It is really lightyears ahead over rof channel map and graphics. Really a beauty except the colouring. Bit you can really see the difference. So nice visibility, better modelled aircraft and all the work behind it with plane structure calculations etc.
Really lightyears. I think, a comparable game who do it better will last another 4-5 years, if not more. A shame that it all changes and patches became so difficult that they really had no luck and time to fix things soon enough and fast enough. And that they had no time for comunity work and content adding.
Perhaps they should try to get another 3.000.000 bucks via kickstarter to built real bom and not bos.
I pledged a lot of money for star citizen. Hopefully no desaster!
