Maybe someone who understands russian language can translate it.

2:37-4:55

in that interview with luthier i think they do flash an expected release date on the screen a few times ("something russian" 2011), like they do for the other games being previewed in the same tv show clip

anybody here read russian ? its a single word that precedes 2011, not a "1e quarter" type english statment that would be 2 words in english

since it seems clear we dont get a november/december release now (bit sad after all the hype at the russian game expo presentation), and its to late for any kind of pre xmass marketing drive, i'd say that means late feb 2011 by the earliest

That "something russian" is just "release"...no season, no month

The game is tangible, and that's all that matters. Too much work has been put in for it to be scrapped. I think we can bet our boots we'll see it next year, and considering that it was able to run on the systems at the Moscow game show, we have the chance to save up for better systems

That spitfire-in-the-clouds video still gives me chills as well.

Really weird they would use Spanish 109s in CGI.

Aquarius & IFnXI,

thanks for the russian text/voice translations !

I hope in SOW Oleg will significantly dial back the accuracy of the german bomber gunners. They are WAY too effective in 1946.

Only for German bomber gunners?

The graphics look all great but watching the whole video, I get the feeling that BoB will be a arcade game.

And you base this opinion on which aspects of those rarely SoW-related snippets in that video? Or was it something Oleg said?

I am fairly certain the BoB engine will be good enough and versatile enough the came will be able to function bout as an arcade game on simple settings, and as a hard core sim on hard settings.
