I used to post on Oleg's forum in a previous life (2006?) and under a different ID, but have been away from the simming community for a long time. I'm still waiting patiently for SOW, though
. Re landscape and damage modelling, one thing that was discussed quite a lot back in the day was the smoke from bombing damage, particularly the daylight bombing of Thameshaven oil depot , although the same issue would be even more apparent with the Dunkirk evacuation, if its in the campaign. The point was that in the historical reality oil fires burnt for days after a raid and large palls of smoke were apparent from many miles away. The Lufwaffe apparently used the smoke column at Thameshaven as a navigation mark for their subsequent daylight raids on East London. Similarly, the reflected 'glow' of the fires started in the London Docks at in the night Blitz was visible to German pilots from their landing fields in France. Will this scale of damage be modelled?
And I hope Oleg is watching 'Blitz Street' - everything we ever needed to know about bomb damage - quite amazing....
