tattywelshie Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Not sure if this will get closed down, but just for fun…what are everyone’s thoughts re the major news re great battles that was mentioned today? Reckon we are going to get a new module? Or do you think it’s news regarding the release of the flyable bombers? I’m thinking the way it was described as ‘news’ is something we don’t know about yet!!
FlyingShark Posted August 25 Posted August 25 (edited) Plans to update GB to Korea engine maybe. Have a nice day. Edited August 25 by FlyingShark 1

Gutholz Posted August 25 Posted August 25 The last news were about the plane set (featuring Uhu) and about the Gulf of Finland map. (adding things regarding the "Road of Life") So it will be these, maybe. 2

The fact @LukeFF said news about Korea and Great Battles...now my first thought was carriers...and...that's obviously linked to Korea...and what other second world war theatre? Pacific of course! 😁
Avimimus Posted August 26 Posted August 26 I suspect that it will be an update on the already announced aircraft for Great Battles (possibly with pre-orders), and formal announcement of the DLC for Korea. 3 3
Panzerkatze Posted August 27 Posted August 27 I have no clue what's going on, but for a principal I'm against it. Except if it brings free beer. 🍺 1

IckyAtlas Posted September 13 Posted September 13 If I remember some exchanges long ago about 4 engine bombers, there was a rumor about saying that it was not technically possible with the GB game engine. In fact it was confirmed at the time that there is no technical impossibility, but the cost and time to develop such a flyable bomber (with the same quality as all other GB planes) like the B17 was in GB absolutely uneconomic. The jump from 2 engine to four engines was much more than just double the work. And then we had Korea in the background. I am very happy that we will have the B25 flyable in GB even if later than initially planned, and that for me is more than enough.

I think modeling all guner station is major chore and resource hog but why not use same simplified view like bombsight, gunner station are not used by players that much anyway.

Well, some 'rebuilding from scratch of some of the same theatres in the Korea engine' might take place... depending on your philosophical perspective it could be described as updating content - even if the 3d models, terrain, flight models, and damage models are all being rebuilt from scratch. It is kind-of like the old 'due you die if you step into a teleporter' question...
