within the "Battle for Moscow" would like to hear your personal opinion and the opinion of other developers on the subject of how you see the process of playability for the warring parties, because it is no secret that the Red Army Air Force planes on a given interval of time is much inferior to Luftwaffe aircraft (from a technical point of view).
as a result, some will fly on the tombs, on the other Parkhaev swallows .. imbalance will lead to demotivation of most red-pilot! Does not bother you that? or planned to be a balance in the aircraft performance characteristics?

Thank you.

The problem of balance is always, as in the simulation of events, for example, the 39 th and 45 th year. In the offline campaigns and missions, it can be solved by fitting skills with the AI ​​pilots, aircraft type and amount of each party. We have to create some artificial situation where the same mission on the one hand there are real events, but on the other player to create an environment in which he can always either perform its task, or at least get out of combat and return to the airfield.
In the online cooperative missions, the space for only narrows the choice of types and number of vehicles for each side.
The balance dogfayt line - this is usually a headache owners servers.

In any case, we did not intend to play the basic performance characteristics of aircraft in order to achieve these goals in the next game. But. Appeared in WT option of physical deterioration, and this creates additional variability to adjust the balance in missions and we are planning is widely used in addition to other opportunities.
As an example, a link of three brand new rats will have some chances to win in a collision with a pair of worn Messer, if we agree that the skill of pilots is the same.

2) release of patches for the troubled project, which means the contents of the command is usually only possible through the advance allocation of money for new development. In fact, correcting the previous project "eaten through" money allocated to the next. There is next - it means there will be no patches for the previous one, bye.

Given the above, the decision to finish the first full release of the past usually means instant death.

Also, all of the above applies to the gaming industry in general and do not necessarily reflect the situation within 1C.
