Also, will He111's be flyable? Or Stukas? I'm a skilled, enthusiastic bomber pilot, and look forward to attacking the London docks in 1940.

Thanks for any reply.
Oleg is using third party tree software that is visible from ground level. Olegs forests in IL-2 were a good depiction for its time especially saving frame rates. Unfortunately they did cause a few accidents at very low level.

Will the ground be affected by aircraft crash landing, tearing the soil, scraping and flattening grass, cornfields etc.
Also tanks crossing fields leaving track marks. ?

Cheers
Alpha, concerning the track marks, yes! Oleg confirmed that and there was even a screenshot!
Here is a link to foobars excellent site, hope you don't mind a direct link !

Are there shots of the Tiger Moth pits? I've had a nice oppertunity to handle a 1941 Moth.

Looking at that poor He 111 in the first pic... what can have done this to it? A Bolton Paul Defiant, perhaps?

Fantastic pictures, by the way. Even my wife realize the need for a new computer now..

I'd say AAA fire, at least the big hole in the aft fuselage. What is actually interesting about the He11 picture is the fact that it does give the viewer the correct impression of scale. In Il-2 the crew was too big in comparison to the plane, but this appears to be spot on.

Only the dorsal gunner needs to be raised by about 10cm so that he can actually use the iron sight to aim.

Those pictures of the Spitfire under the tree gives great ideas about mission creation.

Imagine a mission where you have to attack and destroy aircraft dispersed around an airfield when they’ve been camouflaged and stuck under trees at the edge of the field!!

Camouflage may actually mean something in SOW!!!!!


Has anyone got a cuttaway drawing of a He111? The square hole in the first picture looks as though a pannel has blown out! Is there an oxygen cylinder or something else in that location that would explain it??? (The cutaway drawing in my book has the skin convieniently placed over that location!

Cheers!

More questions for Oleg!

Will there be cows in the fields? Sheep grazing?

(Just kidding!)

Will there be a pretty farmer's daughter taking a glass of wine or ale to the young airman hanging from a tree in his parachute harness? Will she invite him to the barn to hide and to meet her sisters?

Or, am I thinking of a different sim? (LOL)

Great pictures! So much to anticipate! Well done!
Where should I send the down payment?
