I don't have the latest information from the Ilya on these issues, sorry.

will we be able to control single artillery pieces and batteries of artillery as a unit to ?

We still have not decided

I can not understand what the "ETA"?

Infantry - this is a very heavy load on the engine and FPS, it's a big question.

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

This problem will be solved in the future, I do not know the specific dates.

1) we have not thought about it
2) out of the car - not sure
most likely it will be done in the same way as the transition from the plane to the plane

Thank you)
It all depends on the programmers, perhaps in the next few days.
Ilya still does not say anything to me about it...

Recruiting Soon!

Sorry but i cant believe that this is an update info of an incoming patch of a flight sim... sorry again.

[NaBkin]

Do you guys really think (it's a serious question) that a Game/Sim could satisfy plane AND tank enthusiasts?
If I think on Tiger Vs. T34 - all the stuff like DM, sound, physics in a Flightsim on a nowadays rig? No way if you ask me... however I hope that they'll make a perfect flightsim and add some tanks and stuff to sell more copies of the game. If this is satisfying for tank fans is a whole other story though...

Quantity over Quality

IMO the answer is no. Sadly.

Why complain so much? The game as it is now is way better then anything out there. Any other dev that got their product shoved out the door would just leave the mess and walk away. Just be happy it was made at all. And be even more happy that they are providing patches. Then cry with tears of joy when you realize they are providing you weekly updates with what is going on.

Thank you for the update.

If the ground vehicle aspects were a third party (or even in house) addon at a later stage with a fettled game I would support them. As it is the current position gives me real concern as to the direction the development is going in.

As to fundamental realism aspects like tree collision I am encouraged that it will be addressed but again, when things like that are missing and i'm watching a tank battle in the game I've got to wonder if the priorities are right here.

Anyway, back to lurking.
