Perfomances through time!

We gladly saw Oleg's new post considering the development of SoW and we got except some great looking pics and a big news hint! The look and the perfomance of our aircraft will faint in the past of time!Marvelous idea especially the looking part! As for the perfomance this will be available and for the online campaigns? Do we have an idea how much will be the amount of the perfomance drop and what would be the reasons for more bad perfomance? Will be noticable that there were engineers and new spare parts working to maintain the shape of an aircraft? Also i would like to add that ace pilots had special treatment for their planes!

Keep the good work gentlemen!

For player plane only?

AI aircraft need at least simplified "basic" wear. Player plane can have more "detailed" wear modelling.

No. All engineers needed to run high Polygon trains.

I hope there will be a randomize function on line.

Can you imagine the scope for abuse where the hosts squadrons get factory fresh planes and the rest get clapped out planes!

I also hope that the external appearance doesn't necesairly mean the aircraft performance is down. Otherwise having a ratty aircaft will mark you out for special attention. An aircraft can be well maintained mechanically but the paints a bit shoddy. (though the paint work may account for a few mph at top speed!)

I can imagine the chat messages

"I owned U bigtime!"
"My planes a pig, how com all our planes are clapped out"
"Shoddy workman always blames the tools. looser! U Sux"
"It's the plane, Hey aren't u the Host"
"Crybaby"
"Cheeter! I'm going to an IL2 server!"

Yes! A "historical" Online War campaign covering anywhere in the Pacific roundabout 1943 and after.

But the AI planes have to have some "wear" modelling, at least at a simple level, or the whole idea is a disaster.

Yes...
Furthermore they will need to really have the same FM/DM as player or offline experience will be severely crippled.
