"Also on the sceen you see by two eyes. So the comparison with steroscopic view in life and like you mean by one eye isn't right. We simply will have more complex movement of the neck-head-body of the pilot than in Il-2."

I know this question (will there be transparent canopy frames) has been answered, but I don't understand the reply - Is Oleg saying stereoscopic vision is impossible on a screen, or that viewing a screen with 2 eyes is the same as viewing the inside of the cockpit with 2 eyes? If the later then I can't agree - in a real aircraft when you are focused on the outside, narrow VERTICAL canopy frames don't obstruct your view because of stereoscopic vision. Just as a finger held in front of your face doesn't block your view of distant objects. I still think transparent frames are a good simulation of this, at least until 3d displays are able to overcome the problem.

The game will not be out this November maybe next November, but Oleg did say that in September he is going to release full in game screenshots for the very first time, this is what i am looking forward too.

Could we see PAC defenses being implemented in SOW?
 

Hi all
Haven't posted here in awhile, time i got back into the fray.
I've been doing a lot of research on BOB and other WW2 battles, and one thing i've recently learned about, and think would be pretty cool to have implemented in SOW, is the PAC (parachute assisted cables) defenses which were used with minor success during BOB. These seem pretty elusive to find pictures of, so far i've only found a few refences to them, but no pics.
The Brits introduced these during BOB for the first time. Basically, a cable fired straight up by rocket, which then released a parachute at the apex of its climb, and the cable would then slowly drift to the ground. These would be used as air defense, as bombers would have to divert around them. if snagged, another parachutw would then deploy at the bottom end of the cable, producing a nasty drag on the ensnared plane, which generally resulted in a quick plummet to the ground. They were later also modified to have a mine attached, with obviously nasty results for the bomber...
So, is this idea feasible/doable for SOW?
Personally, i thnik it'd be great. Although they didn't claim more than a handful of planes, the main aim was to act as a deterrent, similar to barrage balloons, etc.
Thanks in advance...

i remember seeing this on documentry about bob on tv cant remember show title i think they also had wire suspended from blimps

Rocket, Parachute Barrage Wire
 

Will Rocket, Parachute Barrage Wire be available in the game.
These were air defense for protecting airfield and ships would make for some interesting results
