I've been waiting more than 5 years for this puppy, and of course the initial excitement has worn off. But it's not about the novelty, it's about the detail (which we see every week), the immersion of the sim, and that history that we learn! These are the things that kept IL-2 alive for so long.  |
Don't want to distract the discussion further from the important topic: ie SOW and the details in this week's update, but as I may be one of the 'impatient "expert(s)" ' to whom you refer (and that other people have commented on) I'd like to comment a little on my reaction to the update.
The video of the armoured car was found by someone on youtube and linked to from 1C forum 30 minutes before Oleg had got the official update link in place.

The battle-damaged He-111 was revealed in one of the pics in last week's interview.
Given that, my
honest initial reaction to this week's update could be described as less than excited. However I believe my comments were balanced and not unduly critical of Oleg or the update itself. I certainly don't consider myself an 'expert' and I was not attempting to speak for anyone other than myself.
I'm aware that Oleg is treading a line with these updates between playing it safe, and revealing features before they are fine-tuned and ready. I'm grateful that he takes the time.
