LOL ! Thats a riot man !

Still though it would be a real shame for the Sim community not to support this game. It is using the Il2 1946 flight models and though its not as hard core as 1946, its right under it by a notch or two.

We need to support any game that comes to our sim commuinity, especially one that has a Dev team that is willing to give their time and energy to make the game the way we want it. These Dev's are trying to do just that.
Wop is a work in progress still and they have stated that if we support them they will do their best to make WOP grow and change to everything we want it to be. I have been a sim fan for 30 yrs and sometimes I see people in our community that are so impatient and picky that I hold them at the top of the list for why our Sim industry is in such bad shape. They pick and gripe about everything instead of supporting a game and doing everything they can to make it become a much needed franchise in the Sim scene. Then inturn I hear these same people gripe about how flight Sims are a dying breed !
It really amazes me.

I hope everyone will support this game by buying it and then I hope they will go to the WOP forums and give their opinions on how the dev's can make WOP better. We can never have to many good sims !

Thanks for your time and consideration , Desode

I don't think I will buy it... it's OK for others to support the game if they can but I have to make some choices between priorities .

The game does look refreshing over standard IL-2 even moded... some classes in visuals but...


There are some things quite annoying in it, to be fair... the over exaggerated bloom (which the developer said in SimHQ interview that will not change and which is enough for me not to buy SoW not to mention WoP... I have sensible eyes you know... ), lack of options in many regards... like if you make a mission in Sim mode... the replay is locked in "the cockpit"... which is... dumb? At least in demo is so. Some controls are really funny... like: you have separate flaps controls (up/down) but you have a so called (ridiculous) 'toggle flaps (simulator)"... which in case of the Spit it cycles through combat/take off/landing very conveniently when you need them as opposed to the non sim... up/down that has only raised and landing... doh!

The fact that you get to land only if the map have an airfield and only if you really hurry to the airfield... otherwise it just cuts to the inter mission scene "movie"...

And that milk over England... I hoped it will be a tweak or something but... they said it will stay cause it's realistic... sorry to say... it's not.

Also from the interview I understand it doesn't have even a small QMB... just some 20 mission offline and some online... which is not enough to asure a long life for the game... sadly... and IMHO.
