I played Steel Fury.Is quite hard for someone used to be a tanker of Battlefield games.It also looks a bit unfinished.

SoW tanks and etc have a quite high amount of detail.Totally different of IL2 tanks.If they work on the engine,maybe we can experience ground combats.But,still,infantry is needed for a better ground combat atmosphere.And not just static infantry,real AI infantry.

To have a naval sim at SoW would be far more difficult.If SoW tanks are already ultra detailed,ships,specially aircraft carriers and battleships will have an amount of detail that will crash the game even on the best computers.

Then it would be needed to choose which sim you are playing: say for example the ground forces call for an aerial support, then another player using SoW on a common map will execute this task...
The player on the ground could perfectly well have a detailed ladscape typical of ground based games, as he is playing in its own game. On the other hand the air player does not need the same level of detail, which again is not a problem as he is playing on its own air game. All this would work the same way between an air and a naval sim!

To be solved:

- common maps with different level of details
- command and control system to define

But the result would be great and doable I think...

Thats very interesting!
If Oleg manage to do that,we will have a real time WWII experience.There will be nothing like that in the games history!
But we should get back to reality for a while...
