Prince of Eckmühl Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I have to admit that I don't much care for the way that 1C handles expansion packs for their combat flight simulators. They have tended to be a hodge-podge of aircraft and maps tailored and targeted toward the different nationalities that might prove a worthwhile market for sales of the disc(s). And like the rest of their games, TOW content is highly proprietary in nature. If you want more goodies, then add-ons are the only way to get there. This is where Battlefront can play a critical role. Please, let us pull together on this, and implore BF to demand of 1C that they follow a different course in providing expansion software for ToW. It strikes me that what would be most desirable from a player's point of view is that the developer actually provides SOMETHING that is complete, vehicles and maps for the North African or Kursk battles, perhaps. I cite those two possibilities because the game as released does not lend itself to urban fighting. It's strength is it's armour and anti-tank component. That's where it can be made to shine. Battlefront has a long of history of providing its customers with solid, well though-out products, ones that it's justifiably proud of. Encouraging 1C to focus on the strengths of the ToW "franchise" would surely provide a useful dividend to all involved, developer, publisher and gamer alike.

ChrisND Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 This game strength's and weaknesses would be very well adapted to the North African Theater. I would love to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but the support to Il2 Sturmovik by 1C is quite good, I think they have released at least 8 or 9 patches,usually straight after a problem was detected, plus 2 official expansions, and that hodge-podge of aircraft you say .... it makes me laugh, really.. This things usually are said by people who can't stand 2 minutes on the air ... LOL I don't know what you expect to be a good support for a game ...
