Why does it become "arcade" when they add human control of tanks and AA guns?

They believe that the twenty guys working on the air aspects of the sim have stopped work to watch a guy or two working on the ground aspects.

What's he mean when he says "Black Death" That's what the Germans use to call IL-2s. Is that the new tittle for Battle For Moscow or something?

Stop with the common sense and logic, Chivas. You might hurt some fragile minds here.

I really appreciate all the developers are trying to do. If they can pull all this off on top of creating a world class combat flight sim that works, has great sound, FM, AI, DM, stability, etc, etc, etc...more power to them. I love everything about WWII fighters. Tanks, trucks, ships, etc are all nice but PLEASE don't give us a long list of other game elements that almost work before you fix the basics.

Thanks again Luthier and company for your efforts.

I don't reckon many would really think that. However some may consider that those one or two guys are sucking up wages and development costs that might have been spent on people who can further the title as a flight simulator.

Look, if playing crazy taxis in a bunch of tanks that handle like something from the Medal of Honour franchise is your idea of a cutting edge flight simulator, good on you. For myself I do not think it is a mature decision, especially at this stage of the titles development.
