I agree, Lets use T-34 vs Tiger as an example. You could tell that they started the foundations of this Sim solidly. The Tiger feels, drives and behaves more realistically than any attempt before or since. The noise levels, the hesitation during gear shifts all superb and far superior to anything up to this point. Then as if suddenly they (The suites) said times up, package this and throw it out the door were done here.
It could have been and should have been a masterpiece with guys building the Simulation paying close attention to detail. Unfortunately for us all the T-34 seems rushed and less detailed, Game balance was thrown in the mix and it was booted out the door in a condition that at best could be described as beta.
They came so far and lost a great opportunity to make a serious long term WWII Sim. Had they had the resources to add communication, command and control etc. It could have been a world beater of a Simulation.
Imagine if they used the Rise of Flight business model.
New tanks, scenery and single mission packages for extra $$
New campaign's.
But the business model was instead dump it and move on to phone apps only.
Thank heaven for Zee!
