Anton is a GAME developer, so give him a break.
Leave the SIMS for Oleg and Ilya.

You know, you are right. We are developing game.
And it is flight-sim as well.
Funny thing is, that it is not book. Everyone agrees that they were such planes in BoB - they are talking that they were RARE. So they should appear rarely in trailers (or in the game).
That is not about sim it or not.
It is about 'historical truth'.
Guys, actually, it is impossible to make Sim (and game also) that is historicall accurate. You can be better pilot, and change battle dramatically. And than what? We should change history of WW2? Or tell player, that he is performing too good, and game is over?
But we are not doing that.
They ARE historically accurate planes in correct theatres of war.
Not exactly the same planes of the same types flying with same pilots, flying in the same directions and repeating same mistakes. Just historically accurate. No matter how RARE or COMMON they were.
And they are simulated (in Simulator mode). With perfect original IL-2 flight model.
And it is huge part of the game, which is NOT for kids.
It was easier for us not to make it. It takes time, money, and nerves to do it.
It is for hardcore community.
Ugh.
BTW.
Game is 14+.
Avearage age of next-gen console players is 20+.
Not so many 'kids'.
