Were all for supporting the genre, not sure how trashing COD and promoting every other sim is going to help here though.

as much as i could be interested in this, the DCS world is not really a WW2 scenario, and as people said before, whats there too shoot at?

im sorry, but if i wanted this product i would go for the acusim p51 ( i think there is one).

nothing. waht i said was precisely that. if i wanted a simulator to fly the plane with no actual combat, i would buy accusim p51.

But at least you have the option to shoot stuff in the DCS version..

Granted it might require you to think out of the box a little.. But I know for a fact there are dogfight servers in HL where both sides have the same planes, thus you will see P51 vs P51 senarions in those IL2 df servers..

So what is so crasy about DCS server with two sides and only P51s to fly?

That and I can remember back 20 years or so when Chuck Yeager's Air Combat (CYAC) came out where you could pit WWI, WWII, KOREA and moden planes against each other. It was a hoot!

CYAC

Or like I allready mentioned.. what about a strike force of say 5 F-15s attacking a 3rd world S hole with an airforce of 30 old P51s.. I think that would be fun for funs sake!

well, thats all possabilities. but not to my likes. same plane scenarios are usually used for duels or for lolz, and bot thsoe things are not my favourite in il2.

but hey, pheraps this will spice luthier a bit and COD will start working

I don't think I've said anything in this thread trashing CoD. As to promoting other sims, I agree with the other posters about competition being good. We all get complacent and need a push sometimes. If Luthier and his people feel that market share might slip away due to another product then I assume they're savvy enough to up the ante with their own.

Sorry it wasn't aimed at you, I just quoted you for context, I agree competition is good but don't feel the DCS sim is really going to do it, it's really only going to compete with the A2A and accusim add ons.
