The planes look very beautiful Oleg. May I ask, will your BoB have the big raids with 3-400+ aircraft in the sky at the same time? or will it be more the smaller battles with 50-60 aircraft, like in Il-2?

It may depends of the PC power and altitude of flight. As more close to the ground more power PC you ned that to render many aircraft at the same time.
Can't say you exact amount of aircraft in the air. Simply because the full graphics settings are not finished yet.

Hope the Avro is flyable, It would be an ideal partner for the Tiger Moth at the training unit so we can get our multi-engine endorsements!

Cheers and thanks for the updates!

Oleg, one of the very first model airplanes I ever made when I was a lad was an Avro Anson I. I have wanted to "fly" one ever since. I am now 56 years old and I hope that I can fly one in the virtual sky of Storm Of War.

Excellent update.

Thank you very much.

On planes I've seen, fabric covered surfaces are not any less glossy than metal ones, assuming they've been doped and painted.

A lot seem to be anticipating a North Africa theatre next, but the battle of France would only require the addition of French aircraft. The battle of Norway and Holland are also strong possibilities. I personally can't wait for battle of Poland and Spanish Civil War scenarios: more plane types involved than I'll know what to do with.

Great screen shots so far. I'm curious as to how the marking system will work: results like from MAT Manager or better?

EDIT: Although your team is still adding objects and tuning terrain and other features on the map, is it safe to say that the final size of the map has been determined? If so, how big is it? Any images of the final map?

Sure, if you don't want it to have any market success.

I think one of the screenshots of ships that Oleg posted showed some evidence of the hull being visible below the waterline.

The Channel isn't exactly transparent though, so you shouldn't be able to see far into it. Anything more than few feet or so down would probably be invisible. This depends a great deal on lighting conditions too.
