some things seem to be intrinsic in this threads, whatever they're about. btw star wars was shot to resemble ww2 dogfights, that's rather evident in some scenes (the way tie-fighters dive in formation, the AA following the x-wings, the crash on the executor resembles kamikaze attack) so if this one turns out overdone and futuristic maybe darth vader will appear saying "the circle is now complete" :rolleyes:

Give it a chance you nerds.

As I recall, Star Wars was pretty accurate... :) :|

oh well..

It appears that modeling gravity is harder than you would think! :-D

C'mon guys, take it easy... It's a LucasArts attempt to tell an amazing true story about an amazing period in history!
But y'know they've got to make money, or else they won't be able to afford to patch it :rolleyes:

Seriously though, it has to have a broader public appeal, than to just this small, but highly educated elite group of experts ( and I mean that in all honesty)
Hence, the over-the-top FMs, etc. Etc.

I truly hope it does not end up like 'Pearl Harbor'!!! But I think the underlying facts will shine through, regardless.

Please don't start world war III... You know there are not enough real warbirds left to go round!!!

Break! break! break!.... Have a nice weekend! :mrgreen:

Pearl Harbor was my all time favorite movie and THE movie that got me into aviation. I remember I was really into history till the day I saw pearl harbor. After watching it I put down all my history books and started reading aviation magazines. hahahahah

If not for pearl harbor, i wouldn't have played IL-2 to begin with, wouldn't have heard about CloD, wouldn't be here talking with u guys. :rolleyes:

The one with affleck?

More love than a hippy commune!!!

Not enough flying and fighting! (but cgi was ok)

;)

This movie has been in development for about 10 years. It's been cut, re-cut, shot, re-shot, added to and modified from start to finish. Sounds a bit like CloD. Anyway, like many have said we WWII fighter fanboys don't have many movies to choose from :( so I'll keep my hopes up that this won't be as bad as some we have seen of late.

I had the honor of listening to one of these Tuskeegee Airmen speak at my squadron and let me tell you. Nothing that has happened in this AIR FORCE Since vietnam has been more heroic and downright humbling than what those pilots did in Europe.

I swear, reading this forum feels like a kick in the gut sometimes. You fools have NO idea what the GAME is all about. Or what kind of real men it took to go up and accomplish what so many before us have. You, nor I have ever seen war like these men did. And hell, Ive been shot at in Iraq.

Un-believable. Absolutly ZERO respect.

No, YOU are missing the point. If this movie gets the German paint schemes wrong it is actually a slap in the face to those airmen. Same goes for the flight models. Or the cloud algorithms. Or any other minor flaws we can find.

Next thing you guys start is a flame war over Wehrmacht tactics in Indiana Jones.

I wonder if a Star Wars forum somewhere is up in arms, because the P-51 @ 2:15 in the trailer turns on a dime!

And for those claiming the CGI has no problems, just take a look at that one part.

Doesn't bother me, personally. Just saying.

And those 262's roll suspiciously fast.

Anyway, remember -

WE FIGHT, WE FIGHT, WE FIGHT, WE FIGHT.

as long there is no lovestory (at least not too much of it) in the movie - i will watch it !

Aircombat movies are to count on one hand in a decade......................
