VBS2 engine differences ?

[cartier90 0]

I am aware that VBS2 is a very tailored game for specific training needs. I also read from one of you that having 'played' it you wouldnt give up ARMA2 for it for a second.

I am however impressed by some of the environments, specifically the sprawling desert/city one that seems to be based off Sat data.

Is it possible for a ARMA2 island to have such a sprawling city without grinding to a halt ?. I recall VBS1 recommended specs to be fairly low, even soldiers using it on Laptops, is this the case for VBS2 ?, if so, it would be nice to play in a Baghdad type city. (Course with improved CQB and driving AI - please !!)

Yes its possible.

To be honest im not really impressed with that picture.. VBS2 could use better and detailed textures if they wanted.

There is plenty of people in this forums who would go for it sake of realism instead this public version, but arent able to go for due its price, thought its getting cheaper by years over and might be soon be pretty ok to get. Its definetely the worth of in what it is able to do, so its more than justifed ask that price, too bad all us poor people arent able to purchase so we have to relay to games instead of training sims what we like more to do.

Thats a huge city with lots of places around it as well. ArmA1 - just saying though. VBS2 not needed for big stuff.
