Here are some interesting shots of battle damage consistent with small caliber weapons like the .303.
I believe most of these are from the BoB period.
No large sections of skin blown away, just lots of smallish holes/tears and chipped paint.
Can anyone add to these please?

A few more....

Re: the GUI, we definitely shouldn't have an old school one, since this sim will hopefully branch out to other periods. This cool timeless GUI looks just right.

Not sure if this has been asked before:

Oleg
IL2 had 3 zoom positions from inside the cockpit: Wide, Normal & Gun.
Will SoW have more options or allow variable adjustment, which would be useful for those with multiple or large displays?
Thanks

This Do 17 Z of 9/KG3 managed to return to base with dozens of bullet holes.

Thanks Rodolphe! Very nice picture indeed. That's the clearest damage shot I've seen so far. Wonder if the larger holes were caused by larger caliber rounds or .303s striking at an angle?

Cheers

Similar view of the 5K+CT Flugzeug.






Type of damage cause by Flak on a different Dornier (calibre unknown).








On May 17th 1940, this Do 17 of 5/KG 76 was damaged by the explosion of an ammunition truck during a low level attack of a French vehicles column.
