"Wings" Of Prey (PC). Watchout Oleg!

[jt_medina]

Hi there!,

I bought a few days ago WOP and the only thing I can say is I am sold.
Like many here we have been flying IL2 series for years now, but its true that Wings of Prey despite it is in beta stage they are doing pretty well.

Wings of Prey is clearly behind of IL21946 in terms of AI, flight model and multiplayer but I guess this is gonna change once they start patching it after beta.
When the first IL2 was released it also had a lot of glitches and flight model also had problems.(I bought it first day it was released by the way )

We should feel happy that someone else is interested to deliver a decent sim with amazing graphics and a graphic engine that can be run on almost any modern PC, because it is remarkable that those graphics can be ran on a lowend GT220 with 30+ frames maxed out.

I am sure that Mr Oleg will deliver a 10/10 product but given the lack of simulators and given that clearly on this hobby we are 'a few' we should support any new sim on the market.

Something else to say.
From mid November to almost 24 of December those guys have updated WOP with nearly 1.7 GB in patches as far as I counted they have nearly delivered 10 patches in a month which despite it was in beta it is very remarkable the work they have done.

Support it!,

SoW fanboys are setting themselves up for disappointment. People are acting like SoW is going to ship with a brainchip - it's still a game folks, there will be hundreds of things that you will be able to point out that are unrealistic about SoW, just look at the screenshot discussions. Heck I have yet to even see a "flat-bottom" cloud in a SoW screen shot.

*inspired a post for update thread*

Who is acting like SoW will be perfect upon release?

Just a hunch, but flawed or not, I'm guessing SoW ships with a far more advanced flight and damage model than any WWII flight sim to date. I know the all important flat bottom clouds might be absent upon release, but I'm sure they'll be patched in later. If that's not acceptable I'm sure BoP will oblige because...geez...it's pretty!

1) I wouldn`t make any judgment on how SOW will look like just yet and especially compare it with the product that is already gone gold.
2) Comparing a brand new product to 9 year old sim is kinda silly.. Needless to say that IL-2 is still superior to WOP in few departments as was already mentioned.
3) I would love for WOP to succeed, and i hope that developers will not stop in the process of closing the gap between flight sim wannabe and the actual flight sim.
4) Don`t think for a second that Maddox is scared of competition, he will only welcome it... and you know who will win at the end? Us, and only us.
5) Yes, i bought WOP and i think developers did an excellent job and i have a feeling that they will do much more to please air combat junkies. I can only wish them best of luck in their venture.

and finally...
6) Yes i am still alive and kicking Happy New Year all
