I don't have the latest information from the Ilya on these issues, sorry.

will we be able to control single artillery pieces and batteries of artillery as a unit to ?

We still have not decided

I can not understand what the "ETA"?

Infantry - this is a very heavy load on the engine and FPS, it's a big question.

Thanks BS!

[trumps]

well i like it a lot, looks like a whole lot of fun! sounds like the patch is progreeing well, any info regarding the FM work that has been done, the CTD bugs, trees being a solid object, and lastly the radio coms functionality?
As i said before i am really looking forward to the chance to play as part of the ground forces, but do trust that none of this is taking away from the work required on the core sim.

thanks for the steady flow of updates guys!

+1 ....absolutly

Another funny video of tanks.

Pardon me but am i the only one who goes....WTF?

Adding a half-baked vehicle sim to this WIP aircraft sim doesn't make it any better for me. Would be OK if i knew there are enough resources on the development side to pull it through, but for the last couple of years it looked like development of this game was chronically short of manpower.

What can we expect in the end, an arcade game that has a little bit of everything in it, so that everybody can buy it, play for a month and trash it?

This problem will be solved in the future, I do not know the specific dates.

1) we have not thought about it
2) out of the car - not sure
most likely it will be done in the same way as the transition from the plane to the plane

Thank you)
It all depends on the programmers, perhaps in the next few days.
Ilya still does not say anything to me about it...
