Announcement of the game "IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad"

[Osprey]

Part of me is pleased, and I don't mind buying content BUT I am concerned about running servers, scripting and mapping so questions will be asked......

Hm only good news for me BlackSix is back

For the others we will see what the future brings.

If the number of objects in IL2:BoS is as absurd low as in RoF it really doesn't matter how wonderful the planes will be, Eastern Front was a ground war with air support not the other way around, no way to simulate that with the actual RoF engine limitations.

I rarely agree with robtek but this is true. I am concerned about the mapping engine, IL2 is way ahead of ROF when it comes to maps, and the scripting in clod is powerful - We at Storm of War run a custom Fighter Command system in Multiplayer which handles human groups and vectoring information.

This is a message to get across.

Well... we live in hope. Just because ROF can't do these things it doesn't necessarily mean the engine cannot. Fingers crossed and all that! lol
