The game is conceptually good; the idea of transferring IL-2 Sturmovik/War Thunder to SBox has been in the air for a long time, but only this game has managed to make it happen. The main problem with the game is the aircraft control and the interface (the fonts could be made more attractive), and the map and markers aren’t very intuitive. The throttle control should be done by holding down a key, not by pressing it — this is very confusing in dogfights. Controlling the plane using the keys is also not very convenient; it’s very jarring when you release a key, which creates an unpleasant feeling during the flight. The camera itself is very strange; I’d really like to see the option to zoom in or out, and for the FOV not to jump when you rotate it. The flight models of the planes aren’t great either, but I recommend the game — there’s room for improvement.

Barebones, but those are really solid bones. This is going to be a good one.

Terrible controls, but still better than war thunder

I'm not a good pilot, so I can't fully assess it, but the overall experience was very enjoyable.

Promising, possibly even original. Controls kinda suck but the vision is there. Kinda felt like I missed every shot, or that bullets i was firing werent hitting.

So controls were just difficult, dogfighting in general is difficult with the mouse control often conlicting it would be nice to have a option to disable that so you can release freelock and snap the camera back without having the mouse fuck your movment up, i think i bit more polish, the first person view from the cockpit would be nice, more planes obviously, seeing ships would also me cool and maybe infantry to paradrop/ land on the islands to capture them im just pumping ideas.

no way to switch from mouse to direct controls, taking the battle from the game to my mousepad as I fight the mouse control while trying to make a good shot. also unaltered ai code is just lazy, if you know how to use claude it can't be that hard to learn how to use a powerrenamer program.. right?

For a moment I was excited to see an original game on s&box. The controls are not really to my taste; I guess I am too casual of a player - and I never managed to hit anyone :( But I liked the huge map and the plane selection. The sound and visual effects felt abrupt, and the engine noise even reminded me of that one meme that sounds like someone's shitting down an oil drum. Interesting use of the F1 menu as a help page! Though something caught my eye: Claude LLM really loves to generate this style of UI, and some may have recognized it from the other slop games. I got suspicious when I noticed that the ammo count is not hash-coded - that is, the ammo updates only when the state of the UI changes (like rotating your camera). That might be my paranoia, but to me it was also a sign of generated code, because the engine is relatively new and modern models don't "know" much about how s&box works. A quick decompile (if you can even call it decompilation, with all the source code kept fully intact in the .cll file) confirmed some excessive commenting with the beloved long "—" dashes and "→" arrows. Damn. Look, I'm not one of those anti-AI fanatics, but the LLM generated code was a bummer. Still, I'm looking forward to any future updates - finally, an interesting game in the sea of idle simulators :)
