I'm having alot of fun beta testing WOP and I'm getting the game for ten bucks less than non beta testers. They actually paid me 10 bucks for something I would have done for nothing. If this is BS then I want more of it. I didn't pay to beta test IL-2, but had to pay full price for the sim when it was released. No problem there either as I enjoyed the months of beta testing IL-2, especially as there were very few bugs compared to most beta tests.

you guys gone from reality playing virtual entertainment games. Such moment you want everything should be realistic. Determine yourself.
You can make "origame-ayercrafft" using A4 paper. And push it on air by da wind. It's free an funny.
Also you can buy RC-model of lovely aircraft for $250-$600-$... and get more satisfaction.

WoP is best of "aircraft-simulation-game" what U can get right now. What U waiting for?

[robtek]

An REAL aircraft-simulation-game!!

Why all the dark gradient edges and borders?

WOP looks good, now we should all understand why Oleg hasn't been an open book about what will be in the BOB SOW.

I don't blame him a bit. There is always someone looking to take away your candy.

...and there's the "surpise" factor.

Would you actually be surprised if they gave away everything we'll have in Storm of War? They want high levels of WTF?!ing going on after the release, and some secrecy helps on this matter.

Just give them time. Anyone remember how surprised you were when you saw some of the interviews Oleg and Ilya gave, where they told little features, nothing really big? Well, if we were that impressed with that, no doubt we'll be even more impressed after the release.

F****** guaranteed, trust me .

Good for you lucas

I've been IL2 since 2001 and I can tell you with no hesitation.
Oleg has never failed to deliver far and away more than was ever expected.
A very sincere man about his work, which means the SOW final will probably just blow everyone away.

Well, in the Il-2 years, you never expected to be blown away. When you expect to be blown away, 99% of the time, you aren't.

"Yes those riverbanks will definitely enhance the feeling of flight .... "

I thought your whole argument was the WoP had the best detail/presentation/realism. Now suddenly it doesn't matter? To me this seems self-contradictory. Also, WoP hasn't demonstrated a superior "feeling of flight", especially when it's obvious that a basic thing as recoil is not implemented. Even worse for the 'immersion' are the American pilots who sound like Homestar Runner. I just can't help but giggle.

Well, I guess I'm an Oleg Fanboi for saying anything to criticize WoP.

I do love the urban riverbanks though: They are built up with stones, not flat beaches like in Il-2. Cities are also dense, which is visually pleasing. Graphics in general are eye-candy and the game is fun too.
