Very nice update as always!!!

As a player of online wars, I'm wondering if it would be possible to have an option to paint the rudders of our plan a certain color (could be server side activated). This would be great to spot your wingman in a battle.

It may not be historical... but in an online war... we a re-writing history...

The thing I find most interesting is the radio chatter. Yes, the pictures are wonderful, but the chatter hints at some gameplay that is simply not available in IL-2. Wingmen are calling out which planes/flights they are going after...so that could mean that you could assign them to certain tasks.

It may take some time to figure out how to control your wingmen with that much control. VERY nice!

This is possible in Il-2 original. And everybody will see you own skin. Why not in BoB?
Il-2 still has a lot of things that in many games simply absent. Why not in BoB?

I see the screens are shot at 2560x1600 rez. I wonder if there will be an up-tick in the purchase of 30 inch monitors now? :D I better start playing the lottery again! :)
Nice screens for a WIP, btw.
Flyby out

Just one note. In this case the speech is neccessary to rewrite completely or use the same actors with the additions of new planes in game.... or use the place holders...
Say in Il-2 it was more universal thing and traslated withut problems in a lot of languages.
Here it will be more complex and expencive task....

I don't want to rain on your parade, but the towns don't look convincing, at least to me : too many repetitive buildings and difficult to imagine the final product without AA on these screenshots.
The ground textures look still very crude and the colors have changed from being too vivid to get too much pastel.
It it's said all this is just placeholder for the final textures, ok.
I'm waiting too for some DX11 pics, because these screens still look too much cartoonish. To say the truth, some of the latest maps for IL2 (which I still play with big pleasure) look better.
But I understand it's WIP.
