4-12 wish list (Merged)

Since you seems to be new, I'll go ahead and say it (this horse has been beaten to death )

Daidalos Team and 1C are contractually obliged to not include any hardware that was designed by Northrup-Grumman or any company it bought over the years.

This means no P-61, no Avengers, no further US battleships, and no further Wildcat and Hellcat variants, etc, etc, etc.

It's unfortunate, but there's nothing that can be done about it at this point except to try mods. It looks like World of Planes which will come out fairly soon will have an Avenger at least, but that game, produced by the guys who made Wings of Prey, is likely to have simpler physics, flight-model and damage-model than Il-2. (Pick your poison )

My bad, somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew this. I am not new to the game, just recently reinstalled after a few years. Trying to catch up on the latest and enjoying the sim very much. Don't know why I ever removed it... S!

Impossible or just a matter of what price?

The former ... because of the latter.

Hello, in this tread http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=29683 is a conversation about tank damage, which is very simple right now.
I think it would be a good idea to split the damage in two parts, without making the damage model too complex: Damage to the armour and damage to the tracks.
When the armour is destroyed, the whole tank is destroyed, but in some cases it is hard to do. When the tracks are destroyed the tank is useless and I think tracks were much easier to destroy than armour.

What do you think?

Is like millions of dollars that NG wants for licensing?

According to an unverified source 1C paid something like quarter million for all NG products, included into the PF release.

I wonder, if that fund riser would be as successful, as this:

Seriously, though, DT is not in the position to negotiate anything with NG. That should be done by 1C and Ubi, but I doubt, they would want to move a finger for good old IL-2...

Let's get this straight. Northrop Grumman have made it clear that 1C will have to pay a ridiculous sum of money for the privilege of illustrating the role of Grumman in WWII, and people here are suggesting that we should pay them? Yeah. Like there is nothing better we could do with the money...

Actually, with the sort of money they are demanding, we could probably fund an advertising campaign to point out how they are exploiting a past history funded via taxation to rake in profit, and how they'd rather hang on to their 'intellectual rights' than allow anyone to learn about the realities of WWII, even if only indirectly. In any case, there are plenty of things that IL-2 needs that don't involve paying off sharks - if their shareholders think that writing NG out of history is a sensible policy, let them...

[KG26_Alpha]

I've merged the 4.12 wish list threads it makes no sense fragmenting the requests

So have a careful look for your previous posts before thinking they've been deleted.

Thanks.
