Maybe that is because you have a different idea of what it should look like?
Probably more cinema-flight-experience than sitting in a real plane?

It may also be related to the fact that BoP has already been released for consoles and is simply ported for PCs, while BoB is still WIP?


Yes, it looks nice, but nice and realistic sometimes are two different things.

As someone who does sit in/fly real planes from time to time = Wings of Prey terrain is both of a MUCH higher quality, and also significantly more realistic as to scale. Nothing wrong with pointing that out. WoP have done a great job in this area and deserve credit.

Interesting.

I rarely experience vignette borders in my field of view when flying and I rarely see brown-yellowish atmospheric fog.




And a Ka-20 sight, not moving on a P-51D5?

Attacking shading and color pallete 'style' choices ????

Your right ..... this is much more realistic

Exactly the view when flying for real at say 700m ......... NOT!

Don't hate dude. WoP did a good job with terrain. No one has done better - not even O-man.

You are truly amazing!

Completely forgetting that the shot from BoB is very early WIP, not even BETA!!!, yet criticizing every little thing you see.

And at the very same time you stand there completely blinded by some overbombastic graphics effects completely disregarding optical, physical and historical realism. Ridiculous, simply ridiculous.

Maybe you should check out HAWX as well, go for action games and forget about realistic simulations at all? You won't be satisfied by BoB if you think that these Hollywood-Effects are realistic.

.... and You are truly blinded.

You can' t give credit to some talented map makers and graphics artists. Not to mention the people who optimized the engine for super smooth play and stability ect ect ..... ect


Its truly beautiful work! Not to everyone's taste but that makes the technical accomplishment no less.

Competition is good. Embrace.

Personally I dream of competing sims. Let them each do their best.

We as simmers can only benefit.

Actually, I never ever said it doesn't look nice. Infact, I did so numerous times before. Feel free to use the search-function to confirm this.
So your personal opinion about me doesn't really fit and it's simply not the point as I would support you 100% if you'd say that it looks fantastic and nice - though it is not realistic.

But you posted that WoP/BoP looks better, more realistic, with better textures, ground- and effects-modeling than BoB ever will and that has nothing to do with admiring great artwork, as you just claimed you do in your last post.

Cool

A pretty face can hide a hideously ugly soul ... WOP was always meant to be an action game and therefore it isn't competition for SoW. Apples and oranges.

My old Quad 9.400 2.66 will still functional and maybe, maybe not be obsolete when Storm Of War will release.

the simulation is very similar that il-2 i read and weather are in some point, very basic. buth the graphic terrain are nice.
