yes, Tree did say that...and he got roasted by a few people back then too.

I think a March 2011 would be more realistic but hopefully i will be proved wrong.:)

7th or 15th of September are recognised as BoB day. Oleg said he hopes to see many of us playing the game on this day or just before, so whether or not that's an August release is anyones guess ;)

Or maybe Oleg meant the 75th Anniversary of the BoB:cool:. Nice round number. Don't laugh! I built a new computer in December of 2006 expecting it to come out in 07.

Same here!

BUT, we have to keep in mind that the Spit video, that spoiled a lot of us (me included) was actually a leak!

If it wouldn't have been leaked, we'd still be waiting for a video, I think.

So, let's accept the new update like it is, even if we want more.

what i don't get is i type stormofwar.com into my internet address bar, and it redirects me to the UBI webpage.

most games i have waited for in recent times have had a webpage up at least 6 months in advance of release.

I think it does....Looks like we're in a gray area still...giggles.... hem hem.

Hey, were do you found it!?

in checksix i can foung the note

Snake still has to write the report. It's not at that forum yet.

BTW, I noticed this interesting land geometry engine:

It's still in development, but it seems to have a pretty realistic look while being capable of rendering the entire planet. Although it's a completely different engine, I'm curious as to how SoW will appear when it's ready. I should mention that flight physics don't seem to be all there, and SoW will surely excel in this regard.

If I'm correct, the BoB map won't be much bigger than Il-2's Lvov (L'viv), which is certainly not bad. The Bf-109s will already have to fly across the entire map just to get to the target. But I wonder what is the upper limit in map size for the SoW engine?

Now, it's not at all necessary to have a bigger map, but it would be nice to one day have a map that covers larger areas of land to allow B-17 missions into Germany from England, or Il-4/Pe-8 missions into Berlin from Leningrad.

If one program can render the entire planet, can SoW do a chunk, like Western Europe or the Mediterranean or the Korean peninsula, but still offer excellent flight dynamics, AI, and attention to detail?

I found it months ago.

The map should be a little bit larger than that...

On the one you show you would have one Do-17Z KG2 staffel (!) base, some of the Stuka's, and no JU-88 or He-111 staffeln bases, not to mention minor players like the entire JG2 and JG27 Geschwadern...
