Regarding ideas for the expansions:

[Nankeen]

Besides the WWII theaters for this flight sim, I think, if a seperate expansion was made to be purchased, like puting players in the tanks to the fitting WWII theaters, would widen the interest. I understand this is a flight sim, and it is, but to broaden the freedom of choice where a player can drive a crewed tank would be really cool. After all, we are shooting, bombing tanks, the only difference is Ai are in the tanks, not players!

No thanks. The team is already stretched enough trying to make the air combat enjoyable for all. If I want to play in a tank I have plenty of other choices for that sort of thing.

I think the dev team said this is possible to do but they are not pursuing it - possibly about a year ago when they released a tank demo for lighting and physics. It was tanks moving and firing but the team is committed to the flight aspect of the sim only.

 

Let's see how the game progresses over the next few years before leaving the lofty heavens.

all I can say is let's hope they generate enough revenue to venture in such a project, but as this is a niche sim I don't see it happen anytime soon.

 

Another solution could be crowdsourcing, but again this is probably something for the future, once the title is out officially and they have more experience under their belt. Look at what happened to the original IL-2 Sturmovik, it's only about having a bit of patience me thinks. I'm sure that 10 years from now we'll see some very very cool stuff happening, if you asked me 10 years ago whether I would have expected a quality level of the current standards we see, I'd have told you "yeah right.."

Really? Then where's my Haunebu IV? I can't live without it! 

 

 

But seriously, I'd like one of these

Q. Why was the Digital Nature engine chosen instead of the CLOD engine?

A. The Digital Nature engine is an advanced game engine that has been developed over several years and powers ROF with great results. Besides being relatively bug free and well-functioning, it has advanced physics, realistic flight-modeling, progressive damage modeling, complex ballistics, detailed environmental modeling, detailed terrain modeling and superb graphics rendering. Above all else it is more modular and flexible than the CLOD engine. It can even support different types of player vehicles from main battle tanks to giant robots. Using the Digital Nature engine will provide users with a well-functioning product at launch that can be brought to market fairly quickly. It can still be further enhanced in the future as needed.

 

 

But today is World of Tanks Thunder  and Tanks War battles. 

 

There is room for more tanks, the market of game tanks is full

Yes, but those games are cheezy rubbish.
