Welcome back!!!

We'll throw a nalpam party for you!! 😆

Now really: how do you find the new .....everything? Of course it's still early and less access 🙂 but....

Switching from GB to K had the same feeling as from 1946 to CloD.

its a world of difference for me. I feel like K is so much more alive than GOB was. the graphics are much more stunning and I love the early fighter era. I think its been about 5 years since ive played. I saw this coming out and pulled out all the rudder, the VKB, bravo quadrant(which does work without extra software now in IL2 K), and fired away!! A bit rusty on the stick though.

Well, i'm rusty and dusty without much pause, guess it's my natural self. 🙂  Still enjoying the hole experience and mostly that for a bit of time, i'm so absorbed in game that my mind forgets about other stuff, that otherwise are constantly buzzing me (life "constant" pleasures, like job, family, diseases, news and such)

The planes in K are quite more "natural" imho compared to GB. More unpredictable.

for sure! I can let 3 to 4 hours go by and not even realize it. Looking forward to a week from now when the full game is out and I can control the situation more and try new things. I love the F51 compared to the P51 in BOS. the 50s are as devastating as they should be.

when the full game is out

Yes, but, but....don't get the expectation as high as Korean mountains! 🙂 

The game will be released, but the full - full features and all presented capabilities will still be worked on, "till the end of the year" as the devs said.

- automatically populated map with npc and cars and boats and carts and stuff : "in the autumn"

- AI, the fabled AI: a work in progress, "towards the end of the year"

- various planes capabilities and bugs: worked on 

- persistent damage on the map: "this autumn"

All quotes are from devs official blogs.

So my point is for us to enjoy what we have now, as new stuff/improvements will come at a steady pace.

Enough people have constantly compared the early release with some 23 yrs old matured titles. Please, just don't expect the final finale upon release.

My personal opinion is that Korea will reach its peak version in 1-2 yrs from now. Personal opinion, guys, keep tomatoes in the refrigerator! 🙂

For sure, I think it will always be a WIP. Honestly all those NPCs and cars and boats is just a FPS drain. A few would be cool but as long as the airfields have the life they have now and I can do quick missions im happy. 

Afew from my flight yesterday...Yaks over Korea and a lucky walk away from my Sabre

I can comfortably say that after spending years with the 109, learning its ins and outs, strengths and weaknesses, that I can't fly this thing for s#&t. I've spent more time in grass next to the runway than I have on it. On takeoff and landing...

Still, it is a fun CAS bird. And the new career design is excellent.

Когда посадка на аэродром сложнее, чем боевой вылет.
