Great pics of the CL.II!

I cannot wait for the news.

Interesting! I never realised there was such a crossover with the modelling team. Looking forward to flying the Halb.

Saqson and the rest of his group have a great reputation stemming from IL2. Glad to see them on board with this project.

What an awesome airplane-can't wait to fight in it-looks like a beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man...I simply can't wait! I'm glad to hear of the new team's addition as well. I've spent many hours flying in their planes over the years. It's also interesting that there seems to be hint here that Project Galba is cancelled (not surprising, given CloD's issues TBH).

Cheers,

diversifying the project team should have positive effects in the long run. Looks like a good sign that regular development may speed up if regular income matches.

Woo hoo!! I'm thinking it won't be long until it's released now. I'm still curious what the next plane will be, though. My top votes are the Be2, Fe2b, Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter, and the Albatros C Series. The late-mid war aircraft are covered pretty well, but there's almost no early-war 2-seaters. Personally, I'd love to get a good Be2 to line up in the sights of my Fokker. Not whining, just wishful thinking. Great job, and keep it up!

Any of those would be wonderful, particularly the Be2, followed by the Albatros C. I can think of a number of early war aircraft that would be nice to have and why else would they bother with the hassle of coding that pistol stuff if we weren't going to get a rifle at some point? I have a feeling, though, that we will get the Snipe before any more two seaters.

This one, though, this is a beaut. The quality of each of the last few aircraft has been astoundingly high and this is no exception.

I can't help being worried reading between the lines for the future plans to keep ROF in the WW1 theater. Is it possible the anouncement will be a shift of focus to the Korean theater or am I paranoid?
Either way I guess I may at worst have to get interested in another period of aerial warfare. : )

Love the Halberstadt.
