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.
Intense dogfighting

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).
VR HOSAS Review I'd argue there is no better "real" game that comes close the graphical quality of AOT. Even comparing it to the already excellent quality of the now dead WT-EC. I have a good rig. Graphics maxed and my Quest 3 supersampling is at 2.0 with plenty of head remove to spare. IMHO, AOT has nailed the balance between realism and instant arcade. Enduring confrontation is dead. WT-RB is no fun vs 3rd person and mouse aim. You VR nerds need to play this instead. The problem for me is, I want to inflict pain on DCS elitest grey beards and make them snap their cheap HOTAS. Or bring tears to cross PSPVR teenagers but no cross platform exist. And that's the issue. Their are no players, and rightly so. Our favourite socialist, capitalists, Gaijan, have stung us with a very similar game to what we've already paid for in WT. Let's be honest though if your playing in VR you've got cash. Their engine limitation for WT arguement is semi believable. There is no doubt this itteration is vastly superior in VR. The other problem is progress. I bought the Deluxe pack. All planes are unlocked. Their is nothing to achieve. Leader boards don't matter if it's just you and your mum playing. Where's the 50 planes I spent years unlocking. T5 in WT-EC. Just a bit shallow for me at the moment because I've already done it all before. Still, it's a positive review because these guys truly know how optimise and do VR properly. (except for the dog poo motion controllers i'm forced to use for the menus) Pro tip. Take the headset off when setting up your HOSAS.
Мой кот посмотрел на экран один раз и ушёл. Видимо испугался Спитфайра
AUPER GUT ICH BIN WIE VEI WAR THUNDER TOTAL BEINDRUCKT AKSOLUT SPITZEKLASSE ICH FREUE MICH AUF DEI STUKKA UND AUF DIE ME262 , KANN ESKAUM ERWARTEN
Good fun, a little tricky to get the settings right using gyro on my dualsense. Would be great if you can create a dynamic campaign in the future. Great bones for this stage of early access.
наконец-то нормальный авиасим без 50ти видов модулей которые надо качать 3 месяца. сел и полетел. респект
чисто вартандер, но с ботами, людей нет + вечно тригеры включаются и мешают, вот не понимаю в чём суть этой игры, почти никак не расширяет возможности вартандера, за эти деньги могли бы продавать просто вариант управдения в тундре, но тут ещё кокпиты передалны, и интерфейс под виар. Всё же главная претензия, 0 онлайн, оно и понятно, играть контроллерами неудобно в авиасим, тем более виар, так и жанр где онлайна мало, то есть ещё на этапе планирования не понимаю сути, как этот продукт должен развиваться, если продаж будет мало, а онлайна крепкого не будет. Оставлю фиг с ним, может в будущем сформируется, что то, слава улитке!
it is actually real cool to look around the cockpit in VR mode, nice game in general :)
Aces's is not perfect but I really enjoy playing it. The game runes great on my older X99 system at 1440P with my RX 6600 XT card so that is great. I do not play VR at all but if your a VR person and like flight games this is a must purchase. For me even though I do not play VR I like the game and I wish they would add some DLC contact to flush out the single player aspects of the game. Even without that and the limited single player depth I like the game and would recommend it. It is nice to get up there and mix it up with the game in its current state!
графика красивая, самолёты летают, фрицы горят. что ещё нужно для счастья
