OlWilly Posted January 10 Posted January 10 The decision to drop Strike Fighters series is actually strange from financial point of view. For post WWII era we have two great study sims - DCS and Falcon BMS. Lots of arcade flight games (not worthy being called sims), like Ace Combat or whatever. But for survey, lighter sims, right in the middle, there is an actual shortage on the market. Notice how Nuclear Option waltzed in and seized a decent following just overnight, and it is still in Early Access. A lot of people enjoy sim mode in War Thunder, but hate the grind, and won't mind an offline or less grindy version/spin-off of it. Strike Fighters 3 would easily get its share of the market, especially if it will have an online mode, but without the grind like in WT 3 Quote
+amariani Posted January 12 Posted January 12 How about a "SF3: WWII" or "SF3: Korea"? No complicated avionics, just an asskickin', gunslingin' plane set! 1 Quote
+Coupi Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Soon 12 years without an update ...TK does not reward the loyalty of this 20+ year-old active community of modders, skinners and players ! One day someone could decide to crack the game - in order to have this "dreamed update" - because of this abandonment after having dangled a Windows 10 version... several years ago. P. 3 Quote
+EricJ Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Personally I think the level (or really lack) of enthusiasm for the Win10 patch told TK that the community (I donated though) wasn't very interested in anything new for the game. Sure he can use some of the money from mobile purchases to fund a new patch, but that's not a foregone conclusion, and probably what he makes off of mobile sales keeps the mobile aspect going rather than any hopes for a Win10 patch. But I don't know TK so that's just rampant speculation, but that's how I felt about it. Maybe there's something in the works, maybe not, but as Coupi inferred, it's not looking good after so long of a stretch. I mean if Nuclear Option allowed modding then you can probably go to that as it's newer, but I have it and flown it in a long time, mainly because there's not much to do except free fly, which I also do in SF2 nowadays. 2 Quote

Nuclear option is cool and all, but the sci-fi fake map aspect of it make it feel hollow to me, even if I do like the look of (most of) the aircraft. Some people even made throwback 60's skins for some of the planes which look incredible. The biggest aspect stopping me playing it is the missile spamminess of it; being able to lock up 5 targets and pressing a button just isn't in the same ballpark as using a high yo-yo to get bead on a MiG-17 who's been out-turning you for 5 minutes, only to find the AIM-9B misses the perfect shot anyway 1 Quote
+EricJ Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Yeah I mean it is what it is and I agree, it is a bit kinda spammy in the missile sense (I've gotten shot down by quite a few), but I have a mission that a friend made that is basically a free fly mission, so I can try out the new stuff while in a "safe" environment. Overall I don't play it as much as Arma 3 or MSFS2024, which I've been doing a bit lately. 1 Quote
