Friggin awesome!

So much more than I expected both that a lot of the FM is rewritten and that there are A BUNCH of driveable vehicles! With interiors! Newer would have dreamed about this!

To everyone concerned that they put effort into this I'm pretty sure this is what they wanted on day one but they where simply not done at that stage and focused on the base stuff that is the flight sim.

Like others say, this really opens up for adding infantry and then you have a complete war simulator to take on ARMA, but with real flight models for aircraft! In a few year their attention to detail will probably give us tanks that are of the same quality and they may sweep the floor with the competition as they have a map that is hundreds of times bigger than the competition from the likes of ARMA... And then just think of the people talking about the "huge" battlefields of BF3

And just think of the immense broadening of the customer base! All the tank simulator people, and maybe even the ground combat folks! If they just get the basic model working and don't overdo the models too much they can start pushing out more vehicles...

Awesome...

With the computer on the verge of a giant leap forward using memristor technology, all will be possible.

Its a huge step up from just being 'il2 the flight sim' now, its on a whole new level.

What's that sound? Is that whinning? Where's it coming from? Wait! It's coming from ....... ME! Really? I thought I had bought a World War 2 Flight Simulator. Now I find that all the resources of 1C have been directed towards the creation of manable AA guns and being able to drive vehicles around the countryside. Really?

This is what we get instead of MORE flyable aircraft? And everyone here is falling all over themselves patting 1C on their collective backs? Really?

I don't normally complain about what goes on here. Lord knows there are plenty of whinners to fill the void without my 1 Pence. But I find it sad given ALL the great work 1C has done on this WW2 Combat Simulator to see where it has gone. This sort of reminds me of my ancestors as the European traders offered us trinkets and beads for nothing really. Are these our trinkets and beads?

For me it feels like we are being sent to a divert field. We'll see.

Awesome!! That'sa very impressive vid Cheers!

[ATAG_Bliss]

Now this is awesome!

Tanks only server anyone?

[ATAG_Dutch]

Heh!

Certainly opens up the possibilities for a 'BlitzKrieg' simulation, and consequently a 'Retreat to Dunkirk' simulation.

Battle of France anyone? And of course Barbarossa on land as well as in the air.

Just as long as the aircraft perform properly that is......

[Damixu]

w(.Y.)t!!!!!!!

More than awesome news.

Finally the dream comes true! Combined Arms simulator competing with WW 2 Online (and upcoming Heroes & Generals).

Just think?

Problem is all I 'can think' of is how unrealistic the flight sim aspect of all those game are that you mentioned

This 'dream' of an all in one (army, navy, airforce) game has been around for years.. But of all those who have tried have failed.. Failed with regards to realism, not failed with regards to making money.

I know 1C has high standards.. but when you try to 'streach' that across doing army, navy, and airfoce something has to give

I hope 1C can do it.. But I have my doubts
