Mostly its the difference between dull weather (today's update) and sunny.

Actually, if you take the first shot you have there and place it next to the third shot from today's update (I think they are of similar altitudes), you'll see that the landscape is MUCH higher resolution/detailed in the new screen. The older shot looks nicer because of the ambient lighting and the large number of trees in the picture. If you look closely at the grass fields in the old shot you'll see the low-detail textures similar to IL-2. This is why everyone is so excited by today's update. SoW has come a long way since those old pictures (especially if you have the machine to take advantage of it).

Cheers,

very nice !

and the icons are telling us that SoW:BoB will have a C-4 variant of the Bf110 , that means it has mineshell firing MG-FF/M canons

so the hopes for a 109E-4 are not dead

Well that's another two added to my ignore list. Some people will never be satisfied!

They shouldn't be however I hope that the mission builders finally see sense and limit the LW to 30% ish E-1, 20% ish E-3 and the rest E-4. Same goes for the Spitfire/Hurricane mix too.

Your shouldn't be able to communicate with your bombers either

One hook thrown by a troll with a brand new nick and we bite like crazy. Just like he wants us to do.

But fantastic update! The terrain now looks superb from high up too, thanks for tuning that Oleg!
