If they manage to pull this off.... i have nothing to say. Engine that could be used for all of the scenarios Oleg mentioned... speechless, really.

Oh, but i do know of one FS with far better AI that from what IL2 has

This is the best interview that I have read to date, very little dodgeing and weaving. Every answer full of information for the future of SOW. The 60% content vs. time statement is reassuring to me. I think SOW will be bigger that FS, and in much much less time.

Nice article. I find this quote interesting:

"All the (veteran) pilots do agree on one other thing, that a table-mounted joystick feels very different from a floor-mounted control stick."

That's exactly why I started building a simpit. I don't really want to build a huge cockpit in my room, but it was the only way to implement a proper floor-mounted stick.

And this:
"The same will be the case with BoB. We won’t balance anything to keep the sides equal online. Anyway, it’s not the plane, it’s the pilot. You win by working together in a group, using superior tactics, and knowing your plane’s capabilities."

Very well said!

A: Oh really? Have you seen better AI in any other sim? Generally, it was offline gameplay that drove most of our sales, and not the online modes.

I doubt it was meant in the present day context , rather at the time it was the best AI.




Thanks for the detailed translation Luthier

Thank you Luthier for the translation.

And thank you Oleg for providing us with a wonderful update.

WoW! That is probably the most detailed information Oleg has shared with us thus far. Sure a lot of it he mentioned before but not this detailed.

Amazing stuff and the combat flightsim genre could not look any brighter IMHO!

Thanks for sharing!
