If the Dorniers in the video had looked like this:



instead of this:


Then this video would have been sooo much more jawdropping!

I'm pretty sure the dornier actually looks like that allready, but for some reason Oleg choose to show us something quite less impressing. He is probably building up expectations step by step.

PS! I borrowed the Dornier from Mysticpumas thread, I hope he will forgive me!

The look of the aircraft in the video was way more jawdropping than that screenshot. If it's historically accurate i can't comment on since i've no in depth knowledge about that plane.

But people need to stop the nitpicking sometimes seriously..

Firstly, the first picture is a screenshot, the second is a capture from a video.
Secondly, on the first picture the sunlight is reflected from the water and from the plane to the camera, so you get the shine. On the second picture the sun is behind the camera, so you can't get a reflection apart from some minor surfaces that happen to be at the right angle.

Anyway, the video is amazing. Dynamic lightning, just wow. Canopy framing casts shadows... incredible.

The still picture of the Bf 110 is 1288 pixels wide. The max resolution of the YouTube video is 480 pixels wide. Guess which one is going to look better, even ignoring the fact that the compression algorithm used to reduce video to a reasonable size is going to result in further loss of detail?

Very nice video! Looks almost photo realistic to me.

Unfortunately, people begin already to fight about minor details.
What will it be like, when the game comes out and FM discussions start to pop up?
The forum will be a battlefield...

The Dornier looks more like a photo than the ME110 image.

I think one is a DX10 or 11 render vs the DX9, I believe that is the main difference between the two

on another note:

The people who are complaining about nitpicking, it's even more annoying an pointless than the nitpicking itself, at least people nitpicking are keeping it about the game screenshots and I actually think once in a while our nitpicking does do some good for Oleg and the team. Complaining about other posters just turns the thread into a flame war. We have been anticipating this game for years, so every morsel we see is going to be scrutinized with a fine tooth comb, that's just the way it is and is going to be, deal with it.

Your post is a complaint

[AndyJWest]

This has got to be one of the most pointless threads in recent months in this forum. Or more accurately, one of the most pointless 'dragging out of an existing topic just so we can boost our egos' continuation of a thread. Does anybody think that their personal opinion of how SoW:BoB isn't as good as they wanted it to be, and/or can't possibly be as good as everyone expect it to be, is of any real relevance?

I used to look in on this forum occasionally, while real SoW news was non-existent, but lately, with Oleg posting regularly, and TD also giving updates on IL-2 patches, the forum has had a real revival. Unfortunately, some posters seem to think their 'guesswork', and 'knowledge as old hands' is more significant that actual information. It isn't. Neither are your ego-jousts. Get a life...

I often wonder when i see certain posts, about the troll element.

I attribute much of the stupidly worded posts, usually about some ridiculously obscure factor of the provided material, to people desperate for a reaction.

or, dedicated anti everything posters?

the videos are a work in progress, which means to me it will be very different once everythings been optimised.

so i take whats posted as an early indicator, rather than solid production values that will NEVER BE IMPROVED !

yet so many stupid stupid STUPID detail obsessed posts.

you fuggen idiots, there's not even a release date yet so many stupid stupid STUPID posters seem to think its worth trying to be intellectual about details.

god its like watching poker with blank cards, and idiots arguing over the result of each hand.
