looking at the BOS map today, it should give great fps for its players...

I like the look of the city so far. Will be interesting to see how it develops.
Weapons are back. New gunpods, new effects etc. Need to practice my strafing runs for when the Sturmovik gets here.

I am possibly wrong here.

But do vast expanses of snow and ice make for better frame rates?

In CLod at least for myself, I get bad fps when near numerous colorful buildings, or just buildings in general

and,.. my best fps is when over the vast blue channel, so I would guess a hearty yes to your question :wink:

I don't think it's the colour of the pixels so much as the bump mapping, reflections and shadow settings that go with it. The white landscape seems to dull down any shimmering at a distance though, which means you can comfortably dial back the AA filtering quite a bit.

I don't know what it it's but I'm extremely bored by BoS thus far.
I understand that it's only 36 percent finished but I just can't find any reason to play. I have the premium pre order and I've probably played les than an hour grand total.
For the life of me I don't know why but I just can't get into this.

I have the same experience.
Maybe because it is like feeling a step down from the CloD level, regardless of all CloD faults.

Yes I thought that this would happen to a few and zapatista had predicted it would. I think that many will stick with it though, and a few will move on to a more serious and difficult type of play in 2014. Each year more & more graduates to a more realistic type of piloting. I know from myself getting the P-51, it is a real challenge to fly half as good as those WWII pilots did...but its fun learning :)

I tend to agree with the above observations regarding BoS player interest.

For me, Stalingrad was a ground war and not an air war. It was an immense struggle between both sides of an almost unimaginable magnitude. There was nothing similar on the Western Front. We know that there was a brave attempt by the German LW to supply their army, but it would never have succeeded.

Cliffs of Dover relates to an air campaign. This to me makes it more interesting. I would also be interested in campaigns involving RAF and 8th Air Force activity over Germany and the rest of Europe.
