I merely gave a simplified example that IF the 210, for example, had been successfull then the bombers would have a bit more time before being intercepted. That is a lot in terms of warfare. Damage is done already if the attacking force is egressing.
Why Falcon 4.0? Because it has a dynamic campaign, plain and simple. Everything around you went on even you would just sit and watch the map. You were a mere asset in the war. That is what still makes F 4.0 great.
What would be a let down in SoW is that it would be a scripted series of missions with an outcome written in stone regardless your actions. Just let the plane Autopilot all missions, what's the difference? Just a game with exceptional graphics but that's it. We've seen BoB before and would SoW be any different in that string? Been there, done that.
With extreme sarcasm..Was the wait of 6 years worth at all when all we get is fancy graphics and a set of features, but with no real content? Why fly for Luftwaffe at all when the only challenge would be not to die in the string of canned missions? That would offer zero replay value as the outcome is already known.
Above statement aside I believe SoW will offer a lot more and be the next sim to fly for years to come. Oleg and his team pulled this off with IL-2 so SoW will be no exception. |

With all due respect to You Flanker but I think You made cardinal mistake comparing real history events SOW with totally fictional time frame Falcon game. In the past, dynamic campaign was all over my lips. I wanted to be in charge and see effects of my shooting. Thing is after a while I found Mission4today site and I started dwld some of Their stuff. One day I found myself in Hurri plus 3 against 20+ Heinkels with 12 Bf as a bodyguards. And You know what, I didn't have time ponder about what'll be tomorrow because I was hard at thinking (about 5 second) how to stop those bombers and SURVIVE. Flanker I'm sure You witnessed some forum wars about FM, lack of ashtray in Galland Bf and so on and on. We strive for realism in performances, looks, ballistics so why not in HISTORY. Our holly grail in this game should be to finish a game alive and if it is too easy for You turn off or on those buttons in realism and try to fly campaign from the day You bought the SOW.
That's my personal view on those things what You thinking ?
