I have a question (as I sit here wondering about the future of the game)...
We know that the weather will be modeled in great detail, but I'm wondering about how the effects of rain will be handled in the new game. Could the rain turn dirt to mud? Lets say you "take off" from a dirt runway and sometime during your sortie it starts to rain "cats & dogs"... Will the dirt runway turn into a slick and mushy mess on your return?
I'm thinking that this type of detail could (also) have interesting effects in future releases of the SOW series...think about the invasion of Russia and all those "battlefield airstrips" that froze solid in the winter and turned to mud in the spring.
I guess what I'm wondering, is if the "map" will have a damage model? Is that the right term? Will bombs change the landscape permanently? Will rain turn dirt to mud? Will lakes freeze in the winter or will their be separate maps for the summer and winter?
