Cliffs of Dover meets World of Tanks. Nothing wrong in that, only that WOT works superb on my PC and CloD doesn't...............

Frigging awesome!

Thank you for the timely update, nice week end and waiting now to see the deliverables (beta patch)!

So much negative thinking here that I get all tired sometimes...

Last week I listened to a seminar by Kjell Enehager, a Swedish golf/athlete trainer that has gone professional management seminar speaker. He had an interesting story about when he trained a Swedish tennis player who never really made it (he has trained a lot of more famous golfers after that). He was playing Ivan Lendl who was a junior then at the same level in a training game. At the end of the training Ivan always liked to do ten serves each... Ivan did one ace in his ten serves and the Swedish player that I dont even remember the name of did nine aces and only missed one serve. After the game Kjell talked to them both about the training and their thoughts. The Swedish guy said he was thinking about what he did wrong with that one missed serve. Lendl at the other hand did not think about the nine missed serves but what he did right with the only serve he did put in the corner... A few years later he was number one in the world, and the Swedish guy that I don't remember the name of had quit playing....

Long way of saying that maybe the glass could be half full after all? Lets give these guys that we obvoiusly beleive in (we are here after all) some slack...

The ground vehicles are fine with me, except I don't know how we apply them in the Battle of Britain.

Where were there ground battles?

They are probably intended for the BoM. But when the sequel comes out we can use them to create "what if" scenarios in CloD. Lots of people like that kind of thing.

True That!

Take IL-2 46 for example.. Lot's of what if content there

Yeah, intriguing possibilities like 'what if' Britain actually had a half decently represented Royal Navy in the game, and 'Kanalkampf' could be accurately represented, etc. (jk, but true. )

@Chivas, no....not everyone thinks that all work is stopped on the flight sim aspects at all mate, as Feathered pointed out, and I agree with him.

@Bliss and Ace, chaps please leave it out with the petty name calling, there's no need for it and its school yard stuff really. That's what I was referring to earlier, and it happens like clock work. It probably intimidates some too (not I....lol, just don't see the point in tit for tat really) and stops them posting what they really think because they'll think its not worth the hassle. Disappointing, really. We are all on the same side as regards the flight sim aspect, we are all fans and want the franchise to do well. Just different views.

Easiest thing in the world to throw insults about when others hold a view different to your own. Its pretty weak to be honest.

Thats all, I'll tune in next week and look forward to the patch.

Cheers.

B6 : May I say that the whistle on the train sounds very American.
British train whistles tend to be a single tone and higher. None of this vulgar, colonial multitone showiness

Don't get your hopes up, but I'm sure your theory is very much correct.
On the other hand, most often only one opinion is allowed here.

That's very true Orville but I strongly believe that the ranks of the Royal Navy will be filled quite quickly once the SDK is released. I know it isn't ideal having to rely on community work to fill the gaps but in reality, there is a shed load of work required to model these ships in all their detail and the devs could never devote precious resources to that - imagine the outcry then.....I bought a flight sim and you give me the Atlantic Fleet!

In a way this would be better as in the long run it is the only way we're going to see some significant ships modeled due to the rights issues over in the US. Probably not a Royal Navy issue but an issue non the less.

I really do think this thing will start snowballing once the stability and FPS issues are sorted out and the SDK released. The future looks very bright in my eyes.

Let's see where the patch takes us.
