Friday Update, February 24, 2012

[III/JG53_Don]

Thanks for the update!
Looking forward to see someday walking pilots. So you can theoretically walk back to your aerodrome after bailout and to the next plane.

But I want to point it out one more time: What about tree collision?? We really need this feature

Thank you for the update. Looks like the beta patch will soon be ready. The video you posted is impressive. I am very pleased to see that tank battles now take place at bigger distances, because in IL2 it was often 50m. The Tigers will PWN everything in our online wars. And I might jump into one sometimes also! It looks like a lot of fun. Though I wonder when will ppl start going up the buildings to get to higher ground lol

Bottom line is, recon boys and mudmoving guys have something special to look forward to.

Tanks and artillery ?

Big problem in IL2 you had to have line of sight between the artillery/ tank... and the target.

There was no trajectory arc possible, just straight line of site shooting and target had to be visible from artillery/tank.

No shooting over hills or landscape at unseen targets.

It would be nice to have real world type targeting, with trajectory arc possible to long range targets.

Real world tanks use trajectory arcs for targeting as well.

Well Orpheus got banned anyway so I guess the rules of the forum are also " Banned if your opinion differs from the mods" I thought the whole point in moving to points base bans was to avoid all this discrimination.

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to have a Battle Of Moscow thread, then BlackSix could put all the updates in there that are relevant to that game, pictures of Il2's etc have nothing to do with Cliffs Of Dover and may confuse any newcomers. If there are no updates for CLOD then fine but personally I find waiting for Friday only to see updates of a future project that I have no interest in is a little frustrating.

well i like it a lot, looks like a whole lot of fun! sounds like the patch is progreeing well, any info regarding the FM work that has been done, the CTD bugs, trees being a solid object, and lastly the radio coms functionality?
As i said before i am really looking forward to the chance to play as part of the ground forces, but do trust that none of this is taking away from the work required on the core sim.

thanks for the steady flow of updates guys!
