I wanted to ask if there will be effect of cutting off enemy propeller after ### ###### lucky shot, but I know it's impossible to have this due to death from being too excited

We'll just have to ask Oleg to include a Radio_OK() parameter in Devicelink and then get the makers of TeamSpeak to patch their program to disable the com's system if it's false!

Only a low dog would use an older version that didn't disable your wireless! That would be like using Team speak in ROF!

That pic… oleg give it to me. He sends me all de screenshots to me first, and them he post here. I remember, in the 80’s when he design the sukhoi 27, I give some references. Mather of facts, when he was producing il-2, I teach oleg some secrets thing of aces , you know, air combat staff, and essentials and difficult Maneuvers and movements in dogfights,.




Okey, lie, I am a fraud ... I stolen that pic , ok?

probably when radio station is damaged it may happens, but not when wire... We are on the way to modle many things...

However I may say that with radio chatter the quality depends of the distance between the planes or plane and ground control. Same should be for the game internal voice online channels (at least programmer told me he did it by my request...)

We don't plan to block any of external programs. But there always may present possible conflict with drivers when two programs using it simultaniosly.

Would be interested to know if RAF aircraft will fly in Vics as standard in BOB as they did historically.

This was very difficult / impossible to achieve when modelling early-war RAF in il-2 (though I am aware that il-2 never really attempted to cover this theatre/time.)

So I would hope that there will be a means of choosing formation type in the mission parameters so that RAF can fly vics in 1940 then move to finger four in 1941, etc.

Also, one of my pet peeves with il2: wingmen who abandon formation and charge headlong at the enemy on first sighting! Would like to see an ai pilot spotting a distant enemy formation call out clock and height postion while maintaining discipline and formation. (possible exceptions being some rookies and Polish!)

Will and not...

aside from that, whatever pilots broke the V formation instruction were the smart ones, and were much more likely to survive for longer (free historical fact for you there)

We plan to have Polish and some other countries fighting on British side. However the problem at the moment - I don't know if we will be able to record all speeches (especially for example mixed some bad English + Polish speech)

Anyway I will probably post later the request for community to record for us (better to say for users) some waves sounding in Polish, Czech, etc. Of course will need Italian...

Wow!

This would be really cool!

I always felt like: "Hey, give them some time, the longer it takes, the better it will be." Considering your goals, it's really just a matter of time, it seems, and I'm really looking forward, not only to the initial release, but also what things you will add after that, when you and your team have the time and the reassurance, that SoW will be rocking the simulation genre.

What do you mean:
1. Battle order in action?
2. Types of columns?
3. Both?


What I can say for now:

We made the feature that user can build own columns in aditional to standard sets. Almost no limit in amount of units in columns.
We made new AI for the movement, parking, search, fire, etc...
We keep battle order like in Il-2 as it is done using Guderian's tactics... that were in use commonly (Really the basis was developed by russians, however Stalin killed/repressed allmost all real talent commanders before the war.... Germans were learning military skill tactics in Russia for a long enough time before the war... That is not so much widely known fact.)


Why we did so much for BoB, where it wasn't in use?
Simply we should think about online gameplay and future of the project expanding.
