Oleg awnsered that question himselfe a while back. Adding fences for ex. everywhere they should be would add an unreasenble amount of workload for the pc with with very little return in overall experiance (lets face it, when are u gonna see them). Im sure mission buliders can add them arround airfields and such (guessing) for example.

Just skimmed through the major PC magazine websites and ALL believe this is just another title in the IL-2 series with an updated 3D engine... Well done Ubi...

Squad mates not up to date had the same idea ... yet another expansion of the old Il2 Sturmovik.

A lot of people thought the same.But you cant complain in the forum,otherwise you are a silly whiner.People need to understand how much this sudden name change will affect the game sales.

I don't know how much each type of graphical feature affects PC performance, but Oleg has commented a few times on the limits of PCs. Not only are the physics more complicated than FPS games, becuase we want the aircraft to fly / shoot / get damaged as realistically as possible, but also the maps are huge compared to an FPS. You can fly across the country (we have a small country), dogfighting, without waiting for a new section of map to be loaded.

Never has our community been so united as in our dislike of the game title. Just about everyone was happy with the idea of "from the makers of IL2".

Fortunately, of all the things that could disappoint us, the name is something I care the least about. I appreciate it could effect sales, and less may come to join us, but what can you do.

Spread the word is all there is left for us.Since the name is not helping to make the community grow bigger,is up to ourselves then.

I think this was Ubi's cunning plan all along. Give it a daft name and let the cult - sorry, community, spread the word. It's like The Shawshank Redemption.

i'd like some more detail on the 24/7 dynamic campaign engine listed there for multiplayer :)

the germans obviously couldnt cross the channel because an invasion fleet is not modeled, but does this mean the campaign has an open ending that can change in outcome each time it runs ? (oleg previously indicated this would not be the case)

Didn't see it like you.

They do mention it as "the next entry in the IL-2 Sturmovik series " because that is the way the press release talked about it.

Doesn't mean magazines think it is just a redo of the "old game".

Here, the main PC mag clearly knows that it's a complete new game, probably the first of a long serie.
