I thought that everybody should know about this meanwhile...

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.

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!

I`ll try to translate word by word this sentence about dynamic campaign:

"...Нету динамической кампании, как таковой, которую любят аркадные игроки очень, хотя в последних аркадах я их вообще не вижу, там просто маленький набор миссий и все."

"...we don`t have dynamic campaign, as such, wich arcade players likes very much, although in recent arcades I don`t see one in general, there is just small set of missions and that's all"

May be I missed something in context, but as I understand there is fully static campaign. About dynamic campain - only that words wich I translated.

P.S. I guess, it could be better, if Oleg clarify a question with one's own hand.

You're right, this sounds like it was pulled out of the context. If it turns out to be true, which again I somehow doubt, it would go against everything Oleg has said so far.

As others have said - Oleg already stated on more than one occasion that you won't be able to win as LW. Based on your latest input - the only logical conclusion I can make is that we might get somewhat "scripted" campaign (based on that book) with dynamic missions. Based on that book.

Can you translate more of the interview for us please?

After some more thought - has Oleg ever confirmed (talked about) the dynamical campaign in the BoB??

Unfortunately, full translation takes to much time. So I can translate only short abstracts of interview.
