I think stills are less interesting this friday

Yes, the videos are in a class of their own (save for the sometimes poor camera quality)

Excellent work!

May I suggest Mr. Nearmiss or other moderator to put a sticky post with this link on top? So everybody can have at hand all the videos (and others that could appear?

I am nearly speechless. I didn't check this forum until today, not really expecting any updates based on what Oleg said last week, and it looks like I missed out on a lot of news since yesterday. The cockpits and the dynamic lighting look fantastic. I guess they should since that would be what we see the most of. The clip were the debris hits the windscreen and cracks it looks very convincing.

So to be clear, it looks like we're getting Storm of War initially and then at some unknown (right?) point later we're getting Battle for Moscow and another unknown add-on concurrently? I'd love to see MG rewind a bit and depict the air combat of the Polish and French campaigns.

Was the "accidental" showing of Pacific Fighters presentation files truly an accident or might we read more into that?

I'm also looking forward to hearing an explanation regarding the lass in the cockpit. That was unexpected, to be sure.

I'd assume it was there as it was in last week's update. i.e. as a showing of the developer's pedigree to date.

In that update, Mr Maddox hinted at the posting of a further video in next week's update.

Personally, I hope that's going to be the Su26 vid shown at the show.

Oh yes...................

My guess is SOW:Battle of Britain, SOW:Mediterranean, then SOW:Moscow....in that order. Otherwise, why would 1C have invested so much effort into including Italian Regia Aeronautica aircraft into BofB, when the RA contributed almost nothing to the the BofB. For the Med Theater of Operations in 1940, however, he already has available (in SOW:BofB) the RA BR20, CR42, G50, and all the early RAF birds, Spits, Hurri's, etc.

He just needs a map of North Africa (Libya-Egypt front, which is lots of desert, and Malta) and he can immediately put a SOW:Mediterranean on the shelf for sale...expanding aircraft types in a subsequent Med-1942 release/patch. SOW:Moscow would require an extensive array of new Russian aircraft and more complex new maps.

Just a guess...imho.
