Historical accuracy of the OFF terrain

Recommended Posts

I'm impressed by how stellar a job the Dev's team done with it! We all know you can navigate across France's OFF terrain using real life maps. But recently in my pilot career I was moved to an aerodrome a little ways from the frontline and couldn't help but notice all the ground around the aerodrome itself was pockmarked with craters, it was all muddy the nearby town was in ruins, etc. It didn't look like the French countryside, it looked like the front except the front is a few miles east! Then today I was reading a book on the Somme offensive in 1916 and recognized the name of one of the Brit's principal objectives, Bapaume, as being precisely where my aerodrome is located in 1918! It makes perfect sense that the area is still heavily scarred two years later.

 

That's pretty amazing geographic continuity, it would be so easy to just ignore details like that and most people wouldn't notice. But for me it's little details like this that seal the deal on why I play OFF!

Please Javito, don't say any more... :shok:

I'm daying here with eagerness waiting my game to come... :wacko:

I watched all the official movies, again, today!

And OK, I admit it, I played a little bit of RoF, but these things do not happen there... :sad:

Comment to all new people... do not annoy UncleAl as he has a razor sharp tongue that is titanium coated... but his words of wisdon are truly that words of wisdom... He's like the old pilot in the corner of the bar that no-one dare approach but when he's had a drink he is willing to partake of his wisdom freely, provided you don't annoy him... but he's a big softy at heart and we all know it... to UncleAl thank you for your words of wisdom and your time in creating your sticky's etc... :drinks:
