    team gaijin made some customized il-2 server, when formed team and built a reputation.

    then maddox bequeathed all il-2 development tools to the team most respectable amongst other mod makers.

    (if i understood correctly).

    team renamed to "entertainment" and made il-2 based arcade ("cliffs of dover"?)

    and then this "world of planes". ultrashumltrarealistic online 16vs16 BATTLE on 2x2km arena, "world of tanks" style.

    the wargaming (author of "world of tanks" 15vs15 on 2x2km) decided to conquest air and to build "world of warplanes" (15vs15 on 2x2km)

    to avoid everlasting confusion (both are role-playing games based on ww2 avia setting within narrow space and short gameplay with similar tendencies), gaijin ent renamed the product to "warthunder"

    now warthunder experiments with combined battles, tanks and airplanes on the same 2x2km arena.

    i don't like RPG, when i must spend most time pumping up my char instead of tactics or even fun-play.

    and i hate RPG even more now, when all people around me boast with all these various rags
    (better sight, camouflage, engine, cannon, commander trained, radio station, stereo-tube range-finder et tutti frutti)
    instead of solutions, psychology and tactics (warbirds way).

    however, product of gaijin is good otherwise.

    Враки. Какие 15х15 на территории 2х2 км? Это ты в аркаде летал чтоль? Ну там может быть, там свои карты. Надо Реалистичные Бои и Симуляторные бои пробывать. 2на 2 км.. это могут быть только танковые карты, которая в своюочередь является частью комбинированной карты, где присутствует авиация со своими аэродомами,целями, задачами. Но уже есть новая карта, "Курская оборона", где такнки уже на 5х5км воюют.

    What is that?
    Looks like another il-2 spawn.

    Yes, it's the next IL-2, but a lot of the underlying technology is from Rise of Flight.

    Haven't touched RoF either.

    What underlying techs you mean?

    It has the same graphics engine and a lot of the same AI code. Rise of Flight is already five years old (hard to believe!).

    It's really cool. At 5760 * 1080 it's awesome.
