Re: late Soviet planes

 

Do not get me wrong, I am happy about them. Some Soviet opposition to K-4 and D-9 makes the late war scenarios more interesting, even if we lack the maps. Also, some of the reported late war  "misidentification" incidents can be fun, like P-51 vs La-7.

(And, not sure if this ever happened, but I would love to test the Tempest vs the Yak-3).

 

However... a later P-40 model e.g. could have done both, appeal to the west and the east.

They won't do a free text chat because it would open them up to legal liability if people start chatting illegal things

 

What?!  Like the text we normally communicate through on multiplayer?

If you activate automatic translation into english via youtube settings, you get the gist of it.

I don't play MP, but they said something like that. Perhaps I misunderstood.

That makes more sense.

So, the key points are: 

1. 80-100 AI planes in a scene; 
2. directX 12, PBR textures; 
3. the visuals are better than in DCS;
4. increasing of minimum systems requirements (6 VRAM at least);
5. new AI logic;
6. better damage model;
7. more radio chats;
8. communications with ground radars (bearings, home vector, etc);
9. they will support GB, specifically Odessa and Karelia theatres;
10. Odessa will get 2 versions: early period during nazi invasion and the late one during soviet liberation;
11. they'd like to push Pacific theme despite Jason makes hiw own product.

 

BIG IF TRUE!!!!!!

I have a simple challenge for all of us: Why don't we learn Russian?

So we’ve gone from a development company with a reputation for the best communication in the business with a lively online community through a thriving, supporting forum to “learn Russian”?

 

Simply amazing. No wonder no one posts here these days.

On the other hand, Combat Pilot is moving forward with something that looks really exciting.   Maybe some serious competition will be a positive force?

Competition is always good for development and the customer. So, yes, the future looks bright for us gamers.

It is a bit dissapointing to deal with it the recent months. 

No idea if the devs knows it or even recognize, that plain russian communication, isnt the best way to speak to their customers.

Let's see what Combat Pilot will bring, i have no problem to have more than one Sim on my PC

It is a full russian dev team so their natural language is russian. It is their project, so it seems to me some kind of internal discussion between the boss and the project manager to whom we are invited as long as we know russian. Marketing wise I agree that maybe that's not the best way to connect to their customers audience these days. They keep forums in different languages to avoid loosing contact but it is an indirect way. 

 

Technology will help more and more with automatic translation, but at the moment this automatic translation on YouTube is really poor quality, you get an idea but loose the sentiments, fun and emotions transmitted by the speakers. 

In a few years (around 5 years) there will even not be any translation any more. AI systems will translate directly and speak with the same voice and tone and in a whatever language you will request. Only then it will not matter any more if the devs speak russian, chinese, arabic etc. we will get it right in our own language. This will change a lot in communication between people of various nations and cultures. Maybe a good step towards mutual understanding.

It has not been confirmed officially, yet, but the clues are there.

Hey, I'm just saying - there are solutions. I personally fill a bit silly being uncertain about some of the statements in the interview.

 

I'm not saying that it is an ideal solution. I'm not saying anyone should learn Russian. I'm just saying that it goes both ways - just as a Russian speaker can improve fluency in English, an English speaker can learn to understand Russian....

 

As for the situation - I stand by my original point: It may be better to have more frequent communication than waiting until the developers have something to announce that they feel is worth spending thousands of dollars to have translated. I'd rather have more communication and transparency, rather than have them decide it is better to communicate nothing until a big announcement... (and I'd rather funds be put into development, rather than translation).

If you get desperate, maybe pull the transcript and run it through DeepL Translator.  It tends to do a better job than Google or Microsoft.

 

Looking forward to the new tech and content especially the Odessa and Karelia Maps and associated aircraft.

Official translation has been posted!

Yep, I think we can lock this one up and shift all discussion to the other topic.
