Seriously, will the bombing and straffing come randomly in your missions?

More importantly will we will be able to shoot them down with our tank mgs?Will there be dogfights between Luftwaffe and Sov air force?

This will be in addition to the artillery strikes?

I want a transfer to the West front ; shooting cows for practice in Normandy is starting to look better everyday!!!!

Bravo Zee the developers would not recognise their game.You are widening the scope and modding it into a real WWII sim with all the elemnts that other sims don't offer.

Forwaerts ! Hem to the bomb shelter....

Hi frinik,
I am working on the ground forces response with necessary and historical
weapons. I do not want the aircraft to steal the show - just make a convincing bombing run.
I think the best thing for us is if our fighter aircraft remain dominant so we can expect some air cover.
There is no intention to do more then the basic hit and run tactics from the air strikes.
But it must be mentioned that this is no easy task. Just getting the aircraft
to look real took a couple of weeks of tweaking and testing. Damage control
and new crash and burn FX will be more then a hill for an old mountain
climber like me
This new addition was motivated by the desire to get Kursk more in line with a historical environment.
It really deserves my best efforts.
So I need you to hang in there with me frinik don't lose heart now because
it's starting to really look like a WWII Tank sim

Vorwärts Kameraden!

Me losing heart? I would need to have one to lose it in the first place

No worries I just ordered my Bofors 20 mm quad Flak gun through a mail order catalogue.Bring them on ILs, SUs, Yaks and Migs

That's great stuff because indeed air strikes were part and parcel of Kursk in addition to rockets and artillery strikes which you already implemented.

This sim is becoming more and more complete and complex.I'll start playing IL2 again just to pratice my AA shooting

Excellent work Zee we are with you( this message was sent from a blackberry located in an air raid shelter)

Cheers

Listen man, you have stated your opinion, we all listened and gave our opposing views. But your posts on the this thread are reaching an attacking level, and I will tell you the same thing I told dougandtoni.

please, just cool your jets, this is supposed to be a people friendly site. If you have a beef with anyone, take it up with them over PM.
I have nothing against you but I really have to warn you that you have one foot stepping on a line we don't want members to cross. I will let you know that if you keep up what you are doing there is a chance you will get brig time, or keelhauled, and I don't want that for anyone who just stated their opinion.

So please, I'm respectfully asking you to calm down, I don't want this to turn into a flame war or for anything to escalate further.

I will also be editing your post to remove anything offensive, like zee and I did with the other posts. Please understand, we just want to put this behind us, so we can continue to admire Zeewolf's work, whether or not we are buying it, for whatever reason we will or won't.

People use to say that I'm one of the most patient moderators here, but you are giving me a lesson or two on self-control with this, Sledge

I would probably have already taken some more drastic measures.

Those aircraft sure look awesome, Zee, can't wait to see them all in game. Stukas have me pretty excited, and perhaps an Hs-129? Just kidding, you already have quite a line up, but what if... Anyways, keep up the good job as usual, and look forward to seeing more.

Thanks Luftace,
Already having success with new bomb types.
The new fab 250Kg bombs are devastating and the
much larger blast is a masterpiece.
As far as am concerned, if it is historically accurate
(and I have the model) it's going in.

Impressive Zee!Any plan to make one of them birds playable????


When you say they are ready to be introduced does it mean that we can expect them to be part of the next Kursk mission to be released Zee?

Hi frinik,
Sorry man non-playable aircraft only - well at least until we each get a
Cray supercomputer But I do have to say these planes are polygon lite
and are not much extra GPU work and I mean to keep them that way too.
But Kursk needs aircraft and Luftace requested a Henchel 129 Panzerjager.
I just finished reading about them and they were definitely at Kursk in a
special unit that was organized for the battle and stationed around Kharkov.
So, if someone wants to contribute a Hs 129 model that would be
great.

This aircraft deal has added to my work load, but I think I can complete a
substantial amount to add to the new re-worked Kursk missions.

Hey ZW I am back. Work, family and life have been keeping me busy for almost the whole year, but I remembered about your project the other day.
WOW Man have you been busy! I reloaded TvT and donated tonight.
I can't wait till I get my e-mail

I ended up buying a new Win7 machine and hope to stop the "red wave" very soon

God bless and I will be around more

I have played this now for a while but have to say the frame rates are really stopping my enjoyment of this game, i have i think an average computer:

i7 2.8 overclocked to 3.8
6g ram
ati 5870

I get frame rates 6-9 on most of the new missions but with all the settings pulled to the left it seems to make little difference. It is almost a slideshow.

How do you guys get on with it? Any tips?

Hi Bert66,
With all the info supplied it sounds like you may have damaged something
in your overclocking
