Anyway, that was late last night. I've been looking at the pictures a few times today, and i realize that the polygons are very visible on the IL-2 picture, while they are not visible at all in the SOW:BOB-picture..
But these two pictures are supposed to be around 8 years of gaming development apart. And to me, that is not that obvious. Then again, I guess the great leaps of gaming development do not lay in the plane models themselves, but all the other stuff. And on that development, Oleg is keeping his cards close to his chest.

It will look better in the engine. Furthermore, most of the improvements will be in other areas than the aircraft 3d models.

If anything, this just shows that, if eight years of technical and technological development doesn`t produce obvious changes, we are nearing the pen-ultimate sim. Its too bad that deformations and bending of components isn`t going to be widely modelled, though.
