Well, I like it and I understand and somewhat agree with most of the posts concerning ground vehicles but I really don't need full interior models and complex operation on them to enjoy them, though I would like to see more physics modeling, momentum, roll and tumble on destruction, relative speed and maneuvering; tanks are slow, trucks and cars are faster etc.. This could start a RTS aspect to the sim, moving equipment to the front and giving more participation to the different forces in the battle, Artillery and Tanks. Base Protection and Resupply and of course Attacking those things. But we needn't start worrying about having these things complete in full bloom yet they're just thinking of ways to implement them. BF 1942 was and still is a cool concept and it wasn't modeled to simulator standards but it was still fun and on a huge battlefield where I could move forces, raid supply lines and take part in different battles that will be awesome, now if we could somehow merge Red Orchestra into it....

There is a scene in the video where a truck turns too sharp and rolls over

S!

I liked the update and the information provided really gave hope for CoD now Vehicles will be a part of IL-2 series as this was one of Oleg's visions years ago. Foremost I wait for the graphics update and FM/DM update. When those are top notch feel free to add whatever

Thank you and have a nice weekend!

Fantastic! Excellent update BS - many thanks!

Great update. The new flight model info sounds promising. I'm really looking forward to that and more new sounds added to the new sounde engine.

Like someone mentioned above I really don't have a problem with them adding vehicles and thanks, IF they make using them have a PURPOSE. Can I drive a resupply truck to a front line airbase to repair it? Can I drive a tank into enemy territory and "capture" it with a moving dynamic frontline?

If this type of stuff is the point of adding vehicles then I'm all for it. It should bring in more people to play this sim, steal a lot of people from WW2OL. We do want more people to buy this game right? I don't know about you but I'd rather fly with more than 2 people on my team on ATAG server late at night. I just hope they don't make it too arcadey.

It's clear that this game is being put together like a jigsaw puzzle.. and as soon as a lot of people realize that, the sooner they will be able to relax and enjoy the ride... I'm sure these features we probably completed years ago.. and for some reason or another.. have been able to be implemented along the way. I'm sure they haven't just skipped working on radio commands, so that we could hop in a vehicle and tour the English or French country side... Thanks Luthier and B6 for the Great update!

some FM revision is good news, let's see if they nail it on the head his time and correct the AC relative performance data, not just fine tune the existing performance relations.

the vehicles part is nice but not my bread, however CLoD does look good from ground level...

great to see the landscape is looking better then ever, but performance wise it MUST get to acceptable levels or but few will see it in like that (full detail). sound seems to be coming along as well.

it's this jigsaw type development that raises some doubts about the final picture, however i'm expecting a clearer image with the new performance and revisions that should be right around the corner. too long since last downloadable news and ppl are starting to get a bit anxious for improvement.

and for god's sake hope they change the far distant autumn's tree colour (wip i know).
