It looks really great, fabulous, superb!!! as somebody already said, running out of superlatives

That was a very satisfying combat sequence, we got to see almost every single aircraft type featured in the sim, doing what they would need to be doing in a realistic scenario.

Yup, i noticed that too, the bomb tumbling makes it all the more real. I think i also saw spring loaded bomb bay doors on the 111s in vintage films of the era.

Overall, there's some very nice features presented too, the propellers in the heinkel when the movie goes to slow motion for example, which seem to be rendered this way from within the track replay function.

And let's not forget the combination of tracers and the smoke trails around the 4 minute mark (when the German fighters bounce the spits and in the 110 shots), it looks so close to reality...the damage models, the fact that we can see improved AI i the gunners that seems more human: they can miss, die and be scared and not shoot at all, as evidenced in the do17 kill by the spit...try parking on a bomber's six like that in IL2 and see how long you last

Overall, this is putting the excitement back on. Not that i had any doubts about the overall quality after piecing together in my mind everything we've been shown so far, but it does make a welcome difference to see the sum of all the parts animated and moving.
