Yes yes, I know. Sorry if it was ambiguous. I was not angry at you, but the others.

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

Tanks are nice but oh for that FPS hit!

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.

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

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.

Usually I don't pipe in but, have to on this one. Most of us, who's been flying CloD, won't go back to IL2 46 due to CloD being so much more immersible and enjoyable......even with current issues.

I'm just as annoyed about current state and time frame as the next person but even now, this game is a hoot!

As far as the ground vehicles, tanks but no tanks; I'm a flyboy. But, I will enjoy attacking columns and nice drive in the countryside.

Patients is a virtue, enjoy what we have now.......it only gets better.

ps my Savior has nothing to do with it!

I loved the AAA defending the train! You can bet that will be a postion that gets play!

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!

My interest is the air. My passion is for warbirds. There are a lot of positive comments here so maybe there will be a market for this stuff but personally, I think they should stick to what they do best - and keep the focus of battles in the sky, either air-to-air combat or mud-moving.

Sorry BlackSix - I just don't believe this is where 1C's future is with this game and although I'm an avid supporter of all things IL2 and CloD I'm actually getting bored of this. Having said that... I do applaud and personally thank you for your improved communications.
