I hope they don't use the same AI as ROF, because I'm about fed up with the radar-assisted aiming. EVERY time I get shot at it's a $&@%ing headshot. :furious

AH and ROF are the benchmarks, not because of the flight models, because you can log on and fly a plane :old:

Its a cultural problem the Russians dont know a thing about customer relations.


We have a lot of Eastern Europeans in the UK  :old:

Pretty.

But for a number of reasons it has no draw for me.

Very.

I wish that HTC would do some work on the sky/sun.  They could make the game much less cartoony simply by improving those elements.

And would love some winter maps, or maps that have winter areas.

I will probably check out this game when it releases.  I like RoF, so I am willing to take a look at this one.

With RoF team behind it. I immediately bought the premium edition with all the planes... on the spot. And when I started her up. Frame rates were smooth, flight model perfection and just the right amount of difficulty to both experience the sim aspect and the flight "game" aspect.

When this is complete it will be the best flight simulator on the market today. Aces High excepting of course. But even then not by much

An unbalanced time period at that.  I don't generally like flying for the Germans, but I also don't fancy trying to use a LaGG-3 or Yak-7 against Bf109G-2s and F-4s.  Sounds like....suicide.

The other reasons are that I don't like their business model, if it is going RoF's model, and that my current computer cannot handle those kinds of graphics.  While the computer problem can be remedied the business model one cannot.

Yeah, I don't care for RoF's model. I went ahead and bought the premium version, but I haven't bought one additional aircraft. If you're already charging $60 for the game, how many copies do you really need to sell to cover all the development costs?

Their forum states eventually there will be 100 player servers. 100 players are plenty. ROF is a good enough game that I will keep an open mind to this. Theres a thread in their forum that suggests the BOS will not be as pure sim as COD was/is. Which is fine by me as I dont want to sit there and play with start up procedures for 10 mins. http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/146-what-we-know-so-far-battle-stalingrad/

I wont buy it until actual release and feed back. But the BOS is of significant interest for a great flight game. We'll see. 777 is the only thing giving this bunch legitimacy.

At least some good news on the genre front.
