I wrote suggestions on things I would like to see if you saw that. My question is: what might Storm of War might be offering regarding these important rear crew members (especially in multiplayer with AI tailgunner)?

I already answered that we have something changed in that area. In interview. How much will be done - can't say right now. You should understand my position and principles.

I already answered even more than usual was answering in time of the Il-2 peak.

Well yes, you said that the speech engine was 'new'. That does not say anything for if AI can even speak in multiplayer though

I was not here before IL-2 was released (I wish I knew about it) and I understand you do spend quite some time on posting here. And sure, I understand your position about not revealing before being sure, but I did not know that you were not sure

I heard no one talk about the gunners or even speech in multiplayer before.

There was some speech about it.

Community, that knows me for a very long time, knows that I remember almost all my answers and important questions from users.

Well, at least there is plenty of opportunity for the features

Ever thought about making an appearance personally in SoW? As pilot, instructor (that would be something) etc, both in voice and graphically? It would be a suitable easter-egg

Happy with his little surprise Roman decides to show me something else on the Stuka, he begins showing the new physics engine and has fun letting mortar shells fall besides the Stuka on the ground. There is no possible comparison with Il2 anymore, the blast of the explosions damage objects and may even disturb them.

Is this to say that a bomb blast will move lite objects (light bulbs, chair/table, barrel etc.) that are a good distance from bombs ground zero, but yet close enough to be affected

yes. Even cars. Its why we model them from all sides with so good details
