Lookin Good
Thanks for the update.

The ground becoming 'alive' via player-controllable tanks and other weapons and vehicles will greatly expand the IL2 community and COD's sales. Promising .

Thank you. The future looks good and promising

S!

Good news on the graphics performance, sounds promising! There are no tinfoilhat plots about Black Death..it has been porked since day one Maybe it needs to be re-done..

Vehicular system sounds good and can be a real contender against other MMOs like AcesHigh, WW2 Online etc. But that is far in future I bet..before everythibg matures with the IL-2 engine.

Thanks for update and have a nice weekend!

Classic misdirection. When fans are very focused on something that you're not able to deliver, you show them something flashy, (totally unrelated) but flashy enough to make them forget what they were really interested in before.

Is the video done with the old or new graphics engine? I cant imagine it is what we have at the moment, all the smoke effects would bring my game to a crawl (or at least it does when dust from the prop appears).

Looks great, happy to see the numbers are looking good!

Great news on the Graphics updates!

Cheers!

excellent news about the added control over tanks, looks very impresive.

hope in the final version the vehicles leave tracks in the grass/mud/ground, it looks veru odd without it (and this element was working in previous similar ground vehicle movement examples we have seen earlier)

what type of control over these vehicles will there be ? single vehicle, groupd of vehicles in one unit with AI commands, or is it all under scripted AI control with a single player vehicle we can hop into ?

will we be able to control single artillery pieces and batteries of artillery as a unit to ?

need....... grafix......... engine.........patch........ soon,........ going stir crazy with the low current performance of the flightsim aspect of BoB

Even better than last weeks update! Thanks B6 and luthier! It's like a dream come true, tank and flight sim combined, made by MG! I will need only one game for the rest of my life if these new features will come to fruition. Oh! and the patch progression was also interesting to hear about. Looking forward to it.
