But really, I can't imagine they have done it anywhere near the aircraft level of detail and systems modelling etc... Unfortunately... Just imagine the whiner roar if all systems in that Pz-III where working Awww! Those hours could have been spent on doing my He-115 etc...

Have you tried WoT (World of Tanks), a bit arcade but still good fun for an hour at the time.

Its free to download.

I gave a link to this post to all who need on Monday

3) Information about the patch
http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/showthrea...=1#post1789544

Graphic component is almost ready, but there are still a few problems.
We do not have time to make a patch next week, will have to wait

[Mango]

Nice update! Russian villages will make a very cool landscape.

[csThor]

Thanks a lot. For some odd reason I feel a great interest in the Stuka (don't ask me to explain it - I just can't ) and found a few inaccuracies which should really be fixed. All I found are listed in said thread ... among many others.

PS: If you guys need help in understanding the german manual (which I have here, I can provide it) just ask. Ilya has my e-mail and you can contact me via PM here.

It´s not a bit arcade, it´s completely arcade. I can´t think any way to do it more arcade not making flyings/submarine/space tanks XD

Quick google translate from the sukhoi.ru post linked by B6:

Yes I just said, to emphasize the future prospects of your same engine. Of course, to fly I do not need it.
Ilya, better say anything about the patch, here is all worn out waiting for him


Luthier:
So we try very hard to make it more habitable, believable landscape.

With the patch, the main task - graphics - is almost ready, but, as always, for three days on this part of it, two on the other, five on this one. The problems were only with decals yes yes sprite transparencies, until we solve as collect, verify until - well, not next week for sure.

[icarus]

I believe that translates to........2-3 weeks.

Unless we get the early (pre Battle of France / pre Dunkirque) versions of Hurricanes or Spitfires with Weybridge propellers etc, there is no point having them modelled with 87 octane fuel in game. DH propeller has nothing to do with the fuel.

Exactly, definitely 100 octanes for Merlin XII.

I understand you suggest it this way due to playability, but it is rather unhistorical. Again, DH airscrews or Rotol - nothing toi do with the fuel used.

Exactly!

Good point, I believe it's a mixture issue. Same with Blehneim.

Yes indeed, but not exactly the way you propose. Unless you'd like to represent very early mark I RAF fighters, 100 octane fuel should be used in game.

So i think if in incoming patch there will be not solid and professional FM revision for these planes many people will be really dissapointment expecially when Luthier promise that there will be FM and performacne revsion in coming patch some time ago.

Thanks B6,

Now how you came across on the last post gives much of us hope that these things are at last being looked into so a BIG Thanks.


Have a good day looking forward to another update and the PATCH!!!

[Sutts]

Yes, thank you BlackSix for not only posting the update but coming back later to address issues raised by users. Great service from my point of view.

I'm really encouraged by your words and the way CloD is heading. Keep up the good work.
