That was great.  Really appreciate your time and effort.  

[hiro]

thanks; its funny war thunder is getting pretty beat up these days . ..  but thanks for confirming the map and planes . . .

[LukeFF]

Nice! Agreed about the difference in reflections between wood and metal - it's a subtle but very nice detail. 

[FlatSpinMan]

That was interesting, guys. Thanks a lot.

Also, I hate you.

[DD_bongodriver]

Thanks for the video guys, reassuring stuff being said there..........really want one of those swag hats for some reason.......

At your service. 

 

For a lousy  $ 34,99 the ushanka is all yours . Cheaper than the sim.

[ATAG_Slipstream]

Thanks guys very informative!

[BlitzPig_EL]

Thanks gents.

[Rjel]

Great hands on user report. I hope we'll get some more of that as time goes on. With your fur hats on, I thought you both looked like a Russian version of Bob and Doug McKenzie.    How do you say "Good day eh" in Russian?

[Heywooood]

reminded me of Doug and Bob MacKenzie....Strange Brew....anybody?

 

informative talking points - thanks fellers

[Jason_Williams]

[Feathered_IV]

Excellent news. Love the hat too Mastiff.

 

Can you tell us anything more about the new Men of War title? I've gotten tremendous value out of the original series and had always hoped for a 2.0.

[Hunziker]

Unfortunately, all it was was a game announcement but they did say that release was slated for the end of this year!   No gameplay was available, but willbe at games com.  Sorry thats all I got on that one.

Hey-hey, the forums very own press service, that's neat! Thank you for taking your time to do this!

 

I took the liberty of jotting down some quotes:

 

- They didn't really have a draw-bubble

 

- You can tell the difference sheen on the texture [between] the metal and the wood

 

- The eject animation is awsome

 

(and the onliners are going to love this one:)

 

- A 100 pluss players on a server

 

 

Is there a chance we can have the screenies posted here?

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

Mastiff flying IL2:Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad.

Lofft showing off IL2 to Hooves

I think I shocked Lofft when I spoke A little Russian to him I said Hello and how are you in Russian.

 

Mastiff and Hooves in the morning...

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

what a bunch of friends u are

 

sweet

That's what happens when you get same people with the same passion for the same thing, a friendship in my mind that's going to blossom and last.

I also call my friends the Russians, Lofft, and all, It was a pleasure to meet them, and see the same passion they have for our Hobby. I wish the best of luck and as we say here on the West Coast break a leg...

[71st_AH_Hooves]

Ok guys here is some B-roll of me just playin the game at the end of the event.  (they had to kick me off)

 

[=BKHZ=Furbs]

Cheers Hooves, one thing i notice is how smooth the flying is, when flying the other sim i never quite felt it was smooth when engaging a bandit, do you know what i mean?

[=BKHZ=Furbs]

Cheers Hooves, one thing i notice is how smooth the flying is, when flying the "other" sim i never quite felt it was smooth and i was in full control when engaging a bandit, i always felt i was fighting the game engine with little stutters and bumps even though i was getting good FPS, do you know what i mean?
