If Oleg dumps the tamed FMs of IL-2, BOB will be hard. The A2A FSX 109E is a very difficult airplane to operate, far more difficult than the IL-2 E-4, as are the 109Fs, Gs, and Ks by Flight Replicas. Taking off in an Oleg airplane allows you to do a plethora of things which would kill you in a real airplane. Alas, as I understand, the FMs for BOB will be the same as the last version of IL-2---he is putting all his chips on detailed damage modeling and far better physical models of the airplanes. Oleg is a showman more than a simulator designer. He wants his users to be able to get in the air without too much trouble so they can appreciate the fireworks he has arranged.
