I really like the communications. Much more information being given, with the possibility of AI kill stealing (hopefully) being a thing of the past.

It also looks like the Hurricane in shots 2 and 3 has a large round type spinner, while the Hurri in shot 5 seems to have the smaller pointy type spinner.
We may well be getting multiple variants of the Hurricane as well as the Bf110.

I'm really looking forward to buying this game, but every update is making the waiting all the harder.

Once again, thanks Oleg and team.

Yes, we model subtypes. Including types of props.

Hi Oleg,

Really nice screens. Love it.

Question: will you include a paper hardcopy manual, or just a pdf inside the DVD? A real book would be much appreciated ...

Cheers,
Insuber

maybe no manual at all?
I don't think we will have paper manual... novadays it isn't real things in most cases... we are in the niche where we need economy very much that to be in profit and to develop the series.

Roger Oleg tank you. No manual at all? I guess it is bit of late night humour, isn'it?

oleg - have been looking at some old pics of the tanks and vehicles you have made. they are spectacular.

i'm curious about the opening hatches on the tanks. are we likely so see soldiers as well? will there be people on the ground or will the vehciles be empty?

keep up the great work. very excited about this game

Thanks for the quick reply Oleg!! I'm very interested to hear the news of this 3rd title - is it perhaps Barbarossa?

Thanks Oleg, for another excellent update.

Quote: From Mason Hurricane Leader in pic
"Attention! Engage Fighters
Spread out!
Attack Scheme: Section by section
Mission Leader speaking. I'm going for the leader from the second element.
Forming up on your wing. Mason two!
I'll fly your wing, Mason three!
Mason four. Attack the leader from the first element
I've got your six. Mason five!
I'll fly your wing, Mason six!"

For me, this is an exciting new development for the BOB-SOW fight sim over the old IL2 order menu.
The Flight leader now obviously has more control of his individual pilots which will make the 'game play' much more interesting and immersive.

Some questions Oleg.
As Flight Leader will you be able to create your own commands, using a list of words the flight sim can be programmed to recognize.
For example: "Mason six. You are trailing heavy smoke - return to base"
Leader this is Mason two - I am out of ammo! Mason two this Mason Leader - return to base to re-arm. etc. etc.
Will the flight sim eventually have a voice recognition program - built in?

I still have my big original 2001 IL-2 box with it's thick manual. White pages with light gray lettering . After a couple of minutes my eyes were tearing up trying to read it. LOL Also on the Pacific Fighter box....That's the only product I've seen where the Axis fighter wins the fight in the art shown....Awesome!

A 500 pages book? Uh...

You know, there are some print shops who can turn a .pdf in real book.

Your right, but for the money I would be more inclined to pick up an ebook reader or IPad clone (I don't think I'ld be able to afford a real IPad, my money will going towards graphics upgrades I expect), then I'ld be able to look at the map pdf's as well!

By the time I got the SOW, A-10C and Rise of flight documents printed I'ld be up for some serious spoondoolies!

Cheers!
