Now that is the most exciting thing I've heard in a long time, if it's true. Ubi$oft has a long history of meddling with things and forcing titles out before they are ready, all to the detriment of the developer.

Hecke, you're missing the point. Oleg is not looking for feedback here, he's just letting us see a few pics because he knows the community really wants to see them.

The arrogance which leads people to think that Oleg wants to know their opinion astounds me.

Look at the thread title its called Dev.update and discussions, of course Oleg wants some feeback you plum otherwise the updates would be locked like they were previously.

I believe it's more a case of allowing discussion, as per the title, and not feedback, which is not in the title. But anyways, I'm derailing, so let's leave it.

Any form of discussion arising from the updates posted become feedback the instant anybody involved in the Sim reads them, the only way for them not to be feedback would be for Oleg, Luthier and crew to never read them whatsoever.

Just be fair to let people tell their opinion about it whether positive or negative and let Oleg decide what he does with it.

I completely agree.

Ilya - Just to be sure I understand that correctly: You can select the german staff markings in any colour you wish, right? Because they were always only in black & white and sometimes even just in one of the two colours (or even just an outline in some rare cases). Or did I miss something here?

A bump for this as well. The tactical markings look a hundred times better than in stock IL2 (yes people, I know about MAT Manager), but it's important that the correct colors are used.

Sorry but we are on a FORUM here, not a cold war CCCP TV... it's normal that people express DIFFERENT opinions, bad or good, especially when the shots of the week are far from perfect...

Like others, I truly hope the terrains will be MUCH better (more realistic colorwise, really different following the proper altitude, and with a nice atmospheric haze and weather effects, closer than the actual WOP reference in the matter - I mean the visual overall feeling to fly in an atmospheric real world at every altitude level, which is for me the strongest point of WOP)... SOW's Terrain is one of the area which is really NOT in par with the fabulous work on the planes with their hundreds of little details and the nice reflection's shadders on their painted metal surface.

There is nothing wrong to express an opinion... we just have GREAT expectations for this game, that's all. The fact that the release date seems very (too) close to see all these changes/finalization really happen is a bit disturbing for some of us
