I don't reckon many would really think that. However some may consider that those one or two guys are sucking up wages and development costs that might have been spent on people who can further the title as a flight simulator.

Look, if playing crazy taxis in a bunch of tanks that handle like something from the Medal of Honour franchise is your idea of a cutting edge flight simulator, good on you. For myself I do not think it is a mature decision, especially at this stage of the titles development.

And we really don't know how old these videos are. They could've been created a year ago ... or the code was in there all the time, and now they merely enabled it to shoot the videos.

Judging by many of the comments here I really think they do. Taking part in a tank battle once is awhile would be ok, but I would primarily enjoy taking out those tanks with my Jabo. Having controllable land assets is alot more realistic and immersive than not having them.

This was part of Oleg"s plan from the beginning, developing a game engine capable of providing Land, Sea, and Air combat, capable of CGI movies, future proofing the game engine by making it modular so it was easier to code in new tech. This will generate new sources of income allowing the developer it stay financially solvent to continue providing new and exciting air combat features for the foreseeable future. Yes its a tall order and one of the reasons the new game engine has taken so long to develop. If it succeeds every combat flight sim fan will benefit.

There u go again, explaining their plan in a way small children would understand.

To bad there isn't any small children here.

Again it sounds all amazing and fantastic, but before shooting for the stars then need to take the training wheels off the pushbike.

Get CLOD fixed and i will be as happy anyone around here with what ever they add in.

Somebody said something about WOT, i checked the numbers and they had 77,000 people playing at 7pm, and that was just the euro server.
So add in the Russian and US servers and it prob topped around 200,000 people playing WOT tonight...just sayin.

Very nice but you guys are losing the real focus. CloD is a flight sim and most of the features are not terminated. FM/DM is not good many things in ACs has no reason of being. Radiator closed/open makes any difference, hand pump is not usefull for nothing etc.. .. I payed for this game and want it fully usefull as a flight SIM. It was intended as a flight sim. Ok after you develop the ACs well no problem in adding new things. To me you just released to capitalize over an unfinished thing...

Now imagine that only 1/100th of those tankers in there are looking for a tank sim that is a little more realistic.. As in having a real internal (cockpit) pov and gunsites to boot.. So many targets.. So many flight sim development dollars for sequals!

[Grifo]

sorry, but i think that who talked about a "tank sim" is wrong: we are all sim fans and think if we drive or fly something it MUST be realistic, otherwise is boring.. 90% people out this forum doesn`t think so and enjoys arcades with consoles. So what about an iperrealistic flight sim completed by a dynamic, arcadish gameplay that makes great possibilities of fun for simmers and gamers at the same time? No one is moving by sim accuracy to arcade style game.. Just blending two things that can walks toghether in a great picture where you will be able to get airborne with full starting procedures and somone will be able to shot you down controlling his AAA whit his joypad.. More players=more money=more great sims. Good luck guys and keep up your great work!

A live ground battlefield , amazing video

Live and dynamic fronts ... real combat air support ... the possibilities in mission building have no limits

I can see missions like air support in A on a tank front-line while in B there a supply´s convoy attack/defend

Amazing possibilities

Now, release the patch in the next week and we´ll live a dream
