Hey, other new guy here lol
In regard to your sound question, you would have to direct that to Anton. But I would suspect they are going to reuse the sounds in IL-2, meaning no merlin. If you read Oleg Maddox's posts in the IL-2 room, they simply thought the sounds were right one (not exact for each specific engine) they did the job though he says (i would adgree the game is legend) meaning they let you know when your engine is messed up, or about to give up.
People did make mods for IL2 with exact sounds for each engine but they used copyrighted material, meaning 1C or Gaijin in this case, and with a unsure success yet for this game, i doubt they went into detail with engines, i mean they didn't even model the gun station interiors for certain bombers (evident in a BoP video demo, also anton stated this) but I'm sure if this game is a success (i think worldwide sales close to a million is easy for this game, and those are very high numbers really, when compared to mega collisal hits (halo,mgs, sell 8 million copies, mainly due to ADVERTISING AND HYPE....(looking at 505) anyway though, again this falls into the swastika category, not game breaking but a little detail that would have been nice.
But here's what we do know, and its awesome so far
Awesome graphics!
IL-2 orginal flight model is used in this game !!!!
Arcade or Sim mode!
50+ missions, involving all the great air battles
Online mode (anton said its 16p, some sites listed it as only 8p max, i think anton is right...)
online to include deathmatch, tdm, capture the airbase, and bombing run? (last one i need to check on again from some site that mentioned it.
I do believe landing will be involved in some missions, though i don't think every mission is going to start on the ground, some may, hopefully the single missions (not the campaign) will invole take off and landing, Anton said Single missions will have more the OLD IL-2 feel and atmosphere....take that for whatever
I've seen screenshots with chutes in the air (not paratroops either) so I assume ejecting is in. I think one of the demo videos (on a xbox sku) shows a plane starting off with its wheels down, then the person finally figures out how to raise them (he never played it before that iwould say, but it did enjoy it, that was a year ago......
