In the vid, at 2.18, trees look also much better placed, in a more natural way.

Regarding vehicles, I can understand how you might use tank-to-tank warfare or air-to-tank warfare in the sim, but can someone give me an idea of the purpose of driving a car/jeep/bomb trailer in the simulator?

What I mean is, that without a defined purpose for the vehicle there is little point/incentive for a player to use it in the a sim. For example, a full dynamic war generator is needed so a bomb cart can be used to load a bomber, or a car can be used to get a pilot to a plane, or an ambulance can be used to heal a wounded pilot, and so on.

Agreed.

Can we just have optimization, improved FM, AA, AF and St.Paul's. That's all I want and I'll be happy. Not too much to ask is it?

Thanks

I think they are only testing with the models they already have. They recognize in the post that they don´t know yet how to integrate vehicles... wich is a bit frightening really, that they are working so hard with no clear plan about where they are going.

Yes, I can only imagine the devs are going to tie all those assets together in the FMB so the mission builders can expand mission complexity. Otherwise thats alot of work for a staff car if he cant deliver the latest intel for the general, or the supply lines(trucks/ships/cars/trains etc dont supply/rearm/repair/rescue etc!)

The possibilities are endless with the ground vehicles, lets hope the devs make it so we can create those epic online wars!

Just some food for thought.

It would be weird if we had a controllable say Pz. IV, and not flyable IL2-M to counter it. Also, supply convoys didn`t always happen on ground as you may know. If we are about to see such vehicles get drivable, I would expect that aircraft types of the same role (eg. supply : the Li2) are also flyable. One type of a flyable would suffice. In Online wars the supply aircraft used throughout thw whole war were DB3/Li2 and noone complained.
