I rarely ever looked forward to something in the same manner I look forward to RoF...
Here's why...

...hi-res movs there... you can spot some familiar IL2 stuff there, improved.
That game really owns me.

Oh freaking sweeet!

I can pretend to be Biggles

That looks interesting.

Yeah... I noticed one more (little) thing... in that 2nd vid, when SPAD's went onto some baloon busting mission, they encounter two German Fokker D.VII's, one of them piloted by famous ace Rudolf Berthold. I smiled when I saw the name of that guy, one of the best pilots in WW1 but also one of the luckiest as well!



Point of this was... I think RoF is gonna be more "personal" game, and that is something that IL2 needed badly IMHO... particularly in campaign (offline) mode.
Above D.VII's in that vid are pilot names in icons, something pretty much similar to the CFS1 where you had names of the pilots that flew particular airplanes (IIRC in CFS you could have only friendly names in icons).

So aside from probably improved everything graphically wise, now you have some new stuff implemented... I'm particularly excited about that "PaintKit" feature...

And yes. Note the distance from which they open fire .

Notice how in one of the videos one of the Fokkers? gets it and goes down with it's tail empenage flapping in the wind!

Awesome vids I've never seen the gameplay one before, it really looks mint!

They are certainly ones for keeping to a schedule too. I find the design team rather endearing in that respect. Can't wait to find out more about them.

I'll like this I think.



Snoopy would have loved it even more.

Well, he ran out of luck when he joined the Putsch of 1920...

Yeah, I just noticed it, awesome . Wonder how those "uncontrollable planes" will be modeled...
