winnng wars has several factors . . . many factors . . .
and often these factors are lined up like dominos, one factor falling causes others to fall also . . . one of the key was industrialization and supply, of which as been discussed another was the leadership quality (hitler playing general while the allies generally gave their generals and admirals to work) strategy and tactics. the Axis powers had great tactics but their strategy had holes the Allies did not . . . this leads into resource managment, one side managed resources better Controlling the sea . . . (this played more a role in the pacific but played a role in western front), Germany threatened the sea, but didn't control it Controlling the air . . . military strength, economic / industrialization power of allies . . . quality and quantity of troops . . . use the environment / situation (Russian winter etc) . . . one could go endless I could see the Soviet planes getting more love, but as things go on, hopefully the devs will make things historically accurate. It's pointless to argue over something that hasn't happend even if there's a highly likely chance of it happening. -------- back to the topic I don't think the devs will close it, because its not a wild rumor that leads off the path completely, and leads to multiple infractions by participants like the ones they've locked. They may close if people start arguing and breakin rules . . . here It's kind of like earlier, pre B6 times . . . when sukhoi seemed to get news about the new IL-2 over there. but its hearsay, however I do remember the sukhoi news would have some truth when the official dev press release was given . . . I don't know where the rumor started that the devs weren't going to use the game engine that ClOD used . .. Well the devs could either continue to fix or redo a new one with what they learned form the old one. Either way if they learned the lessons, hopefully those will cut down the time and monumentality that designing an engine from scratch or overhauling badly coded one . . . but we can't know and speculate like the following Then there's the devs use the ROF engine. But the ROF engine is not a current engine (this was discussed in IvanK's thread (already), and use it would be reliable but the engine is dated and we are expecting much more. And there would be licensing etc . . . Or ROF team is building a successor engine (and later ROF successor) and IL-2 team will use that or do a join team thing and develop an engine based off the new gen ROF one . . . That might be interesting. Maybe IL-2 devs are looking at what other sim engines do well (like ROF, 1946, DCS must) and figuring their own way to pull it off . .. I don't know but while rumors and speculation can be fun, we won't know until the offical ball drops. But we can only speculate. Still this rumor points in a good direction, that they are working to develop something professional; there isn't levelling up or uber planes, and they aren't going to take money from players so this could mean they aren't having a pay per plane or F2P mmo model where to get the real goodies you have to pony up $ . . . And we have the usual 2 week notice . . . It seems that's a running joke from the devs . . . they'll always say official announcement in 2 weeks whether they are going to or not just for "shits n giggles" But its not comfirmed, so we can only take this with a grain of salt . . .

I was laughing so hard . . . I think it means the devs are aiming for a sim engine that even professional aviators can use for an accurate depiction of flight. I thought about the "Sanchez" Sanchez is that mustache you see most of the Mexican banditos (bandits) sporting in those old westerns or that "sex" move (google it) or Sancho means the other guy (having sex with your wife / gf) or the other guy a woman has on the side (for sex / weird relationship) ---------------- Quote:
I remember on a commentary about Tolkien said its much more divine to create than to make a mockery, so creation, even if its fantasy, is a on higher level while satire, which is a mockery of what has been created is considred a low form and a ride in devil's play ground . . . Quote:
it depends of BoM is successful or not if it is, there's a high probability the Il-2 series will take off and we will see that. I kinda like that version of the Stuka in IL-2 1946; online I'd just fly low and knock off the wheels for better performance and puncture tanks. I like the mixed fight + mud mover missions. I remember I stayed low and all these Mustang dudes were looking for me and couldn't really focus cuz some bad team mates were vulching the crap out of the opposing airfields with their 190s . . .
