It is foremost a combat flight simulation. What i fear is that tank lovers will start whining over missing features and whatnot. While the whole idea of a online war is very intriguing, will computers and so on manage to handle such complexity if tanks and other units would get the same quality?

Sadly, it is unavoidable. If the code, the graphic engine is good, it should handle ground action well. I mean today`s hardware is much much faster than in 2005 right? Tank battles will be the core of whining. It already was in old IL2. You had a King Tiger and T34-85 fighting on a 500m distance and the t34 won most battles. This means blue side loses sector/airfield/city so it has big repercusions on the flying. Which of them have enough armor to sustain a direct 20mm AP hit from above diving aircraft? Why is my tank so slow? And so on.

I mean I am a fan of the game but I tend to think that it is too much for such a small team
