Save your breath, bird dog, most people here only read and understand what is fitting their agenda.

Any chance there could be an end to the us vs them crap around here? These update threads are rendered nearly useless week after week by both side's "agendas". Give it a rest for God's sake.

Thanks for the update!

One of biggest immersion killers for me is flying through a sterile landscape. After seeing the level of detail shown in the Screen shots I can't wait for the sequel.

Bring it on!


Happy Easter to one and all. Thanks to the development team for their on going effort and the update!

Throw a few cows and chickens in, along with top heavy milking maid and I'll be real happy....................maybe

BlackSix, the village looks very authentic, wth high attention to detail. Wood piles in the sheds, drinking wells. Rusty Iron roofed houses, more 'well to do' houses with carved patterns in the wooden exterior. The Russian orthodox church in the background. Picket fences, back yards, wood piles etc etc - well done to the external team.

You can easily see how the Russian village people 'scorched' their villages, during the German advance, by burning them down, with everything made of wood.
Looking forward to some more pics soon.

Well, I can already build something very similar in IL-2 today. Infact, I did a while ago.



Not saying they haven't done a good job, but the guys who made the Slovakia map did the same for no money. Better get into FMB and see for youselves. Detailed houses, fences, sheds, stacks of wood and hay and what not. All already in IL-2 1946.

So I am sorry to say it, but I am not impressed.

The Slovakia map was one of the best maps by far in the IL-2 series and my favorite. I'm sure the crew in the process of developing the terrain for the Battle for Moscow were impressed with the Slovakia map and may have even drawn some inspiration from it. Maybe you will find their work satisfactory when its finished.

I'm far from telling bad things about the Slovakia map designers. But you really think there are no differences between those two?

This was my thinking too.

I like those screenshots. Very nice detail. So later a little life in that village, than it looks great.
