Hi to all, as it's my first post here:grin:

Frankly, I must say that the Skyraider is a real beauty, I can't wait to be able to fly it over Korea!

The level of details of the aircrafts is also awesome, not very far from the numbers of polygons used for static 3d renderings!

I can already head Mr. Nehalem knocking at my door:cool:

Well ...we do have a Beaufighter Mark 21 which arrived in Pacific Fighters...which is a RAAF version with American engines and different armament. A Mark I is going to be a bit different in probably a number of different ways. Just because its AI in the initial release doesn't mean it won't be later either....but I think it'd be more interesting and more fun to have a fully functioning Beaufighter Mark X with full capabilities later on. Read up on the type to find out why that might be interesting. The Mark I wasn't a really big player anyways...its the later version where the type came into its own.

Probably understandable seen the time everybody waits for an update and just 24hours after the community got pearl harboured with Birds of Prey. A litle bit of sarcasm in some posts doesn't surprise me. I think folks here had more in mind than the "usual" dev shot of a wip a/c on blue background.

What I can't for the hell figure out is why 1C doesn't do a dev blog. That is standard for so many games today, FS included. Oleg wouldnt even have to do it personally.

I am astonished valuable time is being wasted on the Anson and Bf 108---neither are necessary for a B of B sim (OK, the Anson gives Heinkel 111s something to dominate). A Hudson makes more sense. One would have hoped for a flyable Beaufighter IF so that a radar war would have been possible for the Blitz. Considering the non-importance of the Gladiator to the Battle of France and B of B, its inclusion is another brain-pithing stunner.

As for the Korean War aircraft---WOW!

The level of detail, as mentioned by others, is astounding.

Take a close look at the AD 4 cockpit shot. Look at the cowling, see those exhaust stacks? All part of the new complex DM?

Look at the panel textures on the F-82 and P(F)-51.

Personally I can't wait.

Great update.

I don't actually see any 'updates' in those pics.They mean nothing.They are nothing a graphic artist could not knock up in a week.A REAL update would be nice (God forbid in game shots or video)

:rolleyes:

Such theatrics.

"Brain pithing stunner." LOL!!!!!!!!!!

The Med expansion will no doubt follow very quickly after the release of BoB. Can you imagine the howling if "Faith", "Hope", and "Charity", were not included for the defense of Malta?

No one on this, or any board has a clue about the actual scope of Storm of War. Why not save your acerbic commentary till after the release, when it might actually have a basis in fact?

Sometimes I wonder how old you guys actually are.

Past experiences is the key phrase here. Early in the Il-2 development he sought active contact with the prospective customers for feedback and support ... and the result were, essentially, completely overblown expectations followed by "sour-grapes" accusations of bias, insinuations of various rather personal kinds and a few more things that surely showed Oleg that this close a contact to the "fans" is impossible. Unless, of course, he wouldn't mind being sent to the nearest rubber cell in a straightjacket around the time of SoW's release. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. :roll:

Some very nice 3d pics again, and news of a console game. Now move along people nothing to see here.
