2. Rubbish release statement with misleading information.

3. Main attractive features of this 'sim' not included on release. i.e. dynamic campaign, dynamic weather andpotentially correct engine sounds (as they seem to be covert about this aspect).

4. Published by Ubi.....DRM crap

5. Silent Hunter 5 philosophy of releasing a half-finished product with the intention of introducing said features in point 3 at a later date (possibly by means of a paid addon) however if the game does not sell well it may be abondoned by Ubi like SH5.

IMO it would seem that Il2 1946 still surpases this title in all but AI (which has yet to be proven) and graphics.

Therefore, not a day 1 punchase for me...

They havent sold it to me with all the backtracking they seem to be doing

I'm not sure you would qualify anyway. This sim is for adults only.

Adults don't judge each other either, everybody is entitled to their opinion without being slandered.

I'd like to imagine that the apparent palette changes in the video from bright to blue-y inside the cockpit are a result of flying in and out of cloud shadows.

Anyone else?

It is sad how people can come off as completely immature asshats. Some people have no concept of the pitfalls and delays of complex development projects. Its no wonder that most developers can't be bothered posting info and having to weed thru crap posts like some here.

People can reply in any way they like since its their opinion on the info and material they have seen so far isnt it? Negative replies are needed to have positive at all. And besides as long as negative isnt disrespectfull there is nothing wrong with it.

The sim will need to be finished prob 3 weeks before the release date to get the pressing of disks and distribution done.
