1CGS Han Posted August 7, 2020 1CGS Share Posted August 7, 2020 Just now, Han said: 257 Hello! Have you heard about wave interference? It's amazing when the processes in people's lives have direct physical analogies. In particular, how topics for our journal entries appear is a good example. In the development of projects of the IL-2: Great Battles series, there are a lot of very voluminous and lengthy tasks. And sometimes it happens that the intermediate results of different large tasks appear one by one, creating a subject for the diaries. Sometimes it happens that the "wave" processes of development progress in all directions and it gets to a stage when the intermediate results cannot yet be published, but sometimes it also happens that in all directions at the same time appears something that can be gladly demonstrated. And exactly this variant of "superposition of wave development processes in different directions" happened this week, which, of course, is always pleasant. ........................................

Juri_JS Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Great to see that the Velikiye Luki summer map is finally finished. Does anyone know which battles took place in the area in summer 1941? I know that there was a Soviet counter attack that recaptured the town in July, but that's all I know. What was the situation in the air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidhunger Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Looks good, thanks! I hope there will be some other smaller improvements to TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Face Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) I am precisely on the last mission of the campaign in FW 190 A3 on Velikiye Luki. I'm happy to be able to discover it in summer. Well done to the author and thank you to the teams. Edited August 7, 2020 by No_Face 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: Will there be Luftwaffe and VVS careers for that map/area of operations when the map is released? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade_Monkey Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Very impressive!! The VL summer map looks stunning, an area with so many bodies of water looks much more interesting in the summer. Typhoon also looking great, with those thick wings it's going to be a favorite for BON ground pounding. Female pilot (making history!!) and notes and improvements for tanks also fantastic additions to the great battles franchise. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avimimus Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 A proper rail yard?! More aircraft with female pilot options (that had previously been said would be too difficult to do in the short term)?! First Typhoon pictures and variant info?! Certainly well worth the wait!

Missionbug Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I have been hoping to see a summer version of Velikiye Luki since it first came out, it looks awesome in the winter but having it available for summer is superb, many thanks to the map artists glad they took that on. Tiffy, what can be said, the mighty mud mover, awesome. New pilots and uniforms is always great, particularly the female variants, nice one. Thank you very much guys, really appreciate the updates, take care and be safe. Wishing you all the very best, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smink1701 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Thanks for the update! A lot of great stuff here. Did I miss the release of the Hurricane? If it’s still WIP I’m surprised the update did not include an update! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they can copy&paste that to the Rhineland map a few dozen times. Would help the atmosphere there. Also twin-line rail tracks are sorely needed in the Rhineland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavN_Sone Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Bringing into the game an equivalent of 'station notes' for planes as well would be verry beneficial too, easing the learning curve for newcomers! *dreaming about a kneeboard-like functionality 😌 Edited August 7, 2020 by RavN_Sone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwo1f Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 How did you know I was whistling for a Tiffy? -- good stuff! Map looks great too and a welcoming addition to the piloting skies. Thanks for keeping us informed. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedKestrel Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Good work on the Velikiye Luki map! Give that map-maker a raise! Nice to see updates on the Typhoon, as well, looking forward to moving mud in that bird. And the new pilot models look great, its great news to see the female pilots also in the Yak-1 and 1B to represent the women that flew them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch2 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 and although it does not include all of our most modern map tech (such as buildings with increased detail), Are we talking about the modern similar to MS FS2020 map tech here, if so that would be great in BoN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendo Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Great update! I already thought the Velikiye Luki map was the best winter map in the series, so looking forward to the "improved and updated winter version" And the summer map looks great and is a nice surprise. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexmarine Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 All great news but... What happened to the Hurricane Mk.II?

616Sqn_Tyggz Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The difference over 4 years is really astonishing. Very much looking forward to menacing tanks with the Hurricane and Tiffy!

Camm built the Hurricane that way as well. Downside is you don‘t really go much past 400 mph. Looks really good, great job! And thanks for the TC notes. They will be very useful.

Probably work on internal stuff like flight modeling and modifications that is difficult to show in a DD. We will see more of it when the cockpit and textures are complete. Considering we are seeing reference to 4.009 in the tank crew stuff and they announced the "Hell Hawks" campaign we could still see it before the end of August. Turns out my speculation-o-meter needs some calibration. Edited August 7, 2020 by RedKestrel LOL, Ninja'd by Jason! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IckyATLAS Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I applaud the possibility to choose between male and female pilots for the UV and Yak planes. Female pilots have made a very important contribution in WWII. The tempest seems excellent, and attacking locos and train convoys will be a must. New Velikiye Luki map is very interesting. By the way I hope you will improve the railway network on the Rhineland map. Frankly it is very poor. When I see the railway depot on the New Velikiye Luki map, we should have more of that on the Rheinland map. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
