Battle of Britain is because
- it wasn't modelled in Il-2.
- It is a good start for the new series that to expand with new titles based on BoB in both directions of historical period of time (more in future).

the second is main definition. It is optimization of development - next would cost less using part of modelled objects from previous title. There is other definitions, but this one is main

Hope this answer is very clear.

Thanks for the answer Oleg, i also thought it was a good and interesting question.

More fantastic updates. This is looking like it's going to be another landmark in computer software. I can't wait to see what it'll be like in 5 or 6 years when the engine is running at full capability.

Crystal clear The BoB is my favourite period, so I was extremely happy when I first heard that you were modelling it.
The reasons you have stated are very practical, too. I hope that, once SoW is released, campaign-builders will work on a Battle of France addition as this would be great to set the scene before the BoB.

Was curious if Oleg is including flaperons with the 109e.


The movies looks incredible.

The start of the Stuka video shows an image different to the video (in terms of colour) Any input? It looks beautiful, but I'm confused as to whether it's due to saturation or time of day.

Hope my question is not too much off topic.

We have already seen that water and ships are of very hogh quality and I was wondering if U boots were present in BoB. If yes, will they be able to go under immersion ?

[philip.ed]

Redwan, a few of the videos from the show in Russia showed planes that, upon crashing into the sea, went under-water; so this must be possible
It was, for me, one of the stand-out features, and something that I've never seen before in a flight-sim.

Do you mean slats?
Yes.

I don't understand the word flaperons
