Nearmiss
Your reading a tremendous amount into a couple of smileys .....
You may not have been disappointed with any of the graphics you have seen for S.o.W but that is not the prevailing opinion in the larger community ..... one which Oleg has
'noted' and decided to work on personally.
Far as I am concerned we were going to get served a steaming pile of poop for graphics till W.o.P came along and opened some (his) eyes.
Nothing so far that can be termed " HD Cinematic " graphics ..... and I am getting more than a little tired of washed out over weathered pits. Front line fighters in the Battle of Britain did not have a combat lifespan long enough to 'weather' like that..... but apparently Luthier does not find 'new' pits 'interesting' ..... so much for 'realism' when it doesn't suit us eh ?
