Default Will SW use magnetic north for compasses?

As many people know, IL2 has always used true or 'geographical' north for the compass to point to. But of course it's unrealistic as compasses point to the magnetic north. This was due to making the game engine more simplified and therefore one less thing to process, not that it could not have been done for IL2 a long time ago. It is a lot more complicated to have the magnetic north modeled, no doubt. Since there is a good bit of variation that changes as one moves east to west. Anyone know if SOW will use magnetic or true north??
