Flight sim, for now...

I would not be surprised they release a ground war pack.
A lot of vehicles are modeled.


I think 1C is testing on a variety of hardware, and targeting for early 2009 machines, simply to have the largest customer base possible on release.

And they will likely release a huge patch a couple of months after release to fix those low priority errors, that is after the other patch for hardware compatibility issues. Very common tactic by game developers (but 1C may do it different).

Its the small details in a game and the "Easter Eggs" that often make it all worthwhile.

For example in IL2 1946 it was a complete surprise to discover the trains (at least on the Slovakia map) have a steam whistle that blows when they approach a crossing or station. You can usually only here it when on the ground close to the tracks.

sorry guys no way this releases before 2012.. how do i know, simple promotion, every game has to be promoted before release and typically at a minimum whether via previews magazine articles or just announcements every game will be announced at LEAST 1 month before release, and since they arnt even ready to show us videos they sure as heck are at least 2-3 months away from announcing the release, hence Christmas is the best you could hope for at this point and even thats optimistic, my best guess right now is between Christmas and Q1 2012
