If that's the new graphics engine, that looks absolutely amazing! Flak will be a nice touch too, I'm not sure how practical, but one thing's for sure as that video shows it gives a lot of oppertunity to sit back and enjoy the great sound engine whilst 110's fly in low for their straffing runs. Perhaps it has more of a use online more than anything, and only in the servers where you're allowed to jump between aircraft so you can relocate.
That brings up a question for the Devs though, obviously it might not be known yet, but will it be possible in the difficulty settings to seperate being able to jump between aircraft and being able to jump between flak guns online? That way it'd keep the full-tilt flyers happy if they couldn't jump between planes, but also give a realistic reason to play as flak so they could move around to wherever the action is.
Otherwise, good video. My jaw dropped when I saw the tank roll up since I thought we'd be getting those as drivable. Maybe that's part 2 of the surprise
Either way, Russian countryside looks brilliant, except maybe the trees look a little bit overly-green in such a brown landscape, but that could be how it really is for all I know, I've never been. Looking forward to both of these now!
One more thing though, will the flak playability be in the next patch? Or is that planned for later?
