Upcoming flight combat game Aces of Thunder will feature planes from the dawn of aerial warfare, including the Fokker DR.I of the infamous Red Baron.
Today’s addition of such legendary World War 1 era planes only adds to an already substantial roster of over two dozen aircraft in Aces of Thunder, which also includes the SPAD S.XIII of Rene Fonck. These biplanes, triplanes, and other aircraft join previously revealed World War 2 planes such as the P-51 Mustang of the United States and the Soviet Ilyushin Il-2. Aces of Thunder had been originally planned to release in Q4 2020, but was delayed until November 2011 due to a lackluster polish. Gaijin Entertainment stated at the time that Aces of thunder needed a bit more polish and they were preparing “more content than originally planned.” WW1 aircraft will also feature fuselage-mounted machine guns, which aren’t present on WW2 aircraft.
Aces of Thunder will soar on but was delayed and
sometime in 2025.
