i think the intention of SH5 is to change this.

Why Otto of course !

"So, do you like Gladiator movies?"

(think about it...nice pun involved for a flight sim of that era.....)

Wow, a Gloster Gladiator reference. Nicely done.

Poor little Gladiator, hardly remembered, but was actually a contender against the BF-109 due to its tighter turning radius.

Nice homage to a tough little fighter.

hey guys why so many refrences to ( sub vs plane sims )

this is subsim.com not flightsim.com

Hardly an contender against the 109. The tighter turn radius was it's only advantage, but as someone so rightly put it "In dogfight, speed is life". Being able to outturn your enemy is not relevant when the enemy has advantage in all other areas and ultimately dictates the rules of the fight.

Gladiator was one beautiful plane and did put up one helluva fight, but it had become obsolete years before the start of WWII. It's successes were against the german and italian bombers. Where it was against fighters, it usually came back home badly beaten. Simply put: Gladiators lost virtually all their operations with the planes either falling to enemy hands or being destroyed in the air or in the ground.

Could we just have some descent bloody graphics . Mainly in the sea/ water rendering and landscape/building area . They already said photo realistic subs so i hope this will extend to ships as well .

x10

The landscapes and architecture look like graphics from the early 90's.

Joey... have you ever been locked up for months on end in a Turkish prison before?

whats this got to do with the topicat hand

Maybe they are talking about the graphics in the gladiator game... :hmmm:

Some more comparison with flight simulator of the same generation...

Please take a look at Small barge and Fishing wessel...

I would say (as totally peripheral elements of game) they are at least at SH4 graphic level... so logical question is what is expected from U-boat sim of the same generation ?

:know:

They need to impress that’s for sure. life like is easy these days if they cant do stunning then they have the wrong guys on board. :salute:

Check out ROF (rise of flight) Also includes dynamic lighting and is NOT a birthchild of a major developement team with loads of financial backing.

^^ HA HA i just noticed the post above me....you aren't by chance on the ROF forums are you?

What's RoF like?

Must say I don't like the idea of having to guy extra aircraft through DLC.

One of the greatest games ever done, IMO, was the original Red Baron, even though terribly basic compared with today's tech/graphics. So RoF interests me. Is it largely online MP, or is there a decent SP (I don't like online, generally, as there are so many cheats/knbjockeys).

p.s. hope for your sake you're not the German in that pic...

Yes BoB:SoW looks amazing.

Any game still being developed 2 years after the initial release date had better look good.

@Steeltrap: It is the best WWI flight sim on the market, probably the best fixed wing flight model on the market. It still has issues which can be researched easy enough. Yeah additional planes have to be purchased for just under $8 US each. This has caused alot of tears. People pay up to $100 for FSX add-on planes and I recall paying $15 US each for add-on planes for SWOTL back in the early 90's. It is nothing new, just uncommon. The 4 planes that come with the game are 4 of the best of the war, you will never have to buy a plane to be competitive online.

As for the DRM.. yeah.. I see alot of prople who spend alot of time online complaining that they can't play it because they have no internet...

Try the demo, weigh the pros and cons.. that doesn't cost you anything. Most people who say it sucks are against the DRM and business model and have never tried it anyways lol.

It may not be for you, but don't pass on it because of bad advice.

Yeah, I'm on the ROF forums aswell same username.
pet peeve is the pay for planes after the sim already cost me £X, but I really wanted some of the allied ones (dolphin and se5) so caved in and bought them. ROF is lacking the IL2 multiplayer but if your machine can hack it the single player is a beautiful experience. Oh, and the devs are still supporting this title adding/updating/patching. On 1.08 I think atm. 1.09 is already announced and in the works.

Thanks for the info. Is the SP any good? I tend not to play things online.

I'm not playing anything right now as my rig died and I'm having supply problems with my new spec machine (specifically, can't get 2 x ATI 5850 cards).
