There's so much processing involved in a decent combat sim that the PCs will struggle. I think the graphics (when at the best settings) will be great, but when they hit the limit it will be due to PC power, not development resources.

Will have to wait for proper hd ingame vids on max settings to decide.
Its 2011,i know flight/gameplay will be great,just hoping gfx are up to scratch
to add to the immersion.just saying that if the dev team had a bigger budget/resources it could be the best looking combat/flight sim out there.
I know how much processing is involved but with quad core overclocked
processors and sli theres no excuse for poor fps/screen tearing etc.
anywho heres hoping for the best combat sim ever.

I'm sure they will be. But you won't be able to fairly compare graphics from a combat sim with those of a basic flight sim for example.

I expect this will be the best looking combat sim out there as it is.

I think you'll find that limits are due to the PCs we own, not due to the size or budget of the development team. Some of us may have OC'd i7s and SLi, but the game also has to run on lower spec'ed machines too, which puts a limit on what can be included. If you read through all the update threads you'll see where Oleg has given examples of limitations imposed by PC power, such as 3D craters.

Indeed. I have no doubts it will be.
