Anyone thinking of War THunder, the latest update (1.25) has unlocked the Full- Real battles mode.
No minimap, locked pit, toggable CEM option ( I boiled my radiator in an Il-2 by going for a cup of tea) and restricted icons (Friendly only and then very close). Plus you can now crash land damaged without the plane automatically exploding.
Also has a nice graphically update and a stunning Korea map. (Around 10,000 folk playing this now, and 320 the Full Real mode on Sunday night)
