BTT: Great pics, thanks.

The trees are perfect !!! The grass looks OK but it should be affected by the propeller’s wash and the transition between the close view where grass is visible and the distance view where the grass is no more visible is too rough.

The ground on which the second hurri is standing where the grass is no longer visible seems to be as flat as my ex. And the shape of the grass should be visible on the bottom of the hangar, something like this maybe (I’m not a photoshop pro):





And the ‘brutality of war’ would be more realistic like this:

well... how can you say it would be more realistic? that looks more hollywood tbh.

i'm guessing to get blood splatter like that you'd be talking either arterial spray or explosive shells removing both tissue and clothing. don't forget pilots wore a lot of clothing and, at least in bob, were usually subject to death by rifle calibre bullets. combine these two factors and bleeding out would be limited to soaking pilot suits, not decorating the inside of the plane like someone has been overly enthusiastic with the ketchup bottle. unless you it's a very specific bullet strike area then there wouldn't be large amounts of blood splatter. and certainly not in such patterns as you've added.

I agree. We are much to influenced by the ketchup scene in the "Battle of Britain" movie.

Later in the war 30mm explosive shells might do a lot more damage to a human body, but the colour would be different and most of the displaced remains would likely be on other places than the windshield.

We should all be really impressed by the gunner moving around btw.

LOL! My first reaction to those shots (entirely tongue in cheek of course) was "where's the ketchup?" No matter the Gore/No Gore controversy, It's 100% better than IL2.

Is this map 1:1? Does anyone know? I hope it's not one of reduced ones "for playability". It might explain a few things though.

The third picture in the first set is simply amazing, Thank you for the update.

No , no , that picture looks almost funny comparing to reality .
Have you watched " The Fighting Lady " documentary ? , there you can see badly injured WWII U.S. pilot returning and landing on the aircraft carrier deck and look at his canopy , you won't see anything through the blood splatter everywhere all over the glass , how he managed to land that bloody crate is beyond me , they even tell you how that happened .
I will make HD DVD quality video of it tomorrow .
It's the only color footage I know of which shows such devastated blood canopy and pilot is not only alive but also managed to land his plane .
One of the well know Japanese Zero pilot hero in another documentary " Wings of Defeat " is talking about flak exploding close to his cockpit ripping off the whole bottom of his leg , I am sure that must have been wonderful inside cockpit yet he managed to tighting up and choke temporarily leg blood artery and returned for a landing .
Human being is capable of an amazing things in order to survive .

Thank you luthier for nice update , once there is BoB:SoW video available , we will all talk more in detail .

S! HG
