WarBirds Dawn of Aces, World War I Air Combat

VS

Enlisted

WarBirds: Dawn of Aces is a niche, long-running combat flight simulator with a World War I theme. Released in 2016 as part of the WarBirds series, it caters to a dedicated but small community, mainly due to its age and limited mainstream appeal. Most similar historical simulators of this age have very low daily active populations, often below 100 players worldwide.

Enlisted is a free-to-play squad-based World War II shooter developed by Darkflow Software and published by Gaijin Entertainment. Launched in 2020 and available on multiple platforms, its player base is supported by ongoing updates and events promoted by Gaijin. However, as a niche shooter (and not a top-tier AAA franchise), its daily active players likely peak in the tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands. The game has moderate popularity among enthusiasts of realistic shooters but does not reach the scale of major titles like War Thunder or Battlefield. Players per match are capped and it lacks the persistent world of a true MMO.
