Sure it is nice, but for now I have an overall mixed feeling about the game.

Those planes have historically correct markings! I'm a fan of that!


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

Those are fan made skins. None of the game skins come with those markings.

Beautiful shots Joe, look like movie scenes smile

Battle of Stalingrand/Moscow sure looks great and flies just as well. Shame about the rest of the game.'Mixed feelings' sums it up pretty well.

Thanks. To be honest, on multiplayer with friends, it can be pretty fun.

Those are my feelings exactly. While BOS is a Beautiful Sim, you just cannot get enough planes in the air and AA plus tanks, trains and Trucks in a mission for it to feel very much like there is a war going on. Not trying to crash the party or tick anyone off, but this picture shows 10 of the 16 Stukas in a mission I flew recently in another Sim. There were 6 109s Escorting them and there were 8 Hurricanes, and 5 Spits in the same mission, all attacking the incoming Stukas and dog-fighting the 109s. It was crazy mayhem. I have an older AMD Phenom II BE and a GTX770 6GB plus 16gigs of DDR3 1600 Ram. My rig was moving along at 30-40 frames a minuteLOL, second and I had one Hell of a fight on my hands in a pretty smooth mission. God knows how much AA there was not to mention Static stuff and moving trucks. at the drones. You just can't do that in BOS. I guess my point is this, I hope 1C can find a way to revamp the Ai so that it doesn't use the same flight physics(freeing up CPU cycle) as the Player controlled planes and use some well developed routines to provide a good AI Fight. I can just picture the Skies of Stalingrad with scores of planes and lots of ground equipment and boats moving to really bring this Sim to life.
Not trying to steal your Thunder Joe. These shots are awesome. In the last set, the 1st and 3rd on look like actual photographs. Thanks for sharing.

Great pics as usual Joe smile

I have a feeling that with the new changes coming to BoS, the aircraft count in game may go up somewhat...
