I understand that in Cliffs of Dover, which is much more detailed than the BoX games (though now under management by the same team, so hopefully fixes will be coming in for problems), the He-111 (which already has a nice view) actually has a command to open the top hatch and raise up the seat to look around. It even pops up a little windshield!

Seriously? In the pilot position?

I don't think that is the case. CloD (properly IL2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover) was developed by the makers of the original IL2 series. BoX (properly IL2 Sturmovik: BoX) is a totally different game engine, developed by a different team 777 Studios. I think that 777 acquired the name IL2 Sturmovik, but handed over the code for CloD to an independent group of modders (Team Fusion). TF have re-worked CloD and now sell it as CloD Blitz and are in the process of making a Mediterranean add-on. Basically any fixes/changes in BoX will not affect CloD and vice versa. Just ignore the the words "IL2 Sturmovik" in all these titles and it becomes a lot simpler to follow...

God knows the damage I could do just hopping into a bombardier's position.

I feel as if this was meant to be a hidden metaphorical message.

What do you mean by hidden?

It would not be 'terrific' that's for sure!

Flew the A-20 first time tonight.. what a breeze and joy to fly.. especially taking off and landing.. Tri landing gear must be the difference!

The Battle of Kuban has freaking P-39L-1 Airacobras, too.

Haven't tried that on yet. Only did the ME 110 g with Ironx before today's Havoc flights. That was fun, we were skip bombing ships.

Gusington · December 19, 2018, 09:18:44 PM

Me 110

Toonces · December 20, 2018, 10:29:37 AM

Yeah, Kuban with all those U.S. planes is going to be a must-buy.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

Steam sale starts in mere minutes...it can hear me welping.

I've got Kuban...presently trying to determine whether I should get bodenplatte...

Toonces · December 20, 2018, 10:42:30 AM

Wait...Bodenplatte was what I meant, not Kuban. Isn't Bodenplatte the one with the P-38 and P-47? I guess I could just go look it up myself, but you know...Gus.

Yes. You meant Bodenplatte.

Quite. I might go full premium edition on that. That planeset is pretty amazing.
