Funny question for such a smart-ass.

Funny how 9 years ago IL2 represented reality very nicely. We all oohed and aaaaaaaaaaahed. I was excitedly anxious (even panicky) to get my FW 190 off the ground before the Sturmoviks came to attack my air field in my very first mission. I remember thinking how grande it was to sit in my Hellcat on the flight deck watching my AI team unfold their wings as I started up my engine..... and then; "Oh CRAP. I forgot to link the chocks to a button." LOL (but I digress)

Ahhhhhh, the grandeur of technology. Now, we move forward with a more impressive representation of reality. What wonders of escapist realism will Oleg and crew have for us?




Thanks Oleg. Have a great show. I expect booth babes pictures next week. ;)

No update next week.

Its a seccret :)

Tracers: Part o the problem with tracers was that their ballistics were not the same as the AP or incendiary rounds. In other words (and simplified) they did not hit where the other rounds hit.

As a shooter, I can tell you that even the smallest differences in rounds can have GREAT effect on point of impact. Even different brands (manufacturers) with the exact same specifications can have different points of impact.

At close range, these effects are minimal. At longer ranges, they become huge. Obviously tracers do not do the same damage as AP rounds. So, some units took the tracers out all together and to very good result reportedly.

As for the smoke, I have never personally seen a tracer that left a smoke trail. However, smoke trails are clearly visible in some WWII footage. Maybe the composition has changed (like the change to smokeless powder in the charge for the round).

At 1000 yards, a .50 cal bullet drops around 30 feet and it IS possible to see the flight path of the bullet without it being a tracer. Whether or not this would be possible to see from an aircraft I don't know (but I would love to find out in person lol).

Oleg, thank you for the update. The night shot is amazing. The video makes me want to get my hands on it so much my palms itch. I LOVED the AI Hurricane's attack run!

Well Hecke, if you compare initial IL2 release in 2001 with what we have now at "WIP" stage, it does look 9 years ahead...We are a a bit biased by the fact that IL2 has been tremendously updated since its 2001 release....;)

Salute !

D'oh. Thanks for the reminder. I read that but forgot.

OLEG MADDOX good very good good work i loock the video and the photo.
But i not like the gun effect and sound.
i loock original video of ww2 and sound of gun is POMM- -POMM- -POM very explosive sound of gun and tracers have a zig-zag effect and not a laser effect.
you loock the real gun camera the Tracher have a smoke little smoke and the tracher not have good linear and perfect direction but have little movement the bullets not is the laser.

@ Oleg.

Will there be different intensities of light in the windows at night or do you have to make a compromise due to fps?
