Looks impressive -  :aok  - any chance of a street or 2 of 10 story+ high rises or an industrial park with a lot of smokestacks and fluid tanks that we can dog fight around ala early AW?? I might even climb back into a spit or zeke just for the fun of it!! :x

...encourageing to see these sort of graphics.

cheers eh! :D

By seeing the first picture I instantly thought "We're going to bomb American cities now?" - Then I saw the flak towers...  :huh :D

But after seeing buildings in detail, I think it must be a Russian industrial city...  :bolt:

@hitech : wish it was all bombable, though there must be a reason for you to make it not be.  Can we know why?

It shouldn't be a frame rate hitter.  In initial testing it actually runs faster than the standard terrain.  The cost of that speed is that not every building will be an individual bombable object.  Just the factory strat targets.  City strat targets are destroyed in blocks.  The rest is filler designed for speed.

FPS issues which is a shame, I would love to do some squad level carpet bombing. :devil

In a word: fantastic job guys!

One of the screenshots reminded me London. The other, New York... This will be incredible. Big cities, realistic, heavy bombing, fighters fighting, GV's fighting on the streets, almost house to house... glorious mayhem...

Congrats Waffle! Congrats HTC!

 Absolutely amazing.

 Imagine a BoB scenario/event that features 109E-4s and 110C-4s against SpitIs and HurriIs over that kind of cityscape...
 .. would probably be the most compelling, inspiring BoB event ever, in the history of MMO combat sim game...

 This is by far one of the most amazing developments I've seen since first getting to know AH.

 You've really outdone yourselves on this one HTC, Kudos.
