I am really concerned about some possibilities. Like how many resources and bandwith needs a full war online war and how machines are going to handle it. Not that I am against the idea, which is old, but I thought that maybe the logical order was, first a full scale airwar, with clouds and collisionable trees for tactical reasons, capable of handle hundred of planes in the air, and after that the rest...

I wonder what will happen when you still have a limit of 60 online players, and 59 of them takes the ground slots

Hopefully I am totally wrong, but I'd like to know if you have thought of this and what are the plans.

Anyway, thanks for the update and good luck, sincerely.

You put in an option that only half of them can take ground units

Could be a solution, if that half that still can get planes would be high enough for a real air war

Pretty sure half this forum is high enough... sorry, couldnt resist that one

Can I drive the MGTA to the local?
I might need it after slightly pranging my Kite...( undoubtedly because of low FPS on final...)

Bingo, but thats not a problem of the included tanks but a flight sim issue in general.

Exactly, so whats the point of doing it, unless they have a plan of how they are going to improve the current state of the art? That's why I asked for a comment about that from the devs, because I am sceptic they can achieve that in the short/medium term.

In the meantime, I will continue to think that this is simply a trick to get founds, but I feel its like walking on thin ice and I can only wish good luck and a Luthier to be a visionary who sees better and beyond this humble user.

It's hardly a trick, they need to widen the audience and it's one way of doing so.

Thanks Dano, I stand corrected bc probably the word trick has a different meaning in english that the one I had in my mind when I wrote that. Substitute tricky for way.

I think that there are better ideas, in order of importance.

1. fix the core game engine and bugs (in progress)
2. fix co-op (in progress?)
3. Add additional content (no mention)
4. Add additional aircraft, campaigns, etc.
