but here is the real kicker, they dont see it as an objective to match or better Cod-il2

1c has simply decided to stop pouring money into MG-CoD, and are funding the 777 team to make a completely different ww2 aircraft game instead. and what 1c really loved is the jason's 777 cash cow method to keep milking his teen crowd for more money every month. the sturmovik product name has just been given to 777 project in an attempt to increase sales appeal. a bit similar to saab cars a few ears ago coming out for the first time with a v6 engine in some of its models (after it had been bought up by GM), the only problem was the engine wasnt actually made by saab, it was a GM engine the brand badge matters very little in both those cases

the funniest part in all this is that all the whiners and trolls here who had still been whinging here the last few months that CoD didnt meet their childish expectations, they are now all of a sudden happy with the much inferior product teflon jason is cooking up up for them

lets see, compared to CoD, the RoF-ww2 reskinned game
- wont have the level of cockpit detail
- wont have the same detailed plane damage models
- wont have the same complex engine and aircraft system modeling
- wont have the same realistic advanced flight models (which has been THE great strength of the il2 series and has built its reputation)
- wont have anywhere near the same amount of flyable aircraft
- wont be able to have the same high aircraft count in the air, either human flown or combined with AI
- wont be able to handle 100 players on a online server with additional high counts of AI planes at the same time
- wont have anywhere near the same amount of static ground objects (buildings etc)
- wont have anywhere near the same high amount of ground AI activity and active ground objects, be this moving collums of vehicles, trucks/tanks, AA batteries or civilian traffic
- ...... and the list goes on and on.............

so forget about the RoF-ww2 project, it just aint in the running

the only viable alternative for ww2 flight simulation enthusiasts is going to be the p51 project from DCS, but they havnt even announced any other ww2 aircrafts to be in the making, so anything there is a long way off.

I know you will just label me as a insidious, sneaky spy for Jason if I ask but I don't really care anymore.

Do you have any proof (documented or otherwise) to back any of your assertions up or is it just pure speculation?

I think this is a valid question, your post not only slanders a company but also it's players (calling them "teens") so I would hope that you have something more than hearsay and speculation to back it up.

Keep in mind, before you file another report on me, I only ask because you are throwing a lot of heat at a project that does not even have screenshots yet, you are going to get another IL-2 and instead of going to that forum and asking honest, polite questions to address your concerns, you are sitting in this forum and fuming about how you just KNOW that it won't be what you want.

Tell me, is it just out of bitterness and spite? where does it all come from?

So, I ask again, do you have any proof (documented or otherwise) that backs up your claims that the new IL-2 will just be a reskinned ROF?
