Aces of Thunder will be playable without VR!


If you don’t have a VR headset or are yet unsure which one to buy, don’t worry: some time after the release of Aces of Thunder the game will receive an update adding a “flat screen” mode. It will allow all users of PlayStation 5 and PCs powerful enough to run the game to enjoy Aces of Thunder without using VR devices, while retaining the highest levels of realism. For maximum immersion, however, we recommend using a HOTAS and a VR headset.

Aces of Thunder is currently nearing the end of its development, but will be released only when it’s fully ready. Intense PvP battles, challenging solo missions and scenario editor to let your creativity run wild await you.

Anniversary of the La-5’s maiden flight



On March 21st 1942, the La-5, a fighter aircraft designed by Semyon Lavochkin, took to the skies for the first time. At lower altitudes, this aircraft was capable of fending off Luftwaffe aircraft on equal footing. This prompted the USSR to ramp up its production: a total of 10,000 La-5s were built during WWII.



In Aces of Thunder, you’ll be able to pilot the most advanced version of this fighter — the La-5FN. We’ve also updated our official site — visit it to learn more about the game!

Legendary Biplanes: SPAD S.XIII

Welcome, future pilots of Aces of Thunder! Today we’d like to present the French biplane that you’ll be able to fly in the game.
  • Cruising speed: 190 km/h
  • Armament: 2x 7.7 mm synchronized Vickers machine guns

Designed by Louis Béchereau, the SPAD S.XIII made its first flight on April 4th 1917 and became the most widely produced fighter of World War I. A total of 8,472 were built.
The SPAD S.XIII is heavy and not very maneuverable, but make use of its strengths — it’s the fastest aircraft in level flight and during dives.

Did you know?
You may have noticed the unusual exhaust pipes running along the fuselage. They were deliberately designed to be this long to prevent the pilot from being blinded by exhaust flames.
