Actually, yes, if Oleg doesn't include a feature then it's most likely because he doesn't want to waste that much time for programming it due to what he thinks bad cost-benefit-ratio.


And what was the answer, if you got one?

I don't recall getting an answer. Anyway, it negates the fact that Oleg has now said they will be 3D which is awesome.

I think it wasn't Oleg, it was a russian at the sukhoi forum.
But the translation of it imo wasn't that clear.

But 3D craters is really awesome and a huge step forward.

You can do great 3D grass when there is no realistic damage model for the game engine to calulate...

:rolleyes:

I get p*ssed off when I hear people complaining about the graphics, saying they "should be better". Maybe some people should stop comparing SoW graphics with i.e Gears of War, Crysis and such. Don't you understand that those games are extremely scripted and things like A.I and DM in those games are almost non-existant. You can shoot a bad guy in those games in the head, arms, legs but that's all there is, just a few hit boxes. Sure, they can run for cover and try to flank you but even in a few games where it actually works it's nowhere near the sophistication that a flightsim requires. Even IL-2 at it's respected age still today has better A.I AND DM than most other games coming out these days.

I'm actually surprised -by the vids we've seen so far- that the game actually seems to perform so well DESPITE having all the nice bells and whistles. You want "better" graphics? buy H.A.W.X or some other Michael Bay esq. game.

P.S I like Kinder Eggs...

It's all about the gameplay and I've a feeling this game is going to do things no other sim will match for a very long time. The feedback on the screenshots has been useful for Oleg & crew I'm sure, but the big reveals start from here on out.

+1 Feel of flight, first time I felt it was when I played the IL-2 demo all those years ago, it was so worth sitting and downloading it all night on that lousy 56k connection. Swooping down flying almost ground level, I'll never forget that.

What damn are you talking about? Are you joking us?

Look at the second video, 1'30'', when the SE5a pilot died. Bullets hit the fuselage and soon after the pilot, killing it. You can also see the holes. Rise of Flight's physics is wonderfull, and i really hope to have the same in the BoB.

I'm drolling myself for the Battle of Britain, but Rise of Flight is a work of art, no more no less than a work of art. Don't touch it.

Do the planes still bounce off the ground when they crash?

Do they still fly in formation with wings twisted almost off or with half of one missing?

If you shoot into the floor of the cockpit from below are you now able to kill the pilot and or gunner? Or even damage the engine?

When last I flew RoF there were big problems.

*Waits for the now trite reply..."Learn to shoot!" :rolleyes:*

Sorry don't want to turn this into a thread hijack.

*Now waits for Jason to show up as well as the rest of the rabbid dog fanbois.*

And no I 'm not going to re-install it to see how it has improved, because I don't have an extra $100 US lying around to get all the planes I would need to be competitive online.

When will you see something better than RoF damaged models and physics, BoB included, tell us about it. Thank.
