Do you think the WWII pilots will be getting a face lift also?

With the pilot's head turned, does that mean pilot's heads are going to follow what the actually controller is looking at? That'd be such a small, but awesome detail.


One request please though about the pilot... can you please move his arms forward a little. I've never seen aony fly a plane or drive a car with their arms completely at their sides straight down. =) Even if you just move his arms forward at 10-20 degrees I think it'd look a LOT better than just "lego man" look he's got (i.e. straight up and down). Otherwise though, like the new pilot look =)

Tough call, many a plane, holding the stick was like holding your johnson.  At the same time, with movement of the stick, I have to agree with you about 10-20.   :aok

I was unsure up until now, but you can clearly see that the pilots head is in different positions between the photos

This is going to be a cool update :D

I don't think any of them have had the prop modelled when the previews are released.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I wonder if you can use the pilot of the D.VII as an air brake, he's tall enough that his head appears to be the same height as the top wing.

will we have coms?
or frantic arm gestures        durka durka
and the pilot is looking about in last pic


BRING IT ON

 :D

I hope so.  One of the little eye candy pleasures of RoF is being able to fly along side your wingman and shake your fist at him.
