Yeah, right?

I love it when people want to deny other peoples` options. :D

One big game
 

Hi all,
It's good to see something Oleg said years ago coming to reality (jump from your plane and use flak) and even better now. Someone worked on it ; but the patch, then Russian extension come first, I suppose. What I wonder is how this will happen online? Can we imagine a Kursk tank/airplane campaign with 128 players (squadron leaders, tank groups, with proper communication, etc.?). That would be something new, more than just old IL-2 + some Red Orchestra features). Thanks to the team and the weekly news.

I dont know about SLI, but they are claim big increases in performance, so you have that... at some point we complain just to see our name in print I think ;)

Actually - no.
Only SB Pro which is outdated.


BTT:
Has anyone of you wondered how they finance current development?

So the people who are working on the tanks, work for free? They don't need to occupy a space in the office? They don't need to use an office computer?

Because what they are doing, the resources they are using right now, could be used to give us a flight simulator instead of a 1/2 assed flight sim with no content and some stupid tanks you can hop in and see how crappy the models are from a first person point of view. The money used to pay those people could be put towards people who will actually make the "FLIGHT" part of the game better.

You lost nothing if the ground stuff become playable, and win nothing if don't. However, if the developers abandoned the project because many people are opposed to this, who want to use, it will not be able to. I do not understand why this would be good to those who now complain. :evil:

And the money made selling the game to those RO2 and World of Tanks types can be used to hire more people who will actually make the "FLIGHT" part of the game better

This has obviously been on the cards for some time (since before release)- look at the controls section (vehicle controls). Would it be better to have the coding and models for this and then suddenly sack developer team members and throw away all the labour that had taken place for a long time? If this is the case there are two options:

1) release the vehicle part of the game, get more customer, more revenue and able to develop a better flight sim.

2) Drop everything, dont make back the cost of developing vehicles and then try to focus on flight sim but with reduced funds for development.

1 sounds like a winner for both those who are and aren't interested in the ground stuff :)

Edit: Also, especially with regard to the sequel, fighting in dogfights or ground attack above fields with dynamic action happening on is going to be far more interesting and realistic than watching battles that will have required huge amounts of scripting from mission designers.

How do you know what is going on in development? It cold be someone decided to work on this on their own time, during down time, or at times they werent able to work on something due to other things going on. This reminds me of people complaining on the Eagle Dynamics forum about the P-51 they are working on and people worried it has replaced the next modern fighter... ahhh internet forums...
