ignore anything tree says, he doesnt know anything and and deliberately troll's and thread-craps il2 forums with -ve misinformation about BoB/SoW

oleg stated the game engine is designed for dx11, but that not all features will be turned on from the start (mainly to reduce cpu/gfx load and keep fpsec higher). as the game evolves and users have better hardware over the months/years, some of those dx11 elements can and will be turned on (or added in later patches)

additionally oleg also stated the game at release will be mostly dx9/10 to keep it compatible with older systems of potential customers (otherwise those people wouldnt/couldnt buy it), but people with newer dx11 systems will have some eye candy effects/visuals added which the older systems dont display. i suspect this will be fairly minor on release, but will matter more as newer patches/addons get released later
