Ok. I went back and re-looked at the first batch of screenies from this week just to see if I'd been drinking too much when I first saw them and that had skewed my perception.

Nope, still look pretty good to me, especially the first pic with the hill in the background.

I will say though that the shots we've seen from ground level do seem overall to look better than those from medium / low altitude, but I think those have been improving too.

Anyway, Hecke - 'crappy' is well over the top.

I agree. Crappy it is not. It's still WIP, and will be post release too. Effectively, many aspects of Il-2 can be viewed as WIP.

Ah I can see what you mean. But with the expansion of SoW, BoB will be tweaked too. Won't it? Surely it's just the beginning of a long road to awesomness. Or the beginning of awesomeness to the long road of.... well.....there aren't enough adjectives or superlatives to describe

Yeah - I see where you're coming from too. Don't disagree with that.

Yeah... "crappy" might really be over the top.

But I say this comparing the quality of the planes to the quality of the terrain.

So that doesn't have to mean that the terrain is crappy.

All good points Heck (no pun intended ) we'll all buy it on release so let's see what Oleg means about 'polishing up'. I can imagine he has a wealth of info that he's just itching to add to the game. I'd love to take a trip ten years in time....

considering he told that color tweaking is done in the last few weeks, it can only get better.

@ Johnny: Thx for your weekly videos.



P.S: I bet for a late October release.
