By the looks of some of the new games coming out it could look that good. Some of the light reflections and shadows are just awesome. Since Oleg thinks the sounds in Il2 are good I'll pleasantly surprised if SoW sounds like that though.

Nah...those are real airplanes , guys. The 109's are actually Spanish HA1112 Buchons, the Spanish, license-built version of the BF109. You, know, the ones you saw in the movie, Battle Of Britain. You can tell if look very closely at the nose of the "109" in front. Notice that the exhaust stacks are mounted high up on the nose. Not low like the inverted Daimler Benzes on the German built airplanes.
Another close look will show that those Spitfires are Mark 9's, not the BoB Mark 1. This was probably done for some tv show.

Well, Oleg himself said SoW "looks like cinema". He has made that statement several times now and I believe him. I don't think he would say that if it didn't. Lighting and shadows and textures have come a LONG way since Il2. The FPS games now blow my mind and thats down on the ground looking right at things. After seeing the FO update I'm getting pretty excited about what could be coming our way! I just wish he would show us the damn thing already.

I agree Crater....If the White Cliffs of Dover, beaches, and water are anything like what we see in the film, I'd be a happy man. I didn't care much for the cliffs on the SOW DVD, but it was just a work in progress, so there is still hope. \:\) I checked out the cliffs on another server, but don't understand what all the Ohh and Ahhs were about.
