I think I'm going to try the Hurricane too.. but nothing gives me more pleasure (speaking about VGs) than downing a Spitfire...
I'm waiting this too: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Battle-Brita...732640&sr=1-19

His Russian front stuff is pretty thorough... fortunately, we're not likely to be short of BoB reading materials.

I had a thought about the new improved "damage Model"...while I think that we can all agree that this feature should add to the immersion of combat. I predict a whole new category of forum arguments where people bitch about the robustness of individual mechanical components under damage...and people looking for credible facts on the issue.
[Example] "The P-51's radiator might have been that delicate, but the oil system would never have broken like that when over heated"... or The pilot armor (strong) is too big on the FW190... Obviously I know these planes will not be in the first "SOW"...but you get my meaning. The increased damage model will bread "half baked" ideas and paranoid theory's... |
