Gunner position real,virtual, or only 3rd person?

[trk29]

Watching the demo we finally saw the gunner position in the Sturmovik, but is there going to be a real cockpit for the gunner, virtual, or only 3rd person perspective?

Yes that would be interesting to know, with the answer on this question I would also like to hear a definitive answer on the MP cockpits of the german planes. Virtual? "Real"? I know I am repeating myself, but getting no feedback from the developers side makes me think, whatever was said in the live demo

lordy not again :p you what locked thread topic this will flair up

This thread was started for the gunner position not the german cockpits, they will communicate when they are ready.

If the cockpits are brought up in this thread anymore your post will be deleted. Not meaning your post in general, I was meaning any posts by anybody. Sorry I wasn't singling you out.

lol thank god, that was a lot of reading that just depressed me, why cant ppl just get along lol

Do I detect a certain flavor of "being pissed off" between the lines?
They wont comunicate until the game is out, might well be.
What about german cockpit gunner positions? (HE111 nose gondola?) am I allowed to mention these sir?

No you did not detect me being pissed off, I am only stating that there was two threads with concern about german cockpits and this thread is about gunner positions. If they wish to comment on cockpits in more detail than what was said on the Q&A on the demo then they will, Anton has a list of questions from us to ask the publisher and when he gets the green light to answer he does. In a forum thread the thread is there for the topic in question, the topic should not stray.

That is fine because that is a gunner position. Hopefully they will be "real" also.

I'm pretty sure that during the demonstration the other morning that he mentioned that gunners are 3rd person only. Check the video about 1/3 of the way through at the IL-2 mission.

At this point, only Oleg can meet or come close to meeting all your expectations when BOB for the PC is out. I expect to be blown away when it finally is released (like when IL2 was).

It's clear to me that some compromises had to be made for this console version of IL2. The console companies are still stupidly focused on distinguishing consoles from computers when they should be expanding what consoles can do. This impacts our control options (officially licensed control crap limits our options), unlike the PC where just about anything goes.

Still, I'll be picking up BOP for PS3. It should provide a distraction until BOB is released.

Your right.... they will communicate when they are ready...after they already have your money. The communication will be in the form of you placing the BOP cd in your console and finding out for yourself. I'm predicting ' high disappointment' with the gunner position.
