Gaijin Entertainment is thrilled to announce that Aces of Thunder, the highly anticipated VR flight combat simulation game, will feature meticulously recreated aircraft from World War I in addition to the already announced World War II-era warbirds. 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, historically accurate weaponry, and realistic flight models, delivering an unparalleled and immersive gameplay experience.
Step into the boots of pioneering aviators and experience the dawn of aerial warfare. Aces of Thunder invites players to relive the epic dogfights between the Entente Powers and the Central Powers. Every maneuver in the sky channels the raw intensity of history, every takeoff fills the air with the exhilarating breeze of freedom under canvas wings. These wooden and fabric aircraft, with their open cockpits and mechanical instrumentation, showcase the craftsmanship and daring innovation of early aviation. Players will marvel at the visible springs and taut control cables stretching through the fuselage, a stark contrast to the more streamlined and concealed designs of WWII-era planes.
Unlike their WWII counterparts, World War I aircraft in Aces of Thunder feature fuselage-mounted machine guns, delivering a raw and direct combat experience. The simplicity and mechanical charm of these early war machines offer a gameplay style that is both accessible and deeply engaging, capturing the essence of an era where aviation was still in its infancy but already reshaping the battlefield.
