Great footage and I'm starting to like the choices of music more and more, only wish I could play myself.

I don't mind waiting for another year or so because I have military service to get over with, but please WG, make it good!

Until then, back to the skies of IL-2 Sturmovik.

yes haha.

Hi Guys... Just one quick hint/remark/question:

Will players be able to fly the bombers too (@ 0:24 for example) ??? Yes or no, whatever, also if AI flies bombers they should have an animation of dropping bombs on the houses in cities, villages to make it realistic. (!)

Cheers

Those are heavy fighters and yes you can fly them. BF-110 ect.

And where are the bombs, getting dropped onto houses/buildings, explosions on ground???

They are able to attack ground targets with bombs and rockets because they are fighter bombers. There aren't any big bombers yet, but i hope that the developers will make ai controlled bombers or a gamemode where your team have to defend the bombers until they bomb the target(s). Player controlled bombers won't be that fun to play with because the whole game about the dogfight and with a heavy bomber the player is a clay pigeon for the enemy fighters.

I think this video has the best music yet. Something about it just makes me want to go and do some aerial stunts, shout yeehaaaw and shoot some machineguns!

Give me the invite right now!

+1

Well , We have to wait for another contest ,Which is better than waiting for anther invite wave xD

NOT if u have some fortress flying up there with several MGs for defence, hope the DEVs gonna make for example the B-17 or so sooner or later... so if u are 3 Bf-109 and 3 B-17, the proportions should be same, or? Think so, several MGs from one bomber vs. one Fighter? Depends of course also much on player skills, in what a good angle the fighter is attacking the bomber (from which side, from above/below?) and how good aiming those guys in the MGs of the bomber have, and if the bomber-pilot can fly good trying to out-maneuvre the Bf109 (just as example, that "Bf109")...

Yes it's true but the MG-s need good AI because it's hard to maneuvre and use the MG-s at the same time. And you still need a good team to cover your bomber like in WoT. If the MG-s will be too good the bombers going to be shot down first.

Cool video, cant wait for invite

it still seems like fighters will be totally superior to heavy fighters as agility means everything in plane warfare
i hope the heavy fighters (germanies especially) are balanced to be high firepower, high speed, high durability and that ground targets mean alot
