2 questions:

-does scoring work differently for tanks etc?

-would it be possible first to drive or be a passanger in a tank/vehicle, exit it near air field, enter a plane and continue playing as pilot? I think this would make some great missions possible (even if knowing how to drive a tank and fly a plane wouldn't be too common IRL

+1 to you my friend

Nice feature by adding the tanks, but not really my cup of tea.
I would love to see more improvements on the flightmodels en FPS instead of infantry and tanks. I really thought i bought a flightsim instead of a tanksim

My mother! This is degenerating in a useless way! I don't want to disrespect to development, but if indicate that if this I sold to my as a Flight Simulator, because before working in tanks and artillery, the aircraft which is really what matters? If you want to make me happy but a tank Simulator, first to what we sold...not be that way want to follow, but many feel cheated...and stating that I speak on behalf of many, which do not dare to say so for fear of expelled them to the dictatorship that trabe was this implemented in this forum...I like what you do, but everything has its priority, and in this case, they are the aircraft and some bugs, and I want to be able to fly the Bf 108 or He115, because they do not develop these aircraft cabins? to clear! are not interested in truth...to my me cost € 70 my version collector of a flight simulator called IL-2 Cliffs of Dover, not named, PzKpfw IV Ausf A Cliffs of Dover...


Good luck and good luck to us fans of the IL-2 series, among which I am I!


I repeat, I speak on behalf of many people that think like me but does not want to tell...and now...expel me as they are doing lately with everyone who says what he thinks...

Because most of us are grown up enough to realise that the team ARE working hard on the flight sim aspects (as plainly obvious from last weeks update) and a separate team is implementing the long planned ground-based items which are very impressive and praise worthy in their own right.

Implementing the tanks takes NOTHING away from the improvements to AI, comms, FM, DM etc. Different skills, different teams.

You guys are unbelievable. You whine like mad when the devs show us nothing and throw everything back in their faces when they do make an effort to show how the product is progressing. Credit where credit is due.

Based on some of the replies thus far.. I think 1C should be handing out free hoodies like this with the weekly updates

there is no need for snide remarks directed at those that welcome seeing these new elements

in the last 5 or 7 yrs extensive discussion took place in the main il2 forums, and between oleg and his supporters on what main elements the sim should expand into for broader gameplay in the next series, and integrated battlefield management is one of these (this will NOT include 1e person shooter role or infantry, but would include some limited vehicle and some ship control (other new elements wil be, 24/7 dynamic campaighn server, extensive ground AI routines of both civilian and military elements (oleg even showed london busses running on a timetable on preset circuits for ex), and several others

large parts of these elements have already been built into the sim in previous yrs and now some of these new elements need (relatively) little time to bring to completion, and work on them IS NOT DONE BY THE SAME PEOPLE that work on recoding the new gfx engine or are fixing flight models.

so why complain at great new features being added ? BoM being a land based conflict with extensive ground elements (rather then BoB being mainly aerial) is the logical next project to start adding them in, hence they are now broadening the content and will hopefullly attract a new fanbase rom the tank sim crowd. oleg always stipulated the SoW/il2 series would remain a flightsim primarely and that will be its main focus and orientation, the other elements will just complement it (and wont be modeled to the same degree of detail)

rejoice, for its all good !!

Thanks for the update!
Looking forward to see someday walking pilots. So you can theoretically walk back to your aerodrome after bailout and to the next plane.

But I want to point it out one more time: What about tree collision?? We really need this feature
