2 years in gaming industry is a very long time.

And yet, IL-2 has a 10 year history, and has a way to go still.

All they need to really worry about is that the FM/DM/engine is as advanced as it can be. All the cosmetic stuff can be easily added as it becomes available (as IL-2 has proved). Saying that, I fully expect that SoW running on the highest setting will kill most PCs.

But..

Surley there's no way such a niche title is going to launch with a really high minimum spec? They can't afford to do that. They need this title to be accessible to as many people as posible because it's future relies on the sales.

I know lots of people on here are gonna buy a new PC specifically for SoW but I'm not sure how many other people would do the same.

Oleg did say that they intentionally develop on slightly less than the top spec so that the game will work nicely on the newest hardware. Still I expect they will be stretching the capabilities as time goes on.

Lots of people bought it for 'Rise of Flight', so they just need SoW BoB now
There is nothink new on TOP hardware sector whole year and there would not be anything new in nearest 12 month period, except maybe prices which where rising about 20%, so maybe now we will have some drops about 15%. Ugly capitalists

I'm looking forward to 100+ live pilots on a public server! That will be cool.

Oleg:
Has the name of the series finally been decided?
Will it still be SoW? Someone here suggested OMG (Oleg Maddox Games) - it would be a great name!
