The more I think about it..

Maybe the manable ground stuff is NOT intended to SELL it to us (flight simmers), but to SELL it to investors?

Thinking back, all the vehical 3D art we saw in this video has been done for a very long time.. Thus no real effort lost in drawing a wellington.. The effort (time, money) lost of late is making these things manable.

So looking at it from the point of view that 1C is trying to keep investors happy.. i.e.

1C -> Investors: Hey you all know how much $ is being made by games like BF3.. Look we can do the same thing with our game engine with every little effort

If that is what 1C is doing.. Than I am all for it!! Get the investors to invest, and get the BF3 noobs that like to drive jeeps online.. Just more targets!
