Having played Theatre of War I have to wonder why the formally KOTS people who are now Rise of Flight did not stick with the IL2 engine?
Not one of the graphic's jumps out and grabs me. The planes are so-so as good as you will see on IL2 now. The water is the same and the ground towns and trees all look very IL2-ish or worse CFS3-ish.
A WW1 sim is fought down low and slow and the terrain just looks flat. Yes there are trees and hills but not much else.
Look at the convoy of ambulances or the mounted AA gun. It looks so IL2-ish and very flat terrain not a bump in sight. The road looks like it has been painted on. As for the massive scar of trenches across the whole of europe, well they just look like dark brown terrain meshes with cut-off trees sticking up. The tank does not look like any ww1 tank i have ever seen either (but I will take their word that it must be authentic. ) I stand corrected that is what a German tank looked like.
The cities look good but again not much better than we see in the current IL2.
Don't get me wrong I am buying the game without doubt and I will have many fun hours flying but a next generation flight sim it is not.
