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!

Whilst the information provided in the update is great, I think the quality of the update itself is the best thing.

Thank you

Good stuff.

Thanks Black 6!

now this is what i call an update !!

looks like 12 months after release things are starting to come together, excellent news on giving control over some ground vehicles and AA guns etc (lets hope tree collision is fixed to by then)

and new grafix engine and reworked flight models are around the corner to, its all good !

time to get the band back together, and dust off the old Hotas again

Interesting and appreciated update.

If the ground combat aspect can be implemented without detracting from the core flight sim, then it will be fantastic. I can see the scenarios that could come of this already and, if it works properly, it will change the way we look at WW2 air combat simulation. The ability to actually co-ordinate with human played ground units to accomplish a mission will add a depth of purpose to online play the likes of which we have not experienced.

However, this progress must not come at the expense of the core air combat simulation. We already know how long it takes to develop new aircraft for the sim, adding the ground element will only increase the need for new aircraft types. Can this be done in a timely, and accurate manner?

Only time will tell.

I hope they can pull it off.

i personaly couldnt care less about this groundaction (how was ist, no time of the 3D artists to make a Wellington flyable but trucks and tanks able to drive.......), but the rest of the update sounds ok , thx.
