Velvet Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Here's some more info: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=18201 it looks like there will be a German campaign: "The player will join the British Air Force to fight the German forces and renegade pilots on his own side, or join the German Luftwaffe and take part in meticulously recreated historical battles. " Quote
Parky Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 As I said above I'm pretty convinced this is rushed release, so I will wait till making my move... We are talking about the same sim here, right? The one that was originally supposed to hit the shelves in November 2006?? If it is, I think I've waited long enough... Cheers, Parky Quote
Olham Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) "The last will be the first" or so it says in the bible. I will wait even longer - to finally get the sim, when it is really gamer tested and sorted out. In my Albatros I feel I have all the time in the world - no haste to get to those roaring glass houses - I would miss the scent of the poppies... Edited January 23, 2011 by Olham Quote
Over50 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 If I'm reading right here, this is a retitled Storm of War that's been in "development" since.....since....um....2004? Yeah, well, until I see an actual hard copy at Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy or whatever this will remain the vaporware Duke Nukem Forever of the sim world in my book. Quote
Ratatat Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I agree with elephant. I foresee many patches in Cliffs of Dover's future if it actually releases when they say it will. I've been looking forward to this game for a long time too. But I'm worried about the "completed" state this game will be in judging from what I've seen and read on forums. I'll be very disappointed if there isn't a German campaign. I want to fly one of those yellow-nosed b*st*rds! Quote
Wodin Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) There is a German campaign...says so on Olegs forum when they gave out details... I thought the landscape looked like a watercolour...however I'm sure it will be a good sim with many expansion and big old patch's with extra content... I will buy at some point. Edited January 27, 2011 by Wodin Quote
JFM Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I'm buying it immediately--whenever that is--so I'll post screenies/impressions for you guys waiting to pull the trigger. Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 If it doesnt have a German Campaign..I'm not gonna bother!...Flying Just Spits and Hurri's gets a bit boring Quote

Parky Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 If it doesnt have a German Campaign..I'm not gonna bother!...Flying Just Spits and Hurri's gets a bit boring Quite right, old chap. What's the sense in flying planes you already know are going to win the Battle of Britain before it even starts...... Cheers, Parky (Olham.....you've just been "baited"......lol) Quote
Wodin Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 IT HAS A GERMAN CAMPAIGN....sorry to shout...but it seems no one is taking notice... Quote
Olham Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (Olham.....you've just been "baited"......lol) You might be surprised here, Parky, but as Widowmaker also likes to fly the German "Yellow noses", I really love to fly Hurricanes against bombers (Hurries were the toughest!), or Spits against Messerschmidts (the Spits were the most beautiful kites!) - and it is ALWAYS sheer fun to hunt down Stukas, when they are about to bomb the radar towers!

No worries, I at least heard you the first time Sir. Don't take it personally Wodin, this place can get a bit out of hand when the rowdys start trying to giving each other a wind up. . Quote
+elephant Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) (the Spits were the most beautiful kites!) May be slightly Off Topic but worth seeing... Let's wait and see how Oleg's team can cope this... Edited January 28, 2011 by elephant Quote
Olham Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Don't take it personally Wodin, this place can get a bit out of hand when the rowdys start trying to giving each other a wind up. Yeah, sometimes it seems like a furball here - everybody has someone in his gunsights, and nobody has the overview. Apart from that, I often noticed, that others people's post must have crossed with mine, but I only saw them later. Can get quite confusing then. Quote

Wodin Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I see the dynamic campaign has been dropped aswell as dynamic weather....apparently so the game can be released sooner...god knows what else has gone by the wayside...the word is all thats been cut will be added at a later date... I was going to buy..not to sure know...shall await reviews and a fair few patches I think. Quote
Hasse Wind Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 That's certainly disappointing news. It seems to follow in the footsteps of IL2, with the initial lack of a decent campaign mode etc. Quote
Over50 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Makes me wonder what the single player game will be like....which is my prime interest. Quote
Wodin Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Well if it isn't a wind up by Oleg we will have to fight one of our own due to a love interest...... Quote
Bullethead Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I see the dynamic campaign has been dropped aswell as dynamic weather....apparently so the game can be released sooner...god knows what else has gone by the wayside...the word is all thats been cut will be added at a later date... I was going to buy..not to sure know...shall await reviews and a fair few patches I think. Thanks for the warning. I sure ain't buying it without a dynamic campaign because I can't do multi-player with my satellite internet. Damn, that's highly disappointing. I was really looking forward to this game. Quote
+matt milne Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 potential is nothing if the devloper isn't prepared to realise it. Great project management is crucial in a complex title, from the publisher right down to the last programmer. Sounds promising, but we'll have to wait and see. Quote

Great project management is crucial in a complex title, from the publisher right down to the last programmer. Sounds promising, but we'll have to wait and see. Well, on the plus side, by the time the game gets a dynamic campaign (assuming it ever does), it'll be in the bargain bin. Also, patches will have been released by that point. Thus, I'll get a better product for a lower price. On the minus side, I'll have to wait for it. But OTOH, not being an IL-2 fan, I didn't even know the thing was coming at all until last week, so I don't feel like I've waited at all yet, and think of the hypothetical future game worth buying as having just been announced for delivery early next year or so.
