When we will have in future the planes where it is visible in reality – probably yes. But say on Ju-88 – it is invisible (at least in flight with high G for sure)

Will be new multiplayer code.

Probably. But by another way.

It will depending of mission. And limits defined on server.

The complex model of engine work is more advanced.

I do think we have the most realistic for the computer visualisation.

Next year will show maybe :)

. Completely decided. Don’t ask too much. Because maybe some of them could be removed and later coming in add-ons

Will.

Example: a wing gets shot off: the resulting G-forces on the pilot may be such to keep them pinned (and disoriented) in the cockpit.The same as like if one has many coins in a sock that one spins around keeps them from coming out the open end.

Maybe. If you mean centrifugal force

Maybe in future. Engine in principle allow it.

Radars will play right role. Reload planned at the moment for online gameplay.

Yes. But not a spot. Some area.

Too early question

Yes. Some time in some places.

But if all bombers attack one airfield they have a more difficult defense?)

Can’t answer it now.

It is in IL-2.
[quote="Evgeny"]
Will the radio commands to AI wingman (squadron) feature be expanded (improved, fine tuned) in BoB SoW? (maybe voice recognition feature?) New one.

Yes. But only small. Big maps we will keep for ourselves that to release new series of sims.

E-1 – Sure no.

Try in Il-2. In BoB it is improved.

Will this be modeled more realistic in SOW:BOB?

Can’t answer it now. Maybe in time. It is complex animation of pilot at first…

In Il-2 we have two types of trees - with collision model and without. These that are without are graphical feature and loads with maximum settings. It was don that to make equal gameplay of players with different power of their PC and its settings. In BoB we will have only type with collision model.

Thanks for these answers, Mr Maddox.
Why not the Bf 109 E-1? Some were still in use during BoB.

BadAim 11-09-2007 01:15 PM

Thanks, Oleg. It's good to "hear" your "voice".

Vike 11-09-2007 01:27 PM

Thanks Oleg for these infos! ;)

E-3, E4 or E-7 /B comes for BoB ?

NSU 11-09-2007 02:48 PM

Hi Oleg

great wish and question

Missionsbuilder in BoB:

Can I put on waypoint a call signal for self spoken radio calls?

so i can make own Mission with radio commands for the Player!

he fly over a "call signal waypoint" and the radio say:
"Einfliegende Feindflieger im Planquadrat D6 in Hanni 4000"

sorry for my bad english! :lol:

Bearcat 11-09-2007 02:48 PM

Good stuff!! Thanks!!

I agree.. the blackouts in ILw are modeled pretty well... Not only that.. I could have sworn that centrifugal force was also modelled in IL2.. I seem to remember not being able to bail in a plane in a hard flatspin..... Particularly the P-39 in the old days.. it has been a while since I have gotten into a flatspin but... :lol:

proton45 11-09-2007 03:16 PM

Thanks for the answers... :D :D :D
