When SOW is released I will stop playing IL2/1946.
Mods or not, there is no way that the current engine will be able to compete with the new one. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clueless, or a hopeless fanboy of aircraft types that won't be in the initial SOW:BoB release. The current mods are just OK, and even with the beginnings of a QC program in the mod community that is taking place now, it will be too little, too late, once SOW hits the shelves. Just my opinion, but I've been around the sim long enough to have a fairly clear picture of what will pan out towards the end of this year. My only question is, Spitfire or Defiant?

I had a theory that Oleg's "news black-out" was, in part, do to the modding scene... I believed that Oleg was trying to keep a few surprises under wraps in an effort to preserve the uniqueness of "SOW" upon its release. What do you think?

I had a thought about the new improved "damage Model"...while I think that we can all agree that this feature should add to the immersion of combat. I predict a whole new category of forum arguments where people bitch about the robustness of individual mechanical components under damage...and people looking for credible facts on the issue.
[Example] "The P-51's radiator might have been that delicate, but the oil system would never have broken like that when over heated"... or The pilot armor (strong) is too big on the FW190... Obviously I know these planes will not be in the first "SOW"...but you get my meaning. The increased damage model will bread "half baked" ideas and paranoid theory's... |
