Thank you very much sir for the screens and all the news.
There's one think I would like to see a bit different in BOB. One that i considered a bit dull in IL-2. The color of the sky.
In Il-2 the sky had the same color on all maps. absolutely no variations what's or ever. I see right now in this BOB screens, the sky looks about the same. After i travel a lot in many many different places on this planet, i know that the sky can look dramatically different from one place to another, from one day to the next. What we had in IL-2 looked like a hazy sky over a rather polluted city. when you get away from big cities and the weather is good, the sky is clear blue. You can't compare how the sky looks over LA with how it looks over Bora Bora, Moreea, Cabo San Lucas, or many other places without polition. Here the sky is just blue. clean blue. The sky color is determined by a lot of factors including temperature, particles in suspension, humidity, time of day and many other factors. That's why there are so many variations.
Please if possible try to introduce a bit of variation and don't be afraid to make the sky blue from time to time.
The same thing with the ocean water color. You posted screenshots of some beautiful exotic island, but the water has the color you normally find close to some busy port. In a place like the paradise island you made, I would like to see naturally clean blue water I saw in so many places I went wile working on Princess Cruises ships. This island map you are working on would look gorgeous with some really tropical looking water and sky around it.
Edit: I just noticed in another post the sky sea and land textures weren't yet fine tuned for the new engine. So take my coments more as a sugestion.
