Well I spent my money on knowing what this sim will turn into based on all the WIP updates I've seen for years, fully aware that this stuff will all take time to get polished and working correctly, just as the decade old IL2 did. Thankfully, I actually know what WIP means.

Sorry if you can't be patient or have a little faith. Perhaps go back and check some of the updates of this game, then go back and look at the updates from old IL2 (bugfixes etc.) and see just how close they are to each other out of the gate. If you think IL2COD is over the instant BoM is released then I don't think you know much about this community or the prior history of the IL2 series.

Very cool. I was wondering when this aspect of the sim might show up... I know Oleg had talked about it years ago but I had wondered if it had fallen by the wayside. The tank thing isn't as exciting to me as the controllable AAA possibilities. We've always discouraged vulching online as it was unfair in some dogfight server environments.... perhaps this may change things as humans can take control and defend the airfield before flying the next sortie.

Interesting possibilities and I think this is an interesting direction to go in. I still want the focus to be on the air... but seeing as the IL-2 series has nearly always been tactically oriented I can only see good things from a better modeled ground war.
