Now I would love to hear more about SOW and what is happening but frankly I am sure we are still years off release and I would like to enjoy the benefits of 4.09 soon.
Not having it released one month before SOW.
I know you are all busy hard at work on SOW but surely you can spare an intern to jack together 4.09 and ship it?

Vent over regarding 4.09
Now to SOW - The all seeing Flak, will the ai be able to identify planes through clouds and at high altitudes as is currently the case in Il2 or will it be more realistic creating friendly fire situations.
This would be very reaslistic especially when air bases are under attack or nearby air raids are taking place.
The same goes for gunners in planes, will they be prone to firing at anything that moves the more nervous they get....?

This comment is my own feeling on the subject (and its not based on anything Oleg has said), but I kind of look at the 4.09beta patch as "THE" final patch... if or whenever I do see the final 4.09m patch I will have a nice pleasant surprise for myself, but for now I figure the "beta patch" already contains "most" of the changes that will be in the "final 4.09m patch" (this is based on some of the things I have read from Oleg)...so I'm not complaining.

The "friendly fire" issue is an interesting one (it seems like I HAVE, on occasion, been hit by friendly fire in "IL2 1946", or maybe not)... I'm sure that you already know that Oleg has said that the "AI" flak & AA gunners will not be able to see through clouds (and "AI" airplanes will have different "profiles"_if I can call "favorite combat maneuvers" a profile), so I think its reasonable to "assume" that we could see a friendly fire feature in the "AI" (it would add to off-line play)...the "player" usable flak & AA guns will already add to on-line game play.
