Thank you Sir!

[Caveman]

Looking great.

Are we hearing real in-game sound in the the shots of the fighters flying over London in the 2nd video?

[Trumper]

Thanks Oleg,looks very nice.
Are those ingame sounds in the 2nd video ie the merlin engines?, also the train sounds and also right at the end sounds like a massed formation of aircraft over head.
Hope so,

Some encouraging stuff, and the tracers look fine from where I am standing. Getting a little more excited about it now......Oleg can you give us any more info on how Chain home-chain home low radar and German Freya system will be implemented exactly, and in how much detail?

I know we are not getting a 'dynamic' campaign on first release, but what I would like to know is if eventually the 'battle of the beams' will be simulated at least in some rudimentary way? IE the possibility of German Radio navigation and Freya radar being 'spoofed' by British countermeasures like 'Mandrel' and 'Moonshine' etc.

German radio navigation was very effective early on (particulary raids like Coventry etc) but was eventually effectively thwarted and countered by various means. There are verifiable accounts of German bomber crews actually landing on British airfields hopelessly lost after British signal jamming, as many were not trained in other navigation methods and some thought they were actually landing in friendly territory! *You're nicked, son!*

I think this aspect of the war would be great to expand upon and would add a very interesting tactical element, we already have the Boulton defiants for 'Mandrel' in particular. Of course later in the war there is the 'night fighter' element too, with the consequent ECM battle that involved.

First things first of course.

Thanks.

Thanks for keeping us informed. And please be aware, if it is delayed for whatever reason, most of us understand that some things are beyond your control, although there will be threads whining that it's unacceptable etc.

Hi Oleg,

So the thing has really gone gold a couple of days ago?

Even Ubisoft people said there would be a change, but if you say there is no change, are they crazy?

And does the 25th apply to the download and the boxed version or only the download?
