"Warbirds: Dogfights 2012"

[+Major Lee]

Anyone have any info/opinion on the "Warbirds Dogfights 2012" sim?

 

http://www.totalsims.com/dogfights/details.php

 

Is this moddable? Realistic to any degree?

[+JediMaster]

It can't be moddable.

Number of Players: 1 - MMOG

 

It's online, which means everyone has to have the same setup.

There's also this:

Oooh, the excitement that did NOT generate in me. As for realism, who can say. It might, but there's others like Aces High and Warbirds still out there, isn't there?

Stay away. We both World of Warplanes (Sucks) and World of Planes on the Horizon. I would advise you to wait for either of them.

it's another iteration of Warbirds 3, with slightly better engine then Warbirds:Dogfights from year or so ago

[+streakeagle]

Warbirds 3 won't die for some reason. Not sure how it keeps limping along given that it doesn't have near the subscriber level that Warbirds 2 once had. Given that Aces High is far superior and programmed by the original creator of Warbirds, I can't understand why anyone is still flying there at all.

By the way, TotalSims = iEN, who lifted the rights to Warbirds from Hitech and friends.

I play the "full" Warbirds 3 from a few years ago, since the development.

The graphics look like 5 years old, I saw the trailer and I noticed that even realism is not that high and the game felt arcadish, trailer displayed a Jap torpedo bomber launching a torpedo meters away from target! the torpedo disappeared in mid air then the ship all of a sudden exploded! unrealistic and unappealing stuff ..

I use to fly ketsujin's studios fighter ace.

it wasn't pretty to look at but it was a lot of fun. There was different rooms for skill , maps and training.

Aces High is ok, IL-2 still has superior graphics and physics. Now if IL-2: 1946 had a better way to play online, that'd be great. I hate having multiple installs of games just to play on a certain server

Oh, FA 2 introduced me to WW2 Multiplayer. I loved FA 2 & FA 3. Too bad it went bankrupt.

Didn't go bankrupt. Just the owner didn't want to spend the cash to upgrade the server.

Almost the same thing. Instead of spending money that wasn't there, or failing to pay one bill to pay another, it just stopped for lack of money.
