Will sell. You left out the all-important will from that. As of yet, they're not selling anything but a promise, which is free to buy.

Are you certain there aren't any existing things you could find to complain about?

Either all of these things happened by sheer ineptitude of the developers or by intention. If so, they are trying to hide:

- sounds
- textures, cockpit and external
- We can't see any of the weapon systems or the tv thing in action.


And dont give me that "its a teaser" or "its wip". You have to land your first impression well, which is ruined. That copter is now in a public relations hole with the Hawk and it will take some seriously high detail cockpit screenshots in GOOD LIGHTING to convince me to buy it.
Would have bought it blind, but after this trailer I won't.

HAwk all over again.

As a customer I want to see the product, and I do not want anything to get in between, like #%&*$# music, #%&*$# lighting so you cant see the textures.



You do know that trailer is 1 yr old, right?

Apparently so. It also begs the question when they're attempting to drum up interest around a product why you would release a trailer for the first time on 2nd November this year that is already one year old!

It was uploaded to YT by them a year ago according to their YT page.

The best they can show is a year old #%&*$# trailer, for a game possibly costing 40€? I bought Fallout4 today which was not much more expensive than that.

Well, hopefully that should keep you busy... Even just a couple fewer of your asinine posts would be an improvement here.

I had same concerns on the Hawk back then, and people told me I was crazy, moderators banned me and I was called things and everyone said its WIP! All will be great!

Guess how that turned out. As for Gazelle, the best they have to show for it is a year old trailer. No one else seeing what the problem is?

They aren't selling it yet. AFAIK, they haven't taken any pre-orders, nor done a crowd funding project for it. As such, most people do not see a problem of any sort with Polychop Simulations at this time, since it hasn't cost them anything.

If all they have released is a trailer from 1 year ago, then you have not seen where things stand currently. Your posts appear to be assuming that the shortcomings you perceive are still there and apparently you expect them to remain there for some period of time. You may be correct about that, but you may also be wrong about it.

If it turns out that your prediction is correct, then you can take satisfaction in having saved your money. I suspect other people will be enjoying the simulation, even if it doesn't have textures or shading that meets your standards.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

I'm really curious on how it handles. After the Huey, I'm hoping it's truly a light helo.

Looks great.
