Oleg Maddox has posted up a new video of Storm of War - Battle of Britain.

Pretty hyped for this...

There's a few graphical features turned off for this video, as they were having trouble getting a smooth video capture at the time. Here's another video showing some better plane reflections/textures and lighting...

Anyone else looking forward to SOW?

I know I used to play Battle of Britain when I was about 12..... that was great stuff. Kind of takes me back; except with crazy graphics now.

Being a fan of Il2, I can't wait for that. Literally, as watching that vid made my rig committing suicide. Guess after six years, it's time for an upgrade...

TBH, I didn't play that much of IL2. I got it when it came out, but I didn't have a joystick to use with it, and the mouse/keys did not work well. I could not get seriously into it. Recently I bought Wings of Prey though, as a re-introduction to WWII fighter sims (in anticipation of SOW), and a joystick as well. Even rigged up my own passive freetrack setup, which works extremely well. With a joystick, freetrack, and WOP, you can have a real blast- it's a quality title, although the game does have its limitations. I expect that the amount of detail being put into SOW will blow WOP out of the water. As a simulation, there will be a lot more going on with regards to the various systems, and graphically, the latest videos prove that it's going to be no slouch there either. I think a lot of people are getting nervous imagining how their four year old rigs are going to handle it
