Thanks Oleg for your answer, but I'm looking for further information, like a accurate denomination/description like :

FuG 404 Jagdschloss A or FuMG 451 Freiburg II.


I've made some extensive researches on many specialise web sites but I can't find any picture / name of the real thing.

THose aren't radar systems but devices for Radio Navigation (Wotan I and II used for X- and Y- blind bombing procedure).

The only land-based radar system in Germany at that time was the FumB FREYA (although the exact type escapes me).

Oleg,

I have never asked you a question before, but I have been an avid player of IL2 since it was released, so I would like to ask a question about SOW.

This may have already been asked before:-

Will you model random engine or system failures? It would be interesting (maybe a little frustrating for the player of course) if just after you have taken off in your Spitfire, your engine starts to cough and splutter, forcing you to turn back and land.

This is maybe a degree of realism that some players wouldnt like, so could it be an option perhaps?

1 more question please,

Again, this may already have been asked. Do you have plans to allow 4 engine bombers (Lancaster, B17, B24 for example) to be flyable by players in future releases of the SOW series ? I hope so.

Thank you for IL2 and SOW looks like it will be every armchair pilots dream!

Probably yes. As an option. Can't say right now with 100% sure.

Yes we plan in future bobers of such types. Depending of success again.

Hi Oleg! I'm not sure if this has been asked (110% sure it probably has) But how will tracers look? Just like IL-2?

I always thought B-17II had the most realistic looking tracers compared to gun-camera footage.

B17II had one of the most unrealistic Z-looking tracers.

Vibration of the camera with corresponding frequency to the low frame rate(film speed) of camera was a result of Z-looking tracers in some films.
Developers of B-17II didn't research well...

The eye see other than that picture in reality.

In Il-2 we used colors of tracers found in the documents for exact shells and bullets used in each modelled weapon. So in reality the tracers in Il-2 maybe some time too bright at day light, but anyway was the most realistic.

Really no. It is part of guidance system.
On this screen shot it was placed simply for the picture, but not as it is the system of AAA.
