I read every update, and I appreciate them and think they are interesting. But I mostly do not post anything. Imagine how many others are similar to me, who can understand and not judge so much from circumstance in the media that is posted.
The updates are nice, but please don't divert more than a tiny bit of resource from development to showing things. Anticipation for the game is large enough already. The game will speak for itself when released. That is where the work should go. Allowing yourself to get tired or annoyed by comments here also affects development a bit (you know, your mood and mind will be a bit distracted from the real task of directing the development team).
The physics of the armored car is really great looking, and knowing about that can be used on aircraft and in cockpits too. And the Heinkel... I imagine that with smoke, motion, background, crew, light effects.. amazing. I think the body can probably be cut into several pieces anywhere, not just the middle like in the screenshots. Very cool.
That makes me think - crew members, I wonder if they can also be seen when the aircraft disintegrates (come flying out, maybe dead or mutilated, or alive and moving the limbs around. Possibly with 'ragdoll physics'). Often people forget people are in the machines - we don't just fight machines.
This update made me so interested in the He-111 I think I want to learn how to fly it properly, read the instruments, etc. IL-2 1946 to the rescue.
