Anyone see this - New WW2 aircombat MMO?

http://gaijinent.com/en/games/world_of_planes/

From the makers of Wings of Prey, IL-2s hot-looking but shallow sister…

Sounds interestering though - increasing detail/fidelity, 3 month online virtual wars, multiple theatres and best of all we all might be able to run it without a Cray supercomputer…!

(As long as they don’t do that ridicluous thing I’ve seen in World of Tanks vids where Tigers + T-34s end up being on the same side???)

Could Il-2s spin-off end up overtaking the 1C original?

Anyway worth keeping an eye on - who said flightsims were dead!

Not flown a lot of the DF servers on hyperlobby then Flash… LOL

I had noticed it being anouced… the developers dont have anything like as good a rep as IC Maddox.

Worth paying attention to i guess.

That link doesn’t work for me

AFAIK announced on the 1st April, removed on the second.

A rehash of Wings of Prey was announced a few weeks ago by the developer. April 1st news was just a name change, if it was an April fool it was a pretty piss one.

Thinking about it

Promising advanced gameplay and an advanced campaign…

Knowing the first game, that must be a joke

haha, well it caught me out as I only heard about it on the 2nd :slight_smile: I guess thats why I have not heard about it or read anything

April Fool then…

THe evil, evil bastewards!!!

Sounded plausible though - especially marrying the WoP game with a World of Tanks online persistent metagame and all the upgrade stuff.

WoT has been the biggest hit inside Russia since Il-2 itself I think - so wouldn’t be surprised if someone tries this at some point…

Back to ogling CloD screenshots and vids and trying to deterine a pattern in those who have it running smooth…
