I must agree with this comment, in spite both of these aircrafts are beautifully modelled.

The 108 took no part in the Battle of Britain, as it was only a liaison plane.
And the Anson, in spite of being beautiful I repeat it, will probably not be flown a lot, either offline and naturally online.

For instance, instead of a Anson, I would have much preferred an Hampden, which was used during BoB and which was also a very pleasant aircraft to fly.

But this is not so important, as long as the game comes before I'm a blind old man
Hell, I'm already 58. I've been waiting for flight sims all my life! Glad technology caught up, but even I'm a little worn on patience waiting for a sim I heard about when I was 54! But watcha gonna do, Blue?

Looking at the new aircraft in the BOB SOW updates I'd say a big message is being sent here:

Post WW2 stuff

The AD, P51, Mig15 = Korea

Korea = Very exciting.

Aircraft were still using guns in Korea at twice the speed of WW2 warbirds.

IceFire you said:

"Well ...we do have a Beaufighter Mark 21 which arrived in Pacific Fighters...which is a RAAF version with American engines "

Their is nothing American about the engines in the MK21 they are Bristol Hercules !

Perhaps you are confusing it with the RAAF version of the Beaufort that had pratts ?

Did you really think it would be different this time?

It seems there are a lot of people just coming here to complain. They don't care about the details, news or even the release of the full. They just complain and whine, no matter how good or bad the news or release can be. If Oleg just said "When it's done", he'd save himself a lot of trouble from different sides and the crying on the boards would be the same or even less.

I dont hear people crying i just see the disappointment in after waiting sooooo long for some news/updates all we get is 3D models of mostly unflyable planes and news of a console game. Worth the wait? Not really.

Can't say anything about Oleg, and I don't know if any of you are wondering about me, but just read this thread to understand why I personally don't post on sim-related forums much anymore.

I'm actually in Moscow right now, in Oleg's house as of this moment to be exact. So this one is from both of us.

First of all. Regarding the console version of IL-2, let's get a few things straight. It was first unveiled weeks ago at a Russian trade show. The fact that you guys just found out about it today has nothing to do with the update. It's the fact that I'm in Moscow this week that prompted it.

Secondly, the console Il-2 has nothing to do with anything Storm of War. It is not done by anyone in Oleg's team. Il-2 source code was handed over to an external developer about a year ago, and they've been happily working on it on their own. It uses exactly 0 resources from Storm of War. Everything you see in that video was built by the guys in that other team. Oleg is not involved with it in any way. I'm really quite puzzled by some people's reaction and I'm a little at a loss for words, but what I'm trying to say basically is that it has absolutely no bearing on anything Storm of War related, and some of you guys amaze me.


Now, onto the update itself. Each plane shown there takes at least 6 full months of work to build. Some of the more complex planes can take 12 months plus (compared to an average of 1 month for an Il-2 model). Whoever said things like the whole update could be done in 3 weeks, ha! If you can build anything of that quality in 3 weeks, prove it, and Oleg promises you'll have a job the very next day, collecting the highest paycheck in his team, and playing BoB alpha in the afterhours as an added bonus. And I'll personally pay your moving expenses to Moscow from anywhere in the world.

I.e. jees louise you guys!
