Oleg, quick question: Will you model barricaded fields in SoW? As you may know, the home guard and farmers barricaded their fields so that luftwaffe pilots couldn't land their aircraft in case of an invasion. Unfortunately this proved to be rather annoying for RAF pilots who wished to do a forced landing, but were met by large wooden obstacles, and tree trunks!

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Hi Oleg, you may have read here several discussions regarding Ubisoft, i have spoke to Ubisoft in the UK and they have very little knowledge of SOW and are adamant that they are not the publishers, its not that important on the scale of things but it does seem strange that they are proclaiming that they are not and will not be involved. Can you shed any light on this?

Many thanks

Oleg, in Il-2 Sturmokik 1946, the tracer for the .30 cals on the hurricanes and early spit models is very unrealistic IMHO. The colour is correct as you've mentioned, but if you watch gun-camera videos from the Battle of Britain, the spitfires and hurricanes have smoke on the tracer, like on the Bf-109 models in Il-2.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Philip

It depending of type of bullets. In Il-2 we don't model all of possible amounts. We select just one of possible for certain type of wepon on that or another aircraft.
So you may see in color films from different theatres even for one type of weapon very different type of tracers, also that was changed some time several times during the war.

Ubisoft is a large company. As I know in Ubi Uk all guys new. And the old that even know me personally were moved in the main office or in another companies. Another one thing - I was in UK Ubisoft office almost 3 years ago... Yes we are working "too" long, but we all would like to get really good thing. And... date of release on different sites of BoB was many time anounced... But I knew it only when it was published there.... Officially BoB was never anounced when it will be released. Usually just hope when... and almost always - TBD.
What I can say really - we are working hard... and BoB will be done doesn't matter of anything in possible future

Thanks for that Oleg, like you say it doesn't matter on the scale of things its just a little annoying to see some online sites taking pre-order payments when they have no real information or confirmed release dates.

Thanks for shedding some light on this, and good luck with the project.

Hi Oleg,

For your next sim. Is it possible to introduce some physics characteristics for the pilot ???

When you create your character for playing a campaign a number of characs are rolled.

Such as :

eyes sharpness bonus or malus to spotting (being able to see the enemy farther, being able to recover from sun blindness quicker)
Physical strength bonus or malus to shake the stick (less strenght and you'll have difficulty to keep turning fight for long time, with more muscles being able to manoeuver at hight speed better)
specials aptitudes such as great stamina (offering a better resistance to wounds) or a better support of g turn and black out

I know it can be considerde too RPG but as an option can be fun. With a option like this there's even more diferences between to pilots flying the same plane.

Historicaly the great aces are special, physically, mentally or have specific technics to diferentiate them from the others.

P.S. excuse me for my bad english
