangar queen after a long period without significant refit or rebuild. Even more so for a carrier plane.
Of course maintenance would get harder after more than 20 years of carrier ops.

There's nothing wrong with adding fictional or conceptual aircraft to a game, but at least make them somewhat believable. And there are plenty of actual concepts they could've used instead, like FB-22 or NATF.

>>12394094
Stick to your shitty arcade game where planes are balanced via "secret russian dokuments ))))) found in long-lost Soviet bunkers )))))))", I'll stick with DCS and IL-2.

Holy shit, I mean seriously, I can't believe you're trying to prove how elite you are by comparing two arcade games. Blazing Angels was mediocre, but at least it never pretended to be a "sim" with any historical credibility.

>>12394125

I'm not trying to prove that I'm somehow elite. I want to say that WT is fun to play. Not in arcade mod, it's boring for me.
And about "secret documents" - personally I think that soviets are ok. Unlike brits and (maybe) americans. Germans are overtierd.

>>12394140
I don't think you understand. On more than one occasion, Gaijin's rationale for certain balancing changes is literally "secret documents" that they are totally legitimately not allowed to share with the public because they're classified, not because they're full of shit.

>>12394153
As I said, balancing system sucks, nobody denies it (first 3 tiers of soviets and other allies since tier 2 are quite comfy to play because of it).

>>12394178
Because all those canards are doing is adding drag and increasing RCS.
Canards are fine if they're part of the aircraft's original design, but bolting a pair onto an existing aircraft is seldom the best solution. Even the Russians realized this with their newer Flanker models.

>>12394207

Thousand cuts indeed, because you'll run out of ammo before doing any significant damage, statistically.

Alright then just play whatever.

Air Combat and AC2 are easy enough to get because they're PSX, great games. X and X2 are ok but PSP. 3 is japan only at this point (unless you want the gimped version). The AC2 remake on the 3ds is also good I heard.

Don't touch Assault Horizon.

That covers most of them.

Doing anything but playing everything in production order is cancerous behavior.
