The thing I find most interesting is the radio chatter. Yes, the pictures are wonderful, but the chatter hints at some gameplay that is simply not available in IL-2. Wingmen are calling out which planes/flights they are going after...so that could mean that you could assign them to certain tasks.

It may take some time to figure out how to control your wingmen with that much control. VERY nice!

Just one note. In this case the speech is neccessary to rewrite completely or use the same actors with the additions of new planes in game.... or use the place holders...
Say in Il-2 it was more universal thing and traslated withut problems in a lot of languages.
Here it will be more complex and expencive task....

about the voices for comms, have you considered asking the community (us) for contributions? I wouldn't be surprised if members from the UK (and Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa) and Germany and Austria wouldn't be happy to contribute to providing their voices to SoW:BoB.

I realize that this might be difficult to organize (and do quality control), but I would imagine that there would be a lot of volunteers... Just a thought.


I *LOVE* the city shots! They are looking really great and I can't wait to see them populated with the models of buses and cars you've already shown...

Thanks again,

Hi Oleg

I totally agree with C_G and it would absolutely be a pleasure to do it. I have access to many professional recording studios and talented voice artists... If you send sample scripts or proposed reads, I can certainly make them happen...
We can also do multiple varients on theme or even some specialist reads.
(How about some Arnold Schwarzenegger chatter or maybe some Sean Connery... Or even Nelson Mandela)

I'm in South Africa - So any english dialect is simple to get done well (SA, Aus, English, irish, scots, American etc) are no problem at all... If you want I can even get you some radio chatter in Zulu or Xhosa... Its also no problem to get english reads in different ethnics accents (English in a German accent or English in a Japanese accent etc) Just say the word.

I could probably convince a couple of Professional voice artists to sign over usage rights... The offer is there.
