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?

Tumbling bombs look great. Also good to see the He111 bombs falling from their vertical stowage position. I do believe that the He111 bomb doors were spring loaded though and opened and sprung back as the bombs fell through them. Perhaps someone could confirm?

I'm a bit confused by the damage to the German bombers caused by the .303 ammo of the Spits and Hurris. I remember you saying that cannon shells would cause panel damage (big holes, tears etc) while rifle caliber ammo would make small holes where they hit (just like in real life). From what I can see, the .303 rounds are making huge holes in the fuselage which just didn't happen. Looks nice I must say but isn't backed up by evidence.

Perhaps you could clarify please?

Very happy overall though. Good job.

It could be. From my experience I've had video's look bad at 15 fps and at 30 fps (15 for improved DL speed). Because of that I always use multi pass encoding (4x) from Sorenson squeeze. TBH, I've never tried straight AVI into You Tube because of the size restrictions, so I compress. I'm obviously assuming this was done the same way. I've never in my memory had issues with slow motion, though. The first clip's slow motion is flawless.



Either way, I don't think it's a defect of the game per se, but a side effect of online display. Sadly it does slightly diminish from the overall oooooooooh and ahhhhhhhhhhh of the first clip. Still a beaut.

As I said. Delicious pudding.

Wonderful. Thanks to all the team.
