Looks like bad news to me. And I was already making party because somebody stated they were 3D.

Oleg, can you please clarify that

Why are those craters so freaking important to you?

It's flight sim, you fly over them - remember?

We already know there will be craters and physical interaction with them; this is purely about the visual representation. And I don't think more than one person in the world cares if they're not made out of polygons as long as they look and work fine.

Hecke are you reading too?


Ever dropped a bomb right at the spawnplace and tried to spawn again the same place?
Il2 has already craters which FU your gear, ergo you dont need high polygon 3d craters for this feature.

And it would be a funny feature for online gameplay(which the only thing I care about):
Bomb both strips - mission over.

Then again I think i've heard the sow landing gear will have suspension - so maybe we still can takeoff wherever we want.


edit: Hecke, you want the deep craters so planes can almost disappear in them, only the tail sticking out?
ok.
fun: 9pts
immersion: 3pts

So we don't need land, we fly over it anyway, right?

You shouldn't have given him that tip. Now he has nothing to brood over.

A plane on the runaway rolls towards a pseudo crater. And then?
Does it disappear in ground or what?

Difficult to know what to take from the google translation about craters - you can read it to mean that the person playing the game just didn't see the craters (eg because they were covered in the smoke and dust of the explosion - as is evident in at least one video)

Sorry, but it seems I just don't get the need that some people have to see an impending crisis everywhere.

Another Dad's Army quote seems apt:

Don't panic! Don't panic!!


coming next: Mainwaring "You stupid boy" - I can probably get the whole platoon in before the game comes out!
