Oleg said, "Yes 4.0, but not 3.05...
Simply because it deserve to name as new thing..."

Or maybe because its now 5 months late & has aged a bit.  Just five or six months + two weeks for sure Smiley

So now its 4.0 the sun gods faithful are still waiting & waiting & waiting for it.  Nice to see so much progress take plave since last year.  Wonder when 4.0 will become 5.0, maybe another 6 months & 2 weeks for sure.  

Looks like a good plan to string the gullible along till they can be sold BOB in 2007 or 08 & two weeks for sure.

Too bad after all this time there is nothing really new in it,  just stuff you never got in the box & pickings from the FB/ACE leftovers draw.  All the stuff that was "too big for the CD" remember?

A 6 or 7 month late Betty that was supposed to be in the box,  still no Grumman's or other US naval attack planes, some left over Italian aircraft from FB that were never delivered.  I guess with the British fleet at Pearl harbor on 7 Dec 1941 some left over central European maps for Pacific Fighters makes perfect sense, great stuff.

Nothing new all stuff owed for ages but I am sure y'all are still really hot for this fabulous whatever.  Oleg has just got to love guys that will buy the same story & product over & over again.

Finally an update to 4.0 since last time was 3.05 so we don't forget whats still not there:

4.0 will not even have the rest of the planes and Maps needed to bring Pacific Fighter up to grade as promised. Most of the planes will dedicated to the European Theater.  

There is no map yet done for this system that is wide enough to place two task forces at historical distances.

That being said,  You will never get US or IJN battleships so you cant do a proper Pearl Harbor.  You will never get USN torpedo bombers or Yorktown class carriers so you cant do a proper Coral Sea or Battle of Midway . You will never get the B-17 or an adequate Solomon Islands map including Rabual or the northern PNG islands so you cant do a proper Guadalcanal campaign with the Tokyo Express running the slot.  

You will never get the B-24 the most heavily use US bomber in the PTO.  You will never get Japanese BB,CV,CA,CL and DD's so you can't do a proper Battle of the Philippine Sea.  You will never get B-29's so you cant do Siapan/Tinian.  *You will not get the Betty one of Japans mainstays throughout the war.* Oleg says just two weeks for sure on this one.  

You will not get the B-25J "Hard-nosed" and the cannon armed B-25H for the Island hopping campaigns.  You will not get the F4U-4 or P-47N so you cant do a proper Battle for Okinawa. You will never get Cribbage's PBY so all the people who contributed to it are out in the cold.  

One really has to wonder what kind of historical Pacific War can be simulated with all these missing parts.

BTW: IR track 6DOF will not be there either, but not to despair maybe the Val will finally get its hinomaru the F4F & A6M2 proper flight models.

"Its a proven Psycho treatment, keep the patient on edge for "very soon" until Free Patch 3.05 turns Free Addon 4.0" that turns Full Paid BoB 1.0. We won't even know the time passed, thinking we get FBP Patch in just 2 weeks, and BANG! BANG! we have BoB."  

"We have been waiting for the "add-on" since October. Supposedly the planes were already done and there was just not room on the CD."

"Patient? WTH do you think the community HAS been dooing? This isnt a patch rant, but most of the community has been patiently waiting since they purchased PF. If the patch isnt going to be released soon I wish they( ubi,madd ) would just shut the hell up about it. They keep dangling carrots in front of us and then we dont hear anything concrete."

"I think people have been so patient on this one they've started to leave."

Gee WYMMB, just don't tell anything that might look as if there'd be something to like about that video, you have a reputation to lose. Wink

The *Friedrich* got almost all lead into the right wing, first salvo, part of second salvo and the whole load at the last salvo.
Damage modelling is not completed that's why the wing visuals are yet on the plane but physics are processed that's why you see her roll around like that as if she'd had just one wing left. Wink
No serious, secret German defense manover, roll around like crazy so that the enemy believes your are shot off.


Thanks for the clarification.  Indeed that roll was what I would expect with a wing missing!

I just hope that was an AI in the Friedrich letting himself get owned by a Hurri.  I can guarantee you no Hurri is ever gonna run me down like that if I'm in a 109F, only in the Emil would it even be possible, hence my mistaken assumption.

BTW The clouds looked great!  Any ETA on when I might get my own copy of MAW?

It appears the Cult of the Stormovich is getting desparate.  I guess that happens when you have to wait so long for the Big Patch that will provide the much needed London Bus model for the Pacific Theater.

Give it a rest guys, go back home to your own forum and start multiple threads on why you love IL2 so much.

I have an idea that will solve this debate once and for all!

My suggestion is that one person from each camp volunteers to jump from an aircraft at 5000 feet holding only an official CD from their favourite game/air combat simulation*.

The one with the fewest injuries clearly has the better game/air combat simulation*.  This should clarify matters and allow two lucky volunteers to demonstrate their loyalty to the two opposing gods of WW2 computer fighter combat.  This human sacrifice to Bill and Oleg may also make them smile on the flight sim community and release new software for the rest of us to enjoy/despise*.

So what do you guys think?  Any volunteers?

Don't under estimate the Hurri. It can out turn just about anything. Tongue

To add to Woody's comments ... maybe not YOU, but given the proper conditions, a Hurri sneaks up on you ... (or dives down ) ....

Even in simulated air combat, "that'll never happen to me"  has a nasty way of biting me in my ample seating area...
