250

Dear friends!

We would like to congratulate you on the very important holiday - 75th Anniversary of the Victory in Europe! On this day 75 years ago the hard and long road to peace, that cost millions of lives, has finally come to its end at the European theater of the world war. The people of all nations got a second chance to live. Let's remember the heroic deeds of our ancestors and be thankful to them - even though that today's crisis and problems are significant, they can't be compared to the gravity of the situation and the hardships of those years of war.

The life that was given to us by the heroic deed of our ancestors continues. Coincidentally, this is a small anniversary for our project, which is entirely dedicated to the World War II events, as well - you're reading its 250th Developers Blog. Our work on the sim also continues - in 2 or 3 weeks we plan to release the next update 4.006.

[ZachariasX]

Really beautiful! The inside cockpit look is just fabulous!

[Danziger]

Fritz is looking great too!

[=RvE=Windmills]

Very nice.

 

With it coming out soonish, will we have some more info on the 9T available modifications/variants?

[Sharpe43]

Fritz the pilot reminds me of Jason Isaacs, somewhat.

Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous Messerschmitts

I've had the 9T pre-ordered since it went up for sale and you have no idea how excited I am to finally get my hands on one

Same here. Now I am awaiting anxiously for the preorders to go up for the new La-7 and Yak-3!

[Blitzen]

I wonder if the render changes will have any noticeable effects on the clarity & SDE in various VR setups like Pimax?

Personally, my number one dream plane for the Soviets is the Tu-2 (preferably S, but I will take any!)

 I'm kindof hoping that they hold off with the La-7 and Yak-3 so that they can give us a Tu-2 or Il-4 with it (and Fw-190A9, Bf-109G10, He-162)... in a '44-'45 East scenario...

[40plus]

In a testament to how valuable these DDs are, I have now pre-ordered the Yak 9T. ?

Please don't tell my wife.......

 

Keep up the fantastic work guys!

I would love it too. Normandy and Bodenplatte timeframe from the east side would be pretty awesome. It would make for a very satisfying career as well going through the big battles from Moscow to Poland and Germany.

Finaly Yak-9T

Buy the Yak.  If you play career I have PWCG going to the end of the war now on the eastern front, so you will have a place to use it offline.  If you play more MP then buy it because it's at least a little more competitive with the later war German types.

Quick note: PWCG currently covers 1944 and 1945 in the east.  Use the Stalingrad and Bodenplatte maps so not ideal, but it's there.

Simply gorgeous!

Not quite yet, but the next generation of gaming will put some digital print artist out of business when you can just frame a screenshot of the game you are playing.

Hopefuly anounced in next DLC over Poland

[CanadaOne]

Il2 is pumping out some amazing eye-candy.

 

Undecided on the Yak-9, might buy it just to show support. Can't see buying both models unless the plane is next-level gorgeous.

But, but he didn´t play ze germans...seriously I loved him in Armando Iannucci’s “The Death of Stalin” playing Zhukov.

Check the surface detail on the wing.

So do a lot of modern celebrities.  We know we'll get a lot more entertainment value for our money here though.   

[dburne]

Exiting news in the Diary.

I look forward to checking out the new Deferred Rendering technique!

[ScotsmanFlyingscotsman]

Yes an important anniversary that shows what we can all do when we all work together.

Good news also about the update to come thank you

Great movie. Best part about that role: apparently they had to dial down the number of medals they put on his uniform, because the real number looked too over the top.

Also, IRL was a penpal with Eisenhower. The world is a strange place. 

[Voidhunger]

It looks superb,  new shading! Is it possible to see some more screenshots, maybe from testers?
