But I still think that such planes don't fit to a game dedicated to WWII why?
1 As a read in others posts, seams that a lot of work must be done to simulate modern avionics and missiles.
2 Ad I said in an another thread, the major problem is environement! If for example, a F16 is created, it will be surrounded by buildings, vehicles, cities and air bases designed for 20's 40's.... If thoses objects can fit to WWI until Korea that's the maximum. To recreate vietnam bases atmosphere means a lot of work in term of vehicles buildings and also other AC of this period (Hercules, Skyraider, Bronco, Phantom, Helicopters, etc...) and I don't speak about modern NATO bases where FA18 and F16 are supposed to be included if you want to imagine former Yougoslavia or Irak scenarios...
It's like including a Spitfire or a Bf 109 in Lock-on. Do they fit to this sim environment?
Yes everything is possible,but in this case it will be a marginal effect regarding the amount of work and talent spended.
I get a good immersion in Il2 because I'm flying inside a an environment dedicated to the right period.
That's my opinion and always in respect for the job done.
And as it's said in other post if I don't like I don't download.
A point some folks overlook here. So the buildings won't fit the plane.
What's stopping modders from making new buildings, Hmmm?
What's stopping modders from making compatable acft, Hmmm?
What's stopping modders from making the correct environment for such acft, Hmmm?
Just becasue it doesn't exist right now doesn't mean enterprising modders can't make it exist.
