About
Experience the thrill of aerial combat with Aces of Thunder, the ultimate flight simulation game with high fidelity graphics that looks perfect both with and without VR HMDs.
The game's physically accurate flight and damage models derived from the popular War Thunder military action game ensure a high level of realism. The battles take place exclusively from the cockpit view to provide ultimate immersion and fully supports HOTAS controls. Aces of Thunder features a set of the most legendary WW1 & WW2 aircraft available to hop in and fly right upon purchase.
Perfect selection of WW2 aircraft
Fly 20+ carefully recreated iconic aircraft of World War II, such as the American P-51 Mustang and P-63 Kingcobra, the German Bf 109 and Fw 190, the Soviet Il-2 and Yak-9T, the British Spitfire and the Japanese A6M3 Zero.
A rare chance to fly Great War machines
Iconic fighters like the Fokker Dr.I, famously flown by the Red Baron himself, or the SPAD S.XIII, the favorite aircraft of René Fonck, Allies’ most decorated ace, will have authentically detailed cockpits and historically accurate weaponry.
All key theaters of war
Aces of Thunder battles will see you fighting across the world and getting a better idea of where the fate of war was decided. Visit 15 beautiful maps representing three key theaters of World War II: Western, Eastern and Pacific Fronts, as well as signature World War I frontlines.

yeah uh no point lmao its just warthunder with less players and more steps Same models, same runways, biggest cash grab Retrying the game on this steam sale Will let you all know Steam playtime hasnt updated properly however Ive refunded it its genuinely One of the least intuitive games in the "sim" genre Terrible menus, awful Hangar movement And hotas support sucks in general for the price of The game You can pickup 2 dcs modules and have waaaay more fun If your not using your hands in vr it is the same as warthunder if your using a hotas If you need a good vr flight sim dcs or vtol vr
garbage game cant even get controls set up almost every control reqires an "axis" making just cloning IL2s controls to 360 controller impossible even hotas i think would not be possible the game really wants you to be using your hands which sim players (which this is geared at) are just not going to want to be doing
VR Controls are ass
slightly changed War Thunder on VR, not worth it
Поставил, поиграл 4 часа, снял шлем — обнаружил что лицо мокрое от пота а в комнате уже темно. Стероидное погружение. Берите
Galera é a mesma coisa de jogar War Thunder, não vi vantagem nenhuma em comprar, gosto muito da tematica da WW2 e aviões, mas prefiro jogar um jogo que tem de graça (War Thunder) a unica diferença dele é basicamente que vc joga sempre dentro do cockpit. esperava mais da interação dentro do cockpit tambem. talvez quando ele ficar uns 30 conto eu pegue de novo
Купил себе. Сын (14) увидел. Теперь играет сын. Я смотрю. Купил второй комплект VR. Жена смотрит на нас как на сумасшедших.
мой батя летал на Як-9 в WT 5000 часов. купил ему третий окулус и эту игру на др. теперь батя не разговаривает со мной, только летает. это лучший подарок что я ему делал
GREAT POTENTIAL pls update this game more
Dejo mi reseña pensando en aquellos que, como yo, entran a leer si el juego realmente vale la pena. Viniendo de simuladores como DCS World e IL-2 Sturmovik, y aclarando que War Thunder NO me gusta, considero que Aces of Thunder entra en el mismo nicho que VTOL VR. Te ofrece la complejidad suficiente para sentir que estás pilotando un warbird real —cada avión se comporta y se siente como debería—, pero con un enfoque ideal para partidas rápidas. De hecho, me parece una excelente puerta de entrada al combate de la Segunda Guerra Mundial; al ser tan directo, te permite practicar muchísimo y sirve como una transición perfecta antes de dar el salto a la simulación pura en IL-2. Sin embargo, los "peros" que le pongo al juego son los siguientes: Falta de Cooperativo: Las misiones de campaña y las misiones sueltas deberían poder jugarse en coop. El juego brillaría mucho más si su enfoque no fuera un multijugador que, honestamente, está muertísimo (para eso ya existe War Thunder). Campañas más profundas: Siguiendo el punto anterior, se extrañan más misiones de campaña, con mayor desarrollo histórico y un poco más largas, ya que muchas duran apenas entre 10 y 15 miutos. Un editor de misiones limitado: El editor actual es demasiado simplificado. Si no van a ofrecer más contenido de campaña, al menos un editor robusto permitiría a la comunidad crear y compartir contenido, lo que le daría un puntazo tremendo al juego. Conclusión: A pesar de sus carencias, es un juego sumamente divertido. Es la opción ideal para abrir el simulador, echar una partida rápida y practicar la puntería sin tantas complicaciones. Por su precio vale bastante la pena, especialmente si lo consigues en descuento. PD: Los DLCs no valen la pena a menos que seas muy fan de un avión específico (en mi caso, solo los compré por el F4U Corsair y el P-40).
