Bottom line is WOP didn't keep the online flight sim communities interest, many of us bought it, but soon when back to flying IL-2 1946. The maps were simply to small for anything but airquake and no mission builder. I don't know how many of the offline community stuck with WOP.
War Thunder looks a little better than WOP, if they've made maps large enough for both side to land and a mission builder then maybe the IL-2 online community will be more interested. COD's next patch should make the sim more playable for most people, then they will have to get the AI, Commands, FM, and DM sorted to fix the game play issues. With the complexity of the COD FMB and the addition of the SDK, I don't see War Thunder keeping much of the IL-2 crowd interested for long, unless War Thunder has made major improvements to their WOP game engine.
