I'd love to know this too but also will smoke in general be 3d and react when flown through?

Now that would be an awesome feature, Do you remember, in apocalypse now,
when those hueys attack the village near the beach, there's a shot rearwards from inside the heli showing the smoke swirling due to the vortex from the spinning rotorblades...

Interesting point here!

That last screenshot puzzles me. The white clouds in the background seem to be out of focus. I've never seen this before in the game or in SoW:WiPs.
It doesn't just look like smoke.

Good thing that he didn't have to kick start the engines. :)

Nice picture Major!

Once I have read, that in one case in the battle of Kursk - Prokhorovka, 1 Ju-88 attacked Russian infantry from a dive. Ju-88 droped all of its bombs. The Russian infantry opened fire from bellow with all possible weapons - pistols, guns, rifles etc. In to the following seconds, they succeeded to kill the pilot, and Ju-88 continued to fall down in diving. But then the bombs exploded from below, and the blast air wave pushed the nose of the Ju-88 upwards, and the aircraft continued to fly forward as a glider, an then later, crushed at the ground. I hope Oleg will implement such soft not-destructive air blasts.

Another awful moment from the war: Russian pilots of Il-2 reported that they often find after landing equipment and human meet belonging to the enemy infantry in some places of the aircraft. Such places are the air cooling orifices of the Il-2. The found objects: German belt buckles, Romanian helmet with human scalp attached to left front wheel of the Il-2 /the wheels where extended in to the attack, because the pilot was trying to imitate Ju-87 in order to mislead the Romanian troops/, pieces of enemy infantry jacket, etc. These objects have been thrown in to the air by Russian unguided rockets fired by Il-2 and than being "catched" by the aircraft in to the air. All this happens when Il-2 attacks the enemy troops columns. I think Oleg is able to give as more realism this way.

If they're not going to have blood in the cockpit when aircrew get hit, they certainly won't get bits of dead soldier on the outside of the aircraft. 1C don't want the game to be 18+ rated!

I think the Ju88 crews are looking ok in size and they simply feature a different default position in the screenshots. I can sit inside a plane, stretch my legs and place my feet on the pedals. I can also sit inside the same plane and stand with my legs forming a 90 degree angle at the knees, in which case my feet will be resting on the floor and not on the pedals. That doesn't mean i magically became shorter, i'm just sitting in a different position that doesn't allow me to reach the pedals ;)

So, it could be that the Ju88 pilot is animated with his legs in this position (viewed from the left side):

_|-


instead of this position:

This kind of "realism" is better left to sick people.
