Other than the little outline thing, I actually like the smoke and fire effects better now that I have seen them in a video.

I love the ground detail, it looks great from the air---and honestly it looks great from the ground too! The wheels on the train are actually rotating! I honestly think this game could just about cut it as a first person shooter with that level of graphics. Maybe we will see that? Who knows?

One thing that could be looked at is that the rivers seen in the videos are very static-looking, and they all seemed to be a deep blue color, which as we all know, is not always how rivers really look. However, given the difficulty of modeling water accurately in any game, the ocean looks great.

Excellent work!

Hum, I see that we’ll soon fight in France, we’ll soon fight on the seas and oceans, we’ll soon fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we’ll soon fight on the beaches, we’ll soon fight on the landing grounds, we’ll soon fight in the fields and in the streets, we’ll soon fight in the hills; we shall never surrender !

FANTASTIC, but I hope that clouds and engine sounds are place holders (ground looks quite good but clouds looks cartoony - Engines sound exactly like in IL2) . It is said in the beginning that it's still WIP. But the rest is great ! Better that ROF except the clouds.

I believe it's the final step. Someday we will se that dream come true, it's the evolution since Battlefield 1942, ArmA and other titles concept... merged with good vehicle sims. I always believe the great integration leap will come from a great vehicle sim developer, and 1C can make FPS and are the gold standard of flight sims...

I heard about human controling ground units in BoB. It's already started!

dear mr.Oleg , hi, and thanks for the marvelous eye candy, truly an awsome peice of artwork.Just one little thing that troubles me and before everyone jumps on my back i know its w.i.p BUt the engine sounds, they sound like il2`s , not being funny but the sound of a merlin is music to an enthusiast`s ears and i would end up mentally impaired if i had to listen to the fat bee that was stuck under the cowling in il2. Please tell that your not going to ruin your master peice by doin this to us again. Are you going to use real engine /gun sounds? Real meaty sounds please!!!!
cheers m8 and looking forward to flying with you in the virtual skies of Storm of war

Looks like Adolf Galland starts off the battle by shooting down a biplane and then strafing somebody's house.

If it isn't available in the release would audio files from the 3rd parties be accepted?

Il-2's sounds were pretty good for their time, the problem was that they were designed for high-end audio equipment (good sound card and speakers/headphones) so you need that to get the full effect.

Also I believe someone already identified stock sounds from IL-2 being used in the video as placeholders.
