If your talking about the fourth picture then yes he does, the rear gunner looks in better shape.

Thanks for the replies about the 109E3 canopy, I've just never really seen the original 109 canopy in photos and paintings over the years.

I've not seen any screenshots of Oleg's 109E3 with a retro-fitted 'square' canopy so it looks like it's not in the game.

It seems very strange that this is the only 109 version in BoB? As the E4 and E7 were so very similar, Oleg and team must have made a financial decision thinking about future paid add-on packs for the series to the loss of the BoB game, why model an a.i. Beaufighter that didn't really see any service until January 1941 but not model all the Emils that flew July - Sept 1940? is this Pacific Fighters all over again!

I'm guessing a Friday 15 th April UK release date.

Oleg,

A small observation which I feel is important enough to mention......

I've noticed that in most SoW shots of Spits and Hurricanes in level flight, the pilot looks like he's leaning backwards with his head on the head rest. I'm sure there were times when this body position was used (perhaps in high G situations) but almost all the original photos I've seen have the pilot with his body well forward of the head rest, almost leaning forward. It would be great if you could tweak the pilot posture to replicate this. Much better looking in my opinion.

Thanks

SoW body posture followed by several original shots......

Very good observation. I've almost believed that only me would have seen that. I also think that spitfire pilots are leaning backwards too far.

That was WIP. I think Oleg told some time ago it's corrected now.
