I'm not being sarcastic. I think the game looks great here, and if one rolls their mind back to the beginning of Il-2, the game looked a lot better in real life than it did in the initial pictures. I remember when Il-2 came out, I put off buying it until I found the demo, and it blew me away. It just looked, played and seemed so much better than I had pre-estimated.
So with SoW, I can't wait to see how it looks in the hands of the community: especially on a really good PC, and not Luthier's 'crappy' one I can't afford a new PC to run the game at the moment, so I don't know when I'll be able to play the game.

I think whats going to be the most fun Philip is the damage model to the engines. I remember Ilya talking about that. Something about each cylinder in an engine could be individually damaged. Probably many other things too like reduction gears etc. We'll have to wait and see.

At the moment there is no changes for the release date - march 25 of this year

In Russia and in the west - at the same date.

Oleg, there was a thread at SimHQ in December or November where we could ask questions to you in a sort of Q&A.
When will you be ready to show us the answers?
Can't wait to read them.

WW2 progressed the same way to. Russia grinding it out from the east and the allies from the west. Coincidental? Hardly think so. Me thinks Oleg is a romantic.

Thank you for setting that point straight

I hope Cliffs of Dover will be a resounding success and development will continue onwards. I can't wait to get in that Tiger Moth!

Thanks Oleg for putting some minds at rest. Obviously most here understand that developing a Flight Sim of this calibre is a great challenge, we know you guys are working hard and doing your best. I hope no one is yet having to sleep under their desk?

P.S

I have told my Wife not to expect to see me much on the Week End of the 25th
