I hope you are correct, the shortcomings of WoP make me a bit nervous as to how War Thunder will be (simply because the dev team is the same guys and if these issues were not important in WoP will they be addressed in WT?)

-Small Maps (makes bombing boring and leads to airquake style games)
-Arcade objectives in SP (some missions require you destroy more enemies than you have ammo)
-No mission editor
-No custom offline campaigns
-Simplified Physics
-No complex engine management
-Bombers use 3rd person view (no cockpits)
-Difficult to skin aircraft
-Game engine not open to modding
-lack of dedicated server software

But I am not in the beta so I suppose I shall have to wait and see how it is.
