I do not see the telescopic optics of the commander?

You mean Scherenfernrohr S.F.14 Z.Gi ?

Ah, a question by the way, for all: you manage to get this type of light in the tanks in game? there's a big shot of Reshade, right?

I don't think the studio cheats on its screenshots. When they need screenshots to update the store page, he always asks the community for natural, unmodified screenshots.
In game, I also get this kind of light (don't forget that these screenshots are taken at night, with the interior lights on, which gives these colors)

Here are some examples of screenshots of my game (at night with sometimes daytime examples to show the color difference)(Ironically, it is sometimes more beautiful at night).

Yes, I have a GeForce GTX 1070 and in game my settings are this:

 

And unless I am mistaken, in "Nvidia Control Panel" I have the default settings.

@Eeafanas  would you happen to have any pics of the outer official cammo scheme?

the exterior is apparently not ready yet

@Chien de garde5711"which will be released soon", does that mean more precisely? do we have an idea of the date of the next update?

[Wardog5711]

I do not have a release date yet. The external textures are still being worked on.

But the fact that pictures are being cleared for release means it is getting closer to being finished.

As for the next update, that has not been set yet. 

 

[No_Face]

During the stream, it seems to me that they talked about the end of November (without further details), right? (My English is not good, so maybe it's not that at all ?)

[JV44HeinzBar]

S!,

Don't worry. I'm leaving for some vacation time. They always release stuff when I'm away. At least they didn't give us the old line, "Two Weeks",

Since the cupola is rotatable (or just the cupola viewports, I am not sure), these could be for rotating it

Yes, I know.  It is just a rendering of an aircraft already in the game and not announcing anything new. 

And I was told to wait until all the images were posted in Artstation before posting.

Since I haven't seen the notice that they have been, nothing has been posted here. I'll need to check on that.

FULL ANNOUNCEMENT HERE!

 

Jason

hello I'll get straight to the point, I've bought the Churchill Mk.IV and it's beautiful as ever but I'm disappointed that there's not a single mission, why? and I suppose you'll do the same for the stug, please put in some missions like there was for the German semi-tracked, which I bought! it's not quite like that right, don't you think, jason? anyway you're n1, hello

[moustache]

will the Stug be "delivered" with its skin model? since the churchill came out, we haven't obtained his model, which prevents modders from making personalized skins...

That is a good question. Since they are still working on the stock external textures, I haven't seen any mention of skin models. I will run that past engineering and see what they come back with.

S!,

I look forward to hearing about this issue, too. I also looking forward to taking a crack at  painting both the Churchill & Stug. There are so many variations of camouflage color/scheme for the Stug based on so many different color plates, it could take years to do all of them. Of course, I mean if you don't limit the schemes to Kursk.

If the DD is any indication, SMOKE for StuG, PzIII and PzVI - excellent news!  Painters however are going to need to polish up (or down) some period skins for us.  One question, can it turn in place or is it doomed to operate - incorrectly - like the PzIII/IV?

Apparently Commander Stug will only have binoculars. No stereo telescope Scherenfernrohr SF14 Z.Gi

This is a response from a developer on ru-forum.

What reason was cited for not being available? Ziess created this type of binocular as early as 1898. These optics were used throughout all the services from the beginning to the end of the war.

too difficult for the team? not enough time? it's true that it's surprising not to have it for stug...

I believe that the developers did not consider this functionality at all. Either they overlooked it, or they just didn't know. I don't want to be categorical, but this is another example of the fact that the team making the flight simulator doesn't quite know what the tankers need. The situation with the commander of the SU-122 is indicative.

However, for a team building a flight simulator, it shows good success in creating controlled ground vehicles.

I'm not arguing with that. I just wish there had been a little more attention to such specific details in particular and to tanks in general. Maybe they need more contact with the tank community to understand our needs

the schurtzen seem a little dirtier, but it's true that for the rest...

Apparently the cupola ingame is not rotatable or did I miss the keybindings for it?

 

Since our Stug was produced before September 1943 it should be rotatable.

there is a "bonus" skin of Canadian troops (or English, I don't know...)... for the moment, no news of a future for TC... the "special" tanks seem to me little likely...

maybe more news in a few weeks...

Thanks for replying and the info. Sorry about late reply, first time back here since i posted. Just installing IL2 at this moment.
