you guys gone from reality playing virtual entertainment games. Such moment you want everything should be realistic. Determine yourself.
You can make "origame-ayercrafft" using A4 paper. And push it on air by da wind. It's free an funny.
Also you can buy RC-model of lovely aircraft for $250-$600-$... and get more satisfaction.

WoP is best of "aircraft-simulation-game" what U can get right now. What U waiting for?

Why all the dark gradient edges and borders?

WOP looks good, now we should all understand why Oleg hasn't been an open book about what will be in the BOB SOW.

I don't blame him a bit. There is always someone looking to take away your candy.

...and there's the "surpise" factor.

Would you actually be surprised if they gave away everything we'll have in Storm of War? They want high levels of WTF?!ing going on after the release, and some secrecy helps on this matter.

Just give them time. Anyone remember how surprised you were when you saw some of the interviews Oleg and Ilya gave, where they told little features, nothing really big? Well, if we were that impressed with that, no doubt we'll be even more impressed after the release.

F****** guaranteed, trust me .

Thumbs up

Good for you lucas

I've been IL2 since 2001 and I can tell you with no hesitation.
Oleg has never failed to deliver far and away more than was ever expected.
A very sincere man about his work, which means the SOW final will probably just blow everyone away.

Well, in the Il-2 years, you never expected to be blown away. When you expect to be blown away, 99% of the time, you aren't.

"Yes those riverbanks will definitely enhance the feeling of flight .... "

I thought your whole argument was the WoP had the best detail/presentation/realism. Now suddenly it doesn't matter? To me this seems self-contradictory. Also, WoP hasn't demonstrated a superior "feeling of flight", especially when it's obvious that a basic thing as recoil is not implemented. Even worse for the 'immersion' are the American pilots who sound like Homestar Runner. I just can't help but giggle.

Well, I guess I'm an Oleg Fanboi for saying anything to criticize WoP.

I do love the urban riverbanks though: They are built up with stones, not flat beaches like in Il-2. Cities are also dense, which is visually pleasing. Graphics in general are eye-candy and the game is fun too.

Well I might get reamed here for some things I'm about to say but what the hay...I gotta get it off my chest ....I've been flying sims for atleast 2 decades.I purchased the orig IL-2 when it first came out and was totally blown away by it's realism in all aspects...Sure it wasn't perfect but the numerous 'free' upgrades turned it into possibly the best flight sim ever made and I believe 'still' as people started to push Oleg and team for more planes, more graphics, more planes, more graphics and the whole while nothing was done to improve the important things like FM and AI.I purchased all subsequent versions of the game right thru till 1946 hoping that things other then graphics would change but was dissapointed.I still believe that the original is still the best if you forget about graphics...It sounded better, AI worked better and flight dynamics were way more realistic then any version afterwards....thats why I still play it.

So although I understand that "Graphics" are needed to bring in the 'larger crowd', 'younger players'... and Im not against it as it does add to the immersion effect but I just hope with SOW, Oleg and team put 'as much' emphasis on the important things like true FM, AI etc; for us Ol' guys who have tagged along for almost a decade online and offline.

I ask Oleg to go back and play the original and please bring back that feeling again!!

Eye candy is sweet but true immersion is realism in the cockpit

I've also played WOP and BOP and believe me, take away the graphics and they have nothing on IL2 IMHO.
