Sadly, it is unavoidable. If the code, the graphic engine is good, it should handle ground action well. I mean today`s hardware is much much faster than in 2005 right? Tank battles will be the core of whining. It already was in old IL2. You had a King Tiger and T34-85 fighting on a 500m distance and the t34 won most battles. This means blue side loses sector/airfield/city so it has big repercusions on the flying. Which of them have enough armor to sustain a direct 20mm AP hit from above diving aircraft? Why is my tank so slow? And so on.

I mean I am a fan of the game but I tend to think that it is too much for such a small team
