further ideas - ever wanted to drive a tank in IL2? - 12/18/04 05:43 AM
I played IL2 a lot.
I often thought it would be fun to have been able to drive one of the tanks or maybe tried to soldier over to the enemy airbase for a vulching purposes >:-)
I think the reason they didnt do that was because they couldnt be bothered doing a good job of it, as the flight sim side was so important.
what do you think though? is 3rd rate qualilty in comparison to main aspect of the game, just a fun extra or a distraction from the main theme?
It wouldnt be that hard to add things like helecoptors for example but we might not feel too fussed about making as good a job of the FM as we intend of the aircraft.
likewise, if an element of soldiering was allowed, we might be uninterested in doing lots of fantastic animations for the various ways a soldier can die, nor exactly how different bullets from the different guns work:
have been amused in game forums the arguments about how good different guns are.
