Hi Oleg. as I saw this new Water I was amazed, nothing more to say or complain... I will buy it as it is... your work and support is without any comparison!!!

I love you oleg and crew. I want this game to be a huge commercial success you guys deserve it because of all your hard work. The updates have me really excited to see your work in DX 11. I know its quite a ways to go but i am excited for 2010. Keep up the good work. The level of detail is amazing.

Those two platforms on the bow & stern of the tanker, are they going to be for a cannon or anti aircraft gun?

By "rudder" I presume you mean the steering wheel, as the rudder is found at the back of a ship and is normally underwater?
The wheel assembly, binnacle and port & starboard indicators are very well shown, and I don't find any problem with their shadow. The sun is fairly low, forward of the ship and slightly left, so an elongated shadow cast onto rough deck-planking is going to look very similar to what you see in the screenshot. It'd be a shame to strafe this beauty!

A pleasing set of shots altogether - lovely detail.

Well as usual the modelisation is really neat, and it looks like SoW will be the most detailed sim out there.

About the water, I believe it's still WIP because it isn't yet 2010 quality for a sim.

I hope the water will be quality equivalent of Silent Hunter 4 (would be fair, that game is 3 years old now and a top notch 2010 flight sim could have that, or Silent Hunter 5, by considering that SoW would probably be played as long as Il-2).

> graphics can easily be tuned in options, if beautifull water asks too much FPS, take a lower setting!

Loved the bobardier position, ship and radio transmitter
To be honest, i don´t like the radio room, those rotarys wheels with the "metal crown" labeled "SINTONIA AEREO", "CIRCUITO PILOTA" and the other you can see on the three boxes, looks flat. Its obvious that the 3d effect it´s on the texture instead of the 3d object. If the poly limit allows it, it would be better to add some polys there and make the instrument a little more detailed to improve 3d effect, like you see on the red lever on the lower right box.

Thanks for the nice update.
