Should 1c finally be concerned about competition? Eagle Dynamics "Flying Legends".

Although very little is known yet, ED have announed their upcoming Flying Legends series. We know that it will begin with the Mustang, which will have armament options and attack capability. It has been predicted that maps and opponents will arrive with the Pony, but not been confirmed or announced.

It's been a good few years since anything rivalled IL2 and 1C. IMO, If Eagle Dynamics have their eyes open to the misery with regards to CloD, then they will 'grasp the bull by the horns' as it were, and develop their very own WW2 combat simulator. To be honest, they'd be stupid not to.

We all had such loyalty for 1c, and I am certain we all believed this was the one release that could not possibly go wrong or wreck that loyalty. That's all been shattered for much of the community. How do you feel about the ED Legends series? It has the potential to be everything we ever wanted, especially if it's relatively scaleable and has a good dynamic campaign and online options. Would you leave 1c products behind if this turned out to be true?

I think this is an important time to ask this question, with all of the recent comments from BlackSix about no more updates due to some attitudes here, and the silencing over the patch.

Flying Legends is down to be released in 2012, preferably the first half. If it is anything more than a study sim, Luther et al should perhaps be more concerned with how they're developing their sim and how they're treating their customer base.
