Correct automatically moveable point to show you right place ot hit that to get enemy aircraft in movement will be present. But ofcourse it will be swichable in difficulty settings and on the server.
Training also will be absolutely new. Including online training :)

I can add to this something Ian boys wrote exactly a year ago, in SimHQ, about the Tiger Moth in BoB:

"Franky - the point is that the Tiger Moth won't just be another plane, it will be a REAL DUAL-CONTROL TRAINER trainer that we can use to get new pilots into the game. A couple of circuits with an old hand in the back seat then off for your first solo! "

A question for Oleg...

First I would like to thank you for the interesting pictures you are sharing with us. Many of us are hungry for information about the "BoB SoW" game and seeing information about flak damage and aircraft modeling is very tasty indeed...thnks

My first question is about "active" (moving) ground objects...will we have animated livestock (sheep, cows, dogs) and will we have moving people running, walking, working and fighting in the virtual world below us...It would be wonderful to have soldiers react to diving Stuka...and it would feel quite satisfying to watch people run as you strafe an airfield (I know their is an issue with graphic gore, but maybe people could just fall down when they are killed, no blood or dismemberment). It would help with the feelings of being immersed in the world of the game...as disturbing as the notion may be it feels quite satisfying to see the effect of your actions on a "living" enemy...And lastly could we have flying birds as an obstacle/hazard of flight? (this was a big problem at many front line airfields)

My second question is about future development of the "Storm of War" series...Can I look forward to fighting and flying in the skys of the Pacific at some point in the future? As much as I love the European theater I also love the Pacific theater and I would very much like (and I'm not alone here) to have a "Pacific theater" game based on your wonderful new game engine...please,please,please :D :D :D

I have a question about the weapons functionality of Bombs and Torpedos.
While the Bomb is falling or the torpedo is running in water and the Player get killed or crashed before they detonate, will they do anyhow a damage??
I can't remember read or heard anything about that.

Thx and best regards

Perhaps some additional CEM tidbits programmable for individual tastes, but with a much more complex engine start procedure, will we also have to warm up our engines on the flightline for 10 minutes? If not then will there be consequences if you run your engine too hard after not warming it up?

No, for me, I don't need to have as much realistic detail on the flightline as I do in the air.

I'm not advocating against it, but it'd be too bad if we get a 21 point engine start procedure and lose a damage model detail as a result. With the exception of coops, most people don't spend much time in pre-flight procedure...not even in the servers with runway obstacle courses like Spits-109's.
