Ah, well hearing this makes me feel better. I download the game, can't wait to try it. I hope they get their vision going, having player control tanks and ground forces as well.

Looks to me they are competing or will be competing with Wargaming.net (World of Tanks), but they are taking a different approach it seems. Aircraft first, and I have to say their attention to detail and content seems to be much better than wargaming's.

Looks interesting. How does the flight model and damage model compare to that of il2 1946?

On full realism people often have a hard time getting engines started and properly taking off.

That said, a lot of planes are still incomplete and borrow characteristics from others. Damage can disrupt or disable flight controls and if hit in the right spot, can completely shear wings or the fuselage, or even detonate the engine. Holes in your plane from excessive hits cause it to fly worse because of the screwed up aerodynamics. Backwash from oil leaks can cover the cockpit canopy. It's pretty intensive.

Recently a lot of bombers became much more vulnerable for some reason, but they were probably too resilient before.

Have to admit I've been tooling around with it for a few hours. Last couple of days I seemed to be meeting nothing but FW190s and equivalents. Bit of a bastard to take on with my poor Gladiator, or even Hurri Mk I...

Yes. There is a problem right now. Balancer of matches seems to work poorly or not work at all. Sometime it will be fixed. Just need more players for his good work.

Followed today by meeting a pair of Me-262s while I was gaining altitude in my poor little Blenheim. I started with a nice height advantage, but that lasted about 30 seconds. At least one of them was prowling around, practically untouchable, most of the round. Bastard!

I once participated in a fun battle. This was Korea. Last Russian Mig-15, we have 5 aircraft. Can not catch up with him and he was not about to give up of course :D We decided to cooperate and wait for him near landing strip when he goes to refuel. And he did it, he flew low, about 600-800 meters. I attacked him with my Airacobra(р-39) on top with the excess of about 1500 meters in a dive. The second member of the team in airacobra(p-63) attacked from the rear-top. I just caught it slightly and went upstairs, my teammate set him on fire after a hit of 37 millimeter. It was great.
