Awesome, time for some googling

I really prefer the landscape of BoM to England in CloD, however the small lakes appear oddly lit (in the distance mainly), as well as the oddly bright trees.

I think the main problem with the trees is their density: it's incredibly hard to see tree-trunks when flying (certainly if I have flown over England, the trees just appear as clumps of dense foliage on the ground) so the team should really look into assessing how they look and interact together. The trees in RoF look great when flying, and despite being basic objects, look better to my eyes than CloD's trees.

Nice screenshots in this update. I'm awaiting the news on the patch more eagerly though.

So that people don't go off-topic in your thread

We have this one for discussion and your thread for questions (just like last week).

The last few update threads have been questions only, with a general discussion thread to supplement it.

So does the 109F indicate a Barbarossa map and campaign?

Though it'ld be good in a 'leaning accross the Channel ' senario or North Africa as well.

Oh do we know what model?

Does Lagg cockpit have less polygons than Spitfire's one for instance? I notice that canopy curves are more angular when viewed from the inside than in a Spit. I really hoped they would be more rounded.

Textures may be a bit worse because of worse Soviet paint. It is not a problem.

Maybe it is just me. Love CloD's 109 and Spit cockpits - top notch work.

It is the F-2 model that is in the screenshots. Yes they probably will have Barbarossa but my bet is that they'll vastly expand the time period, hence the La5 from last week.

Probably an easy question for the 109 afficionados...

I always thought that the main difference was the type of nose gun (15mm in the F-2, 20mm in the F-4).

So, apart from people telling us that the 109 in the screenshots is a specific model, are there any external differences between an F-2 and an F-4 that we may distinguish them ourselves?

Ok, I'll read and ask in the main thread only.
