[Oktoberfest]

And what would be the effect of an MG FF round on a civilian ? Parts flying around ? A leg cut ? Face burned ? Can you also strafe animals, like cows and dogs ? Or to model the blitz more accurately, can you bomb women and children ? That would be sooo much more realistic IMO ! What a joy to see limbs flying appart !

Sorry, but I prefer some restrictions.

hmmm.

theres a lot of talk about all kinds of obscure detail being included in the sim.

i hope the devs focus on air to air intricacies, and -NOT- stupid shite such as walking back to base after bailing out, or populating any number of coastal defences.

Or, any such nonsense.

Please Oleg, give us a fighter sim that doesnt pander to minutia.

If SoW end up like a Doom 3 copy, I will pass this "sim" altogether.
I have absolutely no understanding for people "enjoying" simulation of how bodies gets ripped to pieces, displaying all kind of body fluids/parts.

I get sick to my stomach at the cinema's if I see a movie with all that gore and a dude in front of starts to laugh and say "wooo cool". I am not squeemish, but I think that is just sick.

Are you seeing HBO´s "The Pacific"?
That´s a good representation of real war.
I don´t think we really need that in a combat flying sim.
I like the simulated combat,like a chess game.
"REAL" war is no funny stuff at all.

+2. Highly doubt that we will see that from OM, rightly so.

It's entertainment, it's no secret that blood, violence and gore sells and the market is obviously big enough for it.
A game like DOOM without gore , horror and physiological effects would be useless since it's the whole point of a horror,survival / brutal game.

How this type of game even can be mentioned in the same sentence as SoW is a mystery for me, why in the world would SOW turn out to be a gorefest?
But there are cases when gore adds to realism in a decent way , look at Red Orchestra or Brothers in Arms etc you see limbs torn apart since its a common thing of war..

I wonder where's all this discussion about gore and limbs flying around is coming from? Was that suggested?

Is it really that black and white? Either bulletproof doubledeckers and superman-civillians or eyes popping out and people getting decapitated?

It's already established there will be no blood, some aren't aware of that while others are just speculating on what the best way to handle civilians, pilots, and animals dying would/should be.

I have to say that whilst we are pretty tolerant and positive, patience is running a bit thin after several years.

Please give us a clue Oleg.

I think we probably test Oleg's patience more than he tests ours.

Is that really true? As much as I admire Oleg, and I do, we are his prospective customers. We should not be afraid to ask him. We are not waiting for a free patch. We test his patience by asking one question again and again. He tests ours by not answering it but expects us to buy it.... eventually, if we haven't gone off and bought something else.

If he is afraid of competition, or fears for commercial secrecy, the competition have had more than enough time to get in ahead of him.

Can he really not even tell us what year it will be out?
