I would like to see some other bullet effects... in real ww2 footages the 50cal looks very different as in the game. I like the gunsmoke from your video @nic727

THX, but it's not my video:grin: I don't know how to download mod and when I try with step to step, it's didn't work. It's why I want this in a next update:-P

Very Nice!
 

These effects are really great. I'll bet that even my ex-wife would like them...well maybe not... But I like them!

Another video I found :

In the video you can see blur effect (because the pilot is tired???)

Bonus video : Submarine simulation in Il2 1946

But you need OpenGl water=2 and higher what I don't have :(

This is awsome! Why TD and SAS guys don't shake their hands?

I don't know. If they do that, it can be a great update :)

I'm wary of most mods, but I gotta admit, these smoke effects are mighty impressive. What's the cost in performance?

The blur in the first video is a post process cinematic effect that is over done and utterly unnecessary. Any pilot that had vision that blurry would have been pulled from active duty.

As to the submarine sequence...

Absurd. No submarine that was attacking an enemy task force would be actively pinging its sonar. It would give away their presence to the enemy escorts.

Someone has seen too many Hollywood movies about the war and thinks that's how a simulator should be.

:rolleyes:

It is NOT the pinging sound of the submarine's sonar. It is ASDIC, probably from an escorting destroyer, in sweep scan modus. Therefore the multiple pings in regular interval. It is per se not unrealistic, though IRL no submarine kaleun would stay in the periscope depth when ASDIC was around, let alone raising his periscope. But I guess the most daring (and foolish) one would.
