Not if you count aircraft lost when those British Warships and the MV Atlantic Conveyor were sunk. Aircraft destroyed on the ground (or flight deck) count in my book.

XabbaRus · 01-18-06, 03:53 PM

So is the sim going to be freeware or what?

if you compare total loses the yes, but air to air combat they dont, as they are not in the air and are simply ground targets.

In one of the forums, the writers quote some of the teaser videos they've released (http://www.thunder-works.com/media.htm) as being run on:

AMD AthlonXP 2400
NVidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
1Gb RAM
Microsoft Sidewinder ForceFeedback
Windows XP
Frap 2.60

It looks like that was the original idea, with just a couple of programmers, but interest has been so great that they've now got a team on it so it'll no doubt be a commercial release.

If they are killed on the ground they should count double since someone f*cked up really bad.
