With the computer on the verge of a giant leap forward using memristor technology, all will be possible.

Its a huge step up from just being 'il2 the flight sim' now, its on a whole new level.

What's that sound? Is that whinning? Where's it coming from? Wait! It's coming from ....... ME! Really? I thought I had bought a World War 2 Flight Simulator. Now I find that all the resources of 1C have been directed towards the creation of manable AA guns and being able to drive vehicles around the countryside. Really?

This is what we get instead of MORE flyable aircraft? And everyone here is falling all over themselves patting 1C on their collective backs? Really?

I don't normally complain about what goes on here. Lord knows there are plenty of whinners to fill the void without my 1 Pence. But I find it sad given ALL the great work 1C has done on this WW2 Combat Simulator to see where it has gone. This sort of reminds me of my ancestors as the European traders offered us trinkets and beads for nothing really. Are these our trinkets and beads?

For me it feels like we are being sent to a divert field. We'll see.

Awesome!! That'sa very impressive vid Cheers!

[ATAG_Bliss]

Now this is awesome!

Tanks only server anyone?

[ATAG_Dutch]

Heh!

Certainly opens up the possibilities for a 'BlitzKrieg' simulation, and consequently a 'Retreat to Dunkirk' simulation.

Battle of France anyone? And of course Barbarossa on land as well as in the air.

Just as long as the aircraft perform properly that is......

Well,

this is a worry. I applaud the ability to make CLoD more appealing to more people who want to use vehicles and flak positions in such a way.
However,
The success of the original IL2 series was built on multiplayer Squadrons and on-line play using coops. The developers MUST fix/improve the multiplayer aspect of CLoD so that the VERY MANY SQUADRONS out there can invest their money and time into the product that should be the "next" IL2.

I am a member of a Squadron of 40+ players that all fly the original IL2, we want to purchase CLoD and use it BUT WE CANT BECAUSE MULTIPLAYER IS UNUSABLE!! Please work out how much money IC is losing in just this circumstance!

And yet we are presented with new features so we are able to drive vehicles, brilliant, but we still cant fly in the flight simulator that we want to.

Your best stream of revenue must surely come from on-line Squadrons ? Shouldnt this take priority instead of vehicles I can drive around in whilst what I really want to do is fly a coop with 20+ Squadron members over the channel in the Battle of Britain ?

Sorry to sound full of despair......... but I am

Well, I like it and I understand and somewhat agree with most of the posts concerning ground vehicles but I really don't need full interior models and complex operation on them to enjoy them, though I would like to see more physics modeling, momentum, roll and tumble on destruction, relative speed and maneuvering; tanks are slow, trucks and cars are faster etc.. This could start a RTS aspect to the sim, moving equipment to the front and giving more participation to the different forces in the battle, Artillery and Tanks. Base Protection and Resupply and of course Attacking those things. But we needn't start worrying about having these things complete in full bloom yet they're just thinking of ways to implement them. BF 1942 was and still is a cool concept and it wasn't modeled to simulator standards but it was still fun and on a huge battlefield where I could move forces, raid supply lines and take part in different battles that will be awesome, now if we could somehow merge Red Orchestra into it....

w(.Y.)t!!!!!!!

More than awesome news.

Finally the dream comes true! Combined Arms simulator competing with WW 2 Online (and upcoming Heroes & Generals).
