Thank you!
Very nice video, I really like the direction the series is going!

Now... where is that Beta patch?!!

Adding more game play options is just that, variety, possibilities, strategy, however you describe it, it can only add to the feeling of a living lanscape that begs to attacked and defended.

"Who needs this stuff" some continue to say yet with that attitude I spose they dont need trees, buildings , vehicles, grass, untill we get the flight sim "they paid for". We could go on and on(and many have) in that direction but with out a living ground we would be in space!

few would be complain (i guess) about improved AI of ground objects or their improved DM...... if all this needs to by playable with "cockpits"....another story IMHO.

But 1C made their decission , lets wait and see how it will develop ! But its a forum about this game, and i think im allowed to say that i dont like it, in which way (showed by official WIP videos!) it SEEMS to develop.

IMHO complaining about 1C trying to generate more $ for flight sim development by attracting RO2 and World of Tanks players is like a dood complaining about his favorite bar/pub trying to generate more $ for a bigger beer on tap selection by letting ladies in for free on ladies night..

I see both as a good thing..

more targets!

I don't get it, why are people complaining about these new features that may or may not make it in to the game? Who said they stopped working on the core game, DM and FM? Did I miss something? Geeeez

Frankly I don't see the issues here with the ground element. It will bring in more players, and they won't be FPS speed freak kiddie types. Those gamers have had zero time fighting aircraft with real flight models, much less without shoulder fired 100% accurate guided weapons. The first time they raise their machine gun/Bofors/etc... and get torn to shreds by aircraft fire will be a real eye opener.

That's all I'll say about it.

What a lot of you seem to have missed in viewing the video is the fluid "gameplay" vis-a-vis frame rates.

Large explosions, fires and smoke everywhere, explosions in zoomed in "gunsight" views and it appeared to run really smoothly. This alone is big news as far as I can see. (ouch, sorry about the bad pun).

who says this more $ would be put in the flightsim part and not in the groundwar part if this groundwar part brings the easier money.
Anyway, we can change nothing, we have to wait what they will do and than can decide to buy or not.

My thoughts exactly addman. I think most of them are probably still at school. Their reasoning skills are certainly lacking.

Yeah, just imagine all the easy targets once people from other games join on for the ground vehicles! The bomber guys will have a field day!

I am the only one tank simmer that is not excited by theses videos?

Until trees can have collision i can see tanks driving trough entire forests...

I can remove or add buildings and/or forest in the CLODO settings (almost cheat). You want tank game, Fix this.

No infantry or infantry positions to shoot at/cover?

Yes the multiplayer aspect and graphical are great, but right now, i'm not interested.

Correct me if some statements are wrong.
