I was a big fan of WWIIOL, mostly the air combat, another 40comm player. The problem with the game is that it hasnt moved on. The expansion into china was meant to bring in badly needed resources but nothing seemed to come of it. The FPS aspect was playable 5 years ago now its so dated its borderline unplayable. Theyve really traded off the massive maps for losing the fps element and it was always going to be a block to makng the game massive. Still for a propellor head theres nothing out there that has that mix of air and ground combat. Used to love strafing opels and bombing cps.
Ill be funding the kickstarter but it makes me nervous as theyre going up againt IF and the like. Hope it works for them, CRS are a grognards dream studio, its just that in the intervening period there are games that do each element better. Id love to see this get done and provide a new direction for them. I always thought the massive maps were great for us flyboys but left a lot of empty space down there, maybe this is the solution.
