This is true. On the other hand IL-2 now has detailed cockpits that were in most cases meticulously researched which means that some of the problems from 10 years ago of not having the resources are "solved".

Well, SOW has the potential to develop into a full blown WW2 sim (rubs hands gleefully), with all aspects of aerial warefare.

Hopefully Oleg has made allowances for core engine upgrades..

IDK,do you think SoW can grow and get as big as IL2?
It will still not have Pacific...

For a pacific theatre we just need maps, planes and palm trees. By the time the African add-ons are produced we'll have the palm trees so that only leaves the maps and planes.

If the SOW engine will let us have large maps and aircraft carrier, its only a matter of time before we revist the Pacific.

I personally would like a south west pacific map, North coast of New Guinea and west through Dutch East Indies, Borneo etc. It kind of gets forgotten , with all the emphasis on US Carrier opperations.

I'm on holidays next Thursday and am going on a nine day walk along the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea (Dad fought along there during the war!) Along the way theres a chance of seeing a few relics of downed aircraft. Should be fun!

Cheers!

Have fun on your trip, mate. From what I've read of the environment in New Guinea, I'd skip that one myself. Of course you Aussies are made of sterner stuff than us Yanks.

I\m not sure about that! It is definately going to be a hard slog, but We're doing everything to make sure it's going to be 'easy' as possible. We're taking our time and porters are carring the heavy stuff. ("Hmmm! Maybe if I hire an extra porter or two they can carry me????")

It is a very good example of the reasons you don't make holiday plans when you've had a few drinks! ("OH GOD! What have I gotten myself into!")

I'll try to find some interesting pictures to take on the way!

Cheers!

LOL! Better than a tattoo I guess. I await the pictures, this way I can have a vicarious trip to deepest darkest New Guinea without all the sweating. Safe trip!

Sorry for the thread stealing.

To get back on subject, there just isn't much to ask for as far as planes in IL2, but I'll be more than happy when some of the old favorites pop back up in all their SOW glory. I'm sure high altitude fights in p-47's and 109's will be far better.

Lolz, there wasnt a plane I wanted to see that didnt make it into IL2. When I first played I wanted to fly the P51 and that was there, the P38 was there and the Corsair was there. Not until later when I got tired of the P51 sucking or I sucking w/ it did I fly the Spitfire and fall in love with it haha. Even the Me262 I wanted to see and it was there. If was anything I wanted to see that didnt make it was more skins for the planes. Seeing how your talking about no mods. eventually i got AAA mod and that was fun =D ME410 and Revolver Cannons was the death of my already ish gunnery.

It certainly could grow as big as Il2, and the potential is there to be much bigger, it is only a question of time.....

The Pacific theatre will be done, after the Battle of Britain, Korea and the Mediterranean are finished then it is logical that Oleg will turn to other theatres, and the Pacific is one of the most important so we will see it sooner or later.

IF...SOW BOB sells well....the SOW series will have every major WW2 theater of operations, and then some. The SOW engine has been designed too constantly improve over the life of the series.
