Oleg is always telling us about how flexible and strong is the CoD engine.
I think the truly masterpiece is not the Battle of Britain itself,but what is under the hood,the engine.
My hope is in the future some third party decide to explore early jets not only in the fifties (korea) but in the sixties too (Israel and Vietnam)
It will be amazing to fight in a Mirage III,F4,F8 or Mig21 made in Oleg's standards with the inaccurate early missiles and radars.

That would be cool for the future or a completely different game Viet Nam a Mig 21

I can hear Purple Haze blasting in the headphones now

That's the cool thing about Viet Nam it was happening when the best music was happeng.

From a monetary point of view every theatre except Western/Eastern European air war and the Pacific are on the negative side.

I hoped for long that interested could be lifted introducing a less common scenario like the Mediterranean. I'll keep wishing. You never know...

Genuinely laughed out loud I don't believe you've shot me down, Oktoberfest. But only because you let me join your crew from time to time. Looking forward winging with you in CoD:IL2.

And as mentioned before, there is no way in hell Oleg lets all his work slip into some clusterfuck fail with UBI after all these years of hard development and research.

I think the trailer looks absolutely stunning in most parts especially cockpits and lightning , yet some people whine incredibly about it.. since when did you become graphic whores..? you all know this game has
so much more under the hood than just the eye candy, besides the WOP style graphics at some locations isn't necessarily a bad thing as WOP doesn't look bad at all
graphically, and this is leaps ahead of anything the IL2 engine could achieve even with mods and/or "high-res" textures which some claim to be equally on par with Cliffs of Dover.(pathetic)

Well of course the mechanics, gameplay and other things are the core and most important foundations for a good game. Its just that when I watched the trailer and saw all the jaggies, I cant help but notice/pay attention to them. A few years ago I would not of cared, now I do since they are no longer present with a good res monitor and AA.

Its like when you buy a HD tv (good one), and watch a HD movie its great. Then you go and watch a 360/240 res youtube video on your new shiny large screen HD tv. It is hard not to be distracted...
Thats why I mentioned it. But like I said the cockpit was spectacular, as was its lighting. I will state the good and the bad as I see it, because I care...

.

I agree 100%. I hope he makes a bucket-loader full of money. I can envision many a scenario arising from this engine.

1C may be the next ID for flight sim games. How many shooters were created from the ID engine? I can only hope for that same success for 1C.

It's not the polish of BoB I'm excited for. It's the possibilities of what lays ahead in the next few years.



My guess for the next installment? Flying Tigers: Manchuria. (Well I can hope, can't I?)

Wake up.

My, you are asleep.. don't go all 'groupie fanboy' on me.. I also like the series.
As there's no concrete confirmation about the type of DRM, I reserve my judgement.. and if it's is the SH5 style of DRM, you can be guaranteed of 12hour emergency meeting

Would be really nice to atleast know some Official Minimum and Recomended System Requirements before it commes out...
