As long as the planes are flyable the lack of a campaign is not that big a deal, because we would still be able to fly user made German campaigns and also multiplayer (i still wonder what the rumored new MP mode is going to be). I would expect them to release new theaters (maps and new aircraft) as payware add-ons, with smaller improvements and bug fixes as part of the regular patching process.

In that sense, i expect that the German dynamic campaign will probably come as part of a post-release patch and not as a totally separate expansion, since it is part of the same theater.

Well, we'll see how it goes.

Maddox games are working on the German Campaign. I would have thought it would make the initial release. If not it will probably be a free addon, not long after the initial release. This will have nothing to do with when the third party Korean war addon is released..

Why would they make a super realistic sim (yes, I think it will be super-realistic with a good gameplay) with a planes that don't react like it's real life counterpart as it should be perfectly doable?

Like if you get the best performance on the climb from x-y thousand meters with manofiold pressure Z and prop pitch Q then it should not be rocket science to replicate that to the sim either as there normally is plenty of manuals and pilot notes available.

Or if you should lower the gears over X mph then that should be the limit.

Manuals and operational handbooks should be the starting point for modelling planes if a real one is not availeble to model from.

And you are so sure of that because of?

Otherwise I would be a Spit only sim, lol.

I wonder how that Su-26 campaign is coming along...

:)

Oleg said in this forums a few days ago that they are still working on the German campaign. He didn't say wether or not the campaign will be in the initial release or released later. I would imagine he would want to have the campaign complete before the initial release, but shite happens.

What caught my eye was someone who posted text read from the back of the box screenshots.

Something along the lines of "online ongoing war, can last for weeks".

This sounded AMAZING to me and has been something I have been dreaming of for years in flight sims.

I hope its real. I really do think there is so much info yet to be released about this sim that will blow our minds.

I have serious misgivings when I see a Spit manual only, and incomplete Axis feature's.

It might be fun to scoff at the German stuff being seen as not important but it will drive the divide between "fair play" and historical accuracy once again to the fore front as the two sides are seen not as important as each other.

The old adage "well we won the war" wears very thin these days, from the Allied pilots who use it to cast off any Axis gripes.

I hope its held back until its a completed package and the distribution is intercontinental and not staggered as it has been in the past causing piracy over the 4-6 week difference in distribution.

If a German software house created this sim what would you be thinking if it was called Operation Sealion and the manual was only a bf109 and there's no allied campaign on release, it will be added at a later date ?


just a different way to look at it.
Have fun.
