I love being a gunner on a bomber and really looking forward to flying as a gunner online in Storm of War!

At the moment you can seen the grab handle to swing the gun housing round, but can't.

In one of the very early videos (i think you can find them in your IL2:1946 DVD) there is some footage of both of these. In one case you could see the ammunition belts moving. In another part of the video there was a rear gunner view from a Stuka and the gun position was rotating.

Mind you it was not ingame, just some animations in the 3d editor, but it was there from the beginning. I don't know if it will make the release (maybe it's too heavy on processing power, who knows?), but the ability to do it is obviously there. I'm guessing we'll see a lot of features like these get enabled in later patches during the life of the simulator, as the processing power of the average PC rises, just like we got options like water=3, etc in IL2.

True but Oleg's effects are a pretty good approximation in my opinion and I have a feeling that they'll look better in motion.

Cool! My first Oshkosh ever. I was there for two days and could only see a fraction of it. Hoping to go again soon.

Have you seen the bonus DVD added to Il-2 1946? It was shown there very well and clear that it is possible.

Enough said for now... too early to open all playing cards
Oleg: First time posting here. Excellent job with the series so far. I'm a huge fan! Would you consider putting a tool in the sim that would allow players to create custom formations? There were so many different SOPs and methods of organizing air wings on all sides. Rather then try to include a limited selection of formations in the game, allow players to create there own and make them exportable files as are aircraft skins and missions. That alone greatly expands the possibilities for much more epically scaled missions. Such as the London blitz campaign or simply the recreation of a red star formation with a flight of Yaks for a victory parade over Moscow, for example.

I spent the better part of a year trying to make a large bomber formation in 1946. Its proven impossible in the current version of the sim...
COMBAT BOX – LEAD GROUP (A)

COMBAT BOX – HIGH GROUP (B)

COMBAT BOX – LOW GROUP (C)

COMBAT WING – Consisting of three Combat boxes

Below are blown up images that are found at the bottom of the combat wing slide for your reference.

COMBAT WING – Top View

COMBAT WING – Tail View

COMBAT WING – Left Side View

COMBAT WING - Below and angled view

Gallands cigar?

hahaha all we need now is the bottle of champagne with flute, french butter and breadstick on a nearby table.

i can practically smell the fuel and leather, feel the warmth of the sun, hear the ground crew chatter.
