Friday 2010-11-12 Dev. update and Discussion

[furbs]

Oleg...a question about the AI. Will the AI still fight to the death or will they try to escape if outnumbered?
When attacking escorted bombers will the british fighters carry out 1 or 2 passes then dive away? same with german fighters, will they carry out boom and zoom attacks then return to protect the bombers?
Is the AI able to work out defection shooting and snap shots?
How close to real life is it possible to get the AI with todays PCs?

thanks.

Question for Oleg, what progress have you done to make the campaigns more "personal" and immersive since IL-2? The Dgen campaigns didn't really make you feel that you were a pilot in a raging war. Read an article on Eurogamer yesterday (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-baron-article) about the Red Baron game. Sure the campaigns weren't as complex as they probably will be in SoW but they had personality and a sense of progression. Hope you have come a long way from the Dgen campaign stuff -you have been promoted, you have recieved a medal etc, yaaay...not!-.

Also, will there be any kind of resource management i.e, fuel management, pilot/planes/munitions supply as you become higher in rank?

Thanks in advance!

Oleg also stated that even allowing users or 3rd Party folks to add such symbols later might get 1C in trouble (in theory) but he wasn't yet sure what that would mean for the new game series.

Easy to fix. It is a Russian law, so have the software specific to the ability to add markings compiled in another country that does not have that law.
Not sure if Speedtree is a Russian company but I am sure 1C or Oleg could not be held liable if the source code used to make the trees could be converted into making giant swastika trees

One could even suggest an export version not for sale in countries with swastika issues that would allow it...

Modders will make it happen no matter how much 1C, the Russian parliament or German Government fight against it.

For me it is not a game breaker either way

Your recent experience raising a small child must be coming in handy around here.......Thanks for your patience.

GREAT IDEA! Try and skirt Russian law by trying to invent a loophole that may or may not result in jail time and Maddox Games/1C Publishers being raided and having their property seized!

We all know how reasonable and lienent the police are in Russia, and I'm sure they will have no problem with Oleg and co. making a game in Russia that will depict hate symbols outside of the country.

Oleg has already said no, why not give it up so that we don't have to read this every three posts?

Maybe...

1. answer questions you like,

2. give links if you like.

3. don't answer if you like.

I think most people just want to talk with you.

Asking questions is easy way to have discussion.

Here is a good referral link to send them... LOL

Maybe they will get the idea.

Actually I do believe that Oleg was attempting to ask forum participants to stop bickering over stupid crap, and suggesting one way to commence to do that.

Hi Oleg

The problem is I don't know if my questions have been answered before, there is so much to look through
Could you answer these (again?) please?

I saw your post to Hecke - "no Tesselation" - so that it answered.

Thanks

Not really a big deal to check Oleg's previous answers.

Less work in fact than writing questions that have already been answered (not referring to you in particular here).

I don't understand the word flaperons

Flaperon are ailerons that can both deflect downward at the same time so that they double as flaps. Hence the name flaperon... Popular on ultralights...
