So i've watched the video like 10 times now, here are some highlights:

0:21 - twin engine bomber (111? Blenheim?) spinning out of control, awesomely

0:26 - full squadron of Spitfires filling the screen.... 16+ planes

0:30 - taste of the ground effects...Mustang .50 rounds pepper the snow

0:35 - the shipyard screenshot in action....strafeable? sinkable? awesomeable.

0:40 - incredible photo-realistic ground detail + lowlevel bomb smoke haze = nuts

0:58 - furball chaos

1:14 - inverted Gs, 109 smoking spinout...love that flight model WOW.

- no less than four types of 109s, three types of Spits

lowlights: www.il2game.com
You missed one thing Crab, No Swastika on German tails. They seem to know something about marketing after all. Saw some odd squadron markings on the tails of some of the German planes. If decided not to show the Swastika, which is arguable, better show nothing at all. They are probably not allowed to sell the game in countries like Germany, France when they show the Swastika.

I read somewhere that it is illegal to display a swastika in some countries. Even in a videogame. Maybe it was on this site on the older IL-2 forum. Perhaps it was the Ubisoft IL-2 forum.

Nike-it (a forum admin here), said it is illegal for swastikas to be in video games(or anything at all) in Europe and that the screenshot with the swastika on the tail of the Stuka was posted by accident. However, I think it's okay in the U.S., but I don't care if it's in the game or not. I know it should be historically accurate, but what can you do....
