[BigC208]

Great update. I remember playing Aces High years ago and enjoyed jumping in a flak position to defend a base from paratroopers. The ground enviroment in Clod is so nice it would be a shame not to be able to roam around in it.

Tree's right though when he expects/wants the flying side of the game to be stutter free and optimized before any ground expansions arrive. I personally think the ground stuff won't show up before the game's optimized. It's slow and stuttery enough as it is now on anything but the fastest hardware.

It (ground vehicle sim) may be a good move to get a wider audience onboard if they make it as realistic and detailed as the flying part is right now.

I still see people asking for a realistic weather system every now and then. Weather killed more pilots than enemy action so if it's realistically bad you won't be able to fly a lot of the time on the Eastern front. Make it realistic looking but without killing the framerates. I thought the nasty weater in Il2 makes it hard enough to accomplish a ground attack mission as it is. Not sure if it's worth all the recources to make realistic weather. Maybe 4 or 5 years down the road the hardware can do it all, right now it can't.
