After looking through all the updates and reading the SOW interviews over the last 12 months its left me wondering what sort of sim SOW will be?

To me there is no question SOW will look and fly fantastic and be the next standard in flight sims.

The flight models, plane models and all the rest will be leaps and bounds above what we have been used to in IL2 and other sims.

BUT...

Can the SOW engine make us believe we are fighting the "Battle of Britain"? or will SOW be more like a "Small online engagement with Battle of Britain planes sim"?

With current Hardware i cant see we will be able to have large scale BOB battles that we have read about.
To feel we are a pilot taking part in the BOB we would have to see at least 60-70 (and thats a small scale battle) planes in the air at the same time.
The closest ive seen to that sort of battle has been 2-3 missions in WOP and will all know WOP is very limited in what we call a flight sim and is no where near what SOW will be.

I just cant see that sort of battle happening in SOW for at least 2-3 years until much faster CPUs and GPUs are on the market.

I think we are much more likely to see what we get now in IL2...offline maybe 20-30 planes in a small engagements.

And online, small COOPs of maybe 20 or so planes and in Dedicated servers even smaller engagements of maybe 5-15 planes.

Im just trying to not build my hopes up of SOW being more than what we can expect with todays hardware.

what do you guys expect from SOW?
