If World of Planes/Warplanes delivers the same kind of exposure to the young ppl in regards to the aircraft of this period and awakens some interest that can only help us here. Just yesterday I met a guy on ATAG that came over from Fighter Ace to learn the real deal.

Arcade games like this are the perfect beginners drug before ppl move on to the harder stuff.

The flip side of that is they will be from a generation that have become lazy and apathetic and will just revert to the mental bubblegum of arcade games because the real deal is too much.

Speak for yourself here, I made quite different observations. But then again, I am not living where you are.

If only 1 percent of potential arcade players get hooked on the subject matter, and in World of Tanks a much larger percentagte did just that, then we are in for a good influx of new players here.

Hey if I said the sky is blue then everybody would have a different oppinion, we can only assume we both live on the same planet, possibly even the western world, where everything gets mass produced by machines and computers and meat comes in plastic packaging, can you believe there are people who need to be educated where a sausage comes from.

lol, I hold it with Bismarck here:

"Laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made"

That said, I think you understimate the education in large parts of even the western world. And in these days the western world is not the beginning and end of all things anymore anyways.

[bongodriver]

in Bismarks day that was true, please don't be under the impression I believe the western world is the be all, I thought my post said more or less the opposite.

Underestimation can be less dissapointing than overestimation, but maybe you are right and I shold be less of a cynic.

Well this game will make World of Planes seem like a sim

jsut a quote from the preview:

"... I wasn’t able to make the plane stall, as the game doesn’t include that possibility,... "
