Don't get your hopes up, but I'm sure your theory is very much correct.
On the other hand, most often only one opinion is allowed here.

Last week I listened to a seminar by Kjell Enehager, a Swedish golf/athlete trainer that has gone professional management seminar speaker. He had an interesting story about when he trained a Swedish tennis player who never really made it (he has trained a lot of more famous golfers after that). He was playing Ivan Lendl who was a junior then at the same level in a training game. At the end of the training Ivan always liked to do ten serves each... Ivan did one ace in his ten serves and the Swedish player that I dont even remember the name of did nine aces and only missed one serve. After the game Kjell talked to them both about the training and their thoughts. The Swedish guy said he was thinking about what he did wrong with that one missed serve. Lendl at the other hand did not think about the nine missed serves but what he did right with the only serve he did put in the corner... A few years later he was number one in the world, and the Swedish guy that I don't remember the name of had quit playing....

Long way of saying that maybe the glass could be half full after all? Lets give these guys that we obvoiusly beleive in (we are here after all) some slack...

The ground vehicles are fine with me, except I don't know how we apply them in the Battle of Britain.

Where were there ground battles?

Does anyone know if 1C ever was going to put infantry in the game? It seems like they are near to producing the Best all around WWII sim I have ever seen.

That's very true Orville but I strongly believe that the ranks of the Royal Navy will be filled quite quickly once the SDK is released. I know it isn't ideal having to rely on community work to fill the gaps but in reality, there is a shed load of work required to model these ships in all their detail and the devs could never devote precious resources to that - imagine the outcry then.....I bought a flight sim and you give me the Atlantic Fleet!

In a way this would be better as in the long run it is the only way we're going to see some significant ships modeled due to the rights issues over in the US. Probably not a Royal Navy issue but an issue non the less.

I really do think this thing will start snowballing once the stability and FPS issues are sorted out and the SDK released. The future looks very bright in my eyes.

Let's see where the patch takes us.

I don't reckon many would really think that. However some may consider that those one or two guys are sucking up wages and development costs that might have been spent on people who can further the title as a flight simulator.

Look, if playing crazy taxis in a bunch of tanks that handle like something from the Medal of Honour franchise is your idea of a cutting edge flight simulator, good on you. For myself I do not think it is a mature decision, especially at this stage of the titles development.

This was part of Oleg"s plan from the beginning, developing a game engine capable of providing Land, Sea, and Air combat, capable of CGI movies, future proofing the game engine by making it modular so it was easier to code in new tech. This will generate new sources of income allowing the developer it stay financially solvent to continue providing new and exciting air combat features for the foreseeable future. Yes its a tall order and one of the reasons the new game engine has taken so long to develop. If it succeeds every combat flight sim fan will benefit.
