After flying summer terrain forever in CloD it's going to be a nice change with some frosty surroundings. I hope there will be snow too. I remember one of the very first missions I created with IL-2 back in 2001 just after I'd bought the game. It was very simple, me in a MiG-3 on a snowy runway on the Moscow map, it was like a dream come true. I swear I sat for minutes in the cockpit looking out at the snowflakes slowly falling down and rotating the external camera around that beautiful MiG! Oh crap! I really want too fly the MiG-3 in CloD standard!
P.S Also how will the winter cold affect engine management/startup?! That will be interesting to see.
