Hi there!,
I bought a few days ago WOP and the only thing I can say is I am sold.
Like many here we have been flying IL2 series for years now, but its true that Wings of Prey despite it is in beta stage they are doing pretty well.
Wings of Prey is clearly behind of IL21946 in terms of AI, flight model and multiplayer but I guess this is gonna change once they start patching it after beta.
When the first IL2 was released it also had a lot of glitches and flight model also had problems.(I bought it first day it was released by the way
)
We should feel happy that someone else is interested to deliver a decent sim with amazing graphics and a graphic engine that can be run on almost any modern PC, because it is remarkable that those graphics can be ran on a lowend GT220 with 30+ frames maxed out.
I am sure that Mr Oleg will deliver a 10/10 product but given the lack of simulators and given that clearly on this hobby we are 'a few' we should support any new sim on the market.
Something else to say.
From mid November to almost 24 of December those guys have updated WOP with nearly 1.7 GB in patches as far as I counted they have nearly delivered 10 patches in a month which despite it was in beta it is very remarkable the work they have done.
Support it!,
