-LUCKY-ThanksSkeletor 238 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 That P-38 is looking gorgeous already! Same actually goes for everything in this DD! Truly impressive stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
TP_Sparky 126 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Great update! I noticed pictures of the soon to be released 262 but Dora was conspicuously absent from the pictures. Did Dora have a squabble with the rest of the the hanger? Is she saying, "I'm a collector plane and don't need to appear with mere regular planes and 'shudder' AI?" Remind her the P-38 is also a collector plane and she appeared in her own photo spread today. Or-is that the problem? The P-38 this week and the 262 previously appeared without their colorful paint jobs. Did Dora just refuse to appear in a photo spread where the P-38 nude photos appear? 😀 Seriously, this is a wonderful view into the progress. Thanks. My only worry was not seeing dive brakes under the wings of the P-38L-25, but I looked closer and they are there, just faint and not prominent in the picture. All -25 aircraft had the dive brakes installed on the production line during original assembly, not as a post-assembly upgrade and not as a retrofit as was done with L models already deployed. The P-38L-25 was the first model built with the dive brakes and power-assisted ailerons as original equipment. Edited March 7, 2019 by TP_Sparky Link to post Share on other sites

WheelwrightPL 262 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I especially appreciate that all the new maps will have winter modes because that's the most realistic look by far 😍 All the other seasons look more like the surface of Mars, with blurry and unrealistic ground textures (I hope this post won't get censored-away for this criticism). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Just a suggestion. To avoid the possibility of trouble and to rightfully credit the hard work by the designers you might consider restating your comment as "The winter map photos posted look phenomenal, very realistic. It's by far my favorite seasonal presentation of the Bobp map I've seen so far but maybe it's had more work." Just a suggestion. They work hard and it's a huge map and remember how far we've come. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Geleitzug 137 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Cool screenshots of the BoBP cities, really great art work - however, considering that the campaign was in January 1945, wouldn't it be more realistic that the cityscape especially of the Rhein/Ruhr area cities like Cologne, Dortmund, Duisburg, Duesseldorf etc. would be represented in an almost fully destroyed condition ? I mean it is for sure nice to fly over an authentically modeled cityscape with it's historical buildings etc., but in context with the Bodenplatte campaign, where the Ruhr area and it's major cities were already almost flattened it would feel a bit odd, wouldn't it ?! Can't wait to get my hands on the flight control stick of the 262 Edited March 7, 2019 by Geleitzug 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Missionbug 456 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Now that is a really awesome DD, something for everyone. As much as the new aircraft are all amazing in their own way it is still the maps I am most looking forward to, I do hope we will not have to suffer any no fly zones on Bodenplatte like we do on Moscow. All great stuff guys, thank you very much for the hard work, really appreciated. Wishing you all the very best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites

1CGS Jason_Williams 27591 Posted March 7, 2019 1CGS Share Posted March 7, 2019 Dev Diary. Glad you guys are enjoying the diary pics. The P-38 is just awesome. When I saw it in person on my trip to the office a couple weeks ago I was floored. And don't worry about the Dora it is coming along great and the Tempest is being built as well. Same artist who is doing the Dora. Oh and I have seen the P-51 in its early form and it looks super great too. All good t hings coming as I mentioned a few weeks ago. The team and our partners are firing on all cylinders these days. Jason 9 11 15 Link to post Share on other sites

Finkeren 6036 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Words fail me... Absolutely astonishing stuff all around. Those cityscapes and their landmarks... Wow. The B-25, I want to win the lottery just so I can bribe you guys a million Dollars to make it flyable. The Me 262 looks super sleek and fast in that gorgeos model. And the P-38, the one I'm looking forward to the most. One of the prettiest aircraft ever designed and the one that looks the best in bare metal finish. Can't wait to see it fully skinned. Also, beautiful work on the cockpit, it looks very unique. Great times ahead for all of us. Edited March 7, 2019 by Finkeren 2 Link to post Share on other sites
