Today I was almost ready to post such combat pictures, but then found some really bad glitches and decided to do not post. Simply because of things that I told right now above...


There was battle of stukas with spitfires, Fiats G50 in flights, Dornie, He-115, etc...

It´s definitely coming close , don´t you think?
Oleg, do you think a system spec will be available soon?

Forgot to mention that today's was a good update. There really is a good sense of scale in these shots. The hangars look enormous, ready to fit a plane! In Il-2 the sizing of objects is right, but one can't really get a sense of how large they really are.

Lighting is excellent, colors are looking great. The clouds in the first and third shots are awesome, pretty much spot on. It looks like they will be pretty big as well. Sky and atmospheric haze looks great. Can't wait to see the dogfight with the G-50s.

I'm wondering, how will high altitude appear in SoW? Il-2 is optimized for low altitude, and as a result, when zooming upward to 20,000 meters in an Me-163, the entire ground surface below me is contained within a circle, which looks pretty weird to say the least
