Interesting. So would that mean we shouldn't expect a dynamic campaign but instead scripted missions based on this book?


Great update as usual. As others have said, the Hurricane in the grass shot looks great!

correct. 4:13.

P.S.In my opinion dynamic campaigns much more boring than static campaigns. If it made talented in static campaigns you can read stoty, and at same time learn history, as opposed to dynamic campaigns, generated by computer.

Last time I asked Oleg he said there would not be a 'scripted' campaign (following day-by-day historic events), just a dynamic one.

I seriously doubt that.

Exactly what I remember him saying too. So if it turns out to be based after a book, I believe it will have some static elements - but won't be static at all.


As for the update - I love the first two (Photoshoped probably) images.

S!

Can not be fully dynamic if you can not win BoB as Luftwaffe. And I recall Oleg saying LW can not win BoB in SoW..so static, semi-static or what?

How about "dynamic where it counts, historical where it needs to be"?

Seriously, you - as a pilot, even if you're commanding a Geschwader - do not have the means to influence the conduct of operations in such a way that Germany would have a (slim theoretical) chance to win. To do that you'd need to be at least Kesselring or Sperrle, both of which are Field Marshals and aren't flying. So what's it going to be: A strategy campaign for a strategy game or a flight sim campaign for a flight simulation?

Great shot of the Hurri, Oleg! Compliments to the dev team!

[Foo'bar]

@csThor: well said.

Keep going after the airfields and ignore London. Keep to the original plan and it will work!
