WOW that's the first photo of BoB from 2005
Now after 5 years clorse to release and anxeity
waiting to fl over the channel

I remember seeing film of a diving BOB era Spitfire firing its guns and was surprised at the amount of smoke. Was trying to locate it to post here, but no luck so far.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtxBe6zPuys at 10:45 you can see some ki46's or something shooting, the guns generate a lot of smoke, the only difference with the smoke in SOW is that the smoke lasts longer in real life.

now that I´ve seen some splendid work on the oil leaks and oil on the canopy:shock:, I hope there will also be oil trails over the fuselage like in one of my old flight sims called B17: the mighty 8th, when an engine leaked oil it spread over the wing and left trails on the elevator as well.

At a guess, Spitfire MkI Early(2 blade prop/possibly flat canopy), Spitfire Mk1, and Spitfire MkIb (2 20mm cannon).

it all just looks amazing.....hoping that there will come some pacific module to this......love 1940 to 1942 pacific...after that its about "racing machines" lol....

It goes at least 120 km more down to the South (SaQSoN said so recently)... There should be a bit of Belgium, so some is missing to the East.
I do not believe it is going much farther to the West that what is shown already.

However nothing official has been announced yet!

Well, both bullets are shot from a machine gun and that generates the smoke,

what kind of bullets do P51's use? there is also some footage of them shooting.
look at 4:14 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uhpoLJHTTc that are P51's shooting, and it still generates a lot of smoke.

I'm not taking sides in your discussion, but forgive me a personal comment:

No matter how good your grades or arguments are, if you make such a lighthearted Hitler-comparison, that doesn't speak for your intellect nor for your education.


@ kedrednael:

Nice video. Note, though, that not the bullets cause the smoke. What causes the smoke is the burning tracer.

You can see this effect in IL2 as well: If you 50s or 303s at the ground or water, you will see a lot more impact than tracers with smoke. It's the same in these videos.
And knowing that, you might remember it's still WIP and that it's highly doubtful Oleg modeled something in IL2 that he suddenly forgets when making SoW. So IMHO this discussion can end here.

No, but now we can take a guess about his age.
Explains some statements.
