Announcement of the game "IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad"

[ATAG_Bliss]

Welcome to a 1v1 dogfight simulator that doesn't even have cockpit damage modeled. If it follows the same ludicrous business model of buying fuel gauges, compasses, gunsights, pistols, ammo, weapons etc, expect an HE111 to cost $200. This is the final nail. The ROF engine is terrible. Vanilla 46 has 10 times the features in the FMB.

Best news ive heard in 2 years.

I guess you missed the part about the DN engine. That's not new. Hence ROF engine. I suggest you learn a bit about it. Run a server for it for a few years etc, the last thing you would say is this is good news for MP.

i think it will now take a concerted effort to see what part of the code can be accessed in CoD to try and improve various elements. beyond that, our best hope might well be the DCS series with their new gfx engine due for release in 2014

Pretty sure they said they are going to make the engine WWII ready, and besides what are your choices Bliss? Clod the Battle of Britian FOR EV ER. Or something that might offer some damned variety.

Here is to hoping that the RoF engine version of the BoB doesn't inexplicably have ridiculous Flak on the French side, or ungodly underpowered British Aircraft.

Still holding a grudge after all this time?

Luke, if you would get off your knees for a second you could go search for the ROF wind bug that has been there since its inception. I believe the thread was almost 50 pages long before it was both recognized by the Devs, then we were told it can't be fixed. I could also be wrong, but wind I'm pretty sure is a pretty important factor on real time dynamic flight models at least in Clod. But ROF's is bugged and their FMs work with it? Lol ok!

Lets see. Cockpit damage / nope. Engine limitations nope. FMB better etc.

Sorry cant see where stating facts is holding a grudge. I'm sorry you are the 777 lapdog and it hurts you when people point out some pretty important flaws in the ROF engine. I remember being told they can't be fixed and from Jason's own mouth "our engine is good. Deal with it". So anyone believing that they can magically fix a problem they've had that they haven't done for 4 years with the same engine just because it will have different planes, is kinda funny.

I like others will wait and see, but that current engine can't even support WWI, let alone WWII.
