Interesting and appreciated update.
If the ground combat aspect can be implemented without detracting from the core flight sim, then it will be fantastic. I can see the scenarios that could come of this already and, if it works properly, it will change the way we look at WW2 air combat simulation. The ability to actually co-ordinate with human played ground units to accomplish a mission will add a depth of purpose to online play the likes of which we have not experienced.
However, this progress must not come at the expense of the core air combat simulation. We already know how long it takes to develop new aircraft for the sim, adding the ground element will only increase the need for new aircraft types. Can this be done in a timely, and accurate manner?
Only time will tell.
I hope they can pull it off.
