Any plans to do similar in other languages?

Japanese? Korean? Russki? German? Espanol?

(Or, God save us all, Finnish?)
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I was seriously hoping that article was announcing the Next Generation of AH.  Instead, it was merely advertising what has not improved in any significant way since roughly 2003.  That article was essentially ten years ago.  To be fair, AH has brought in new working cockpits aka IL2, new tanks and a new tank control system aka WoT, and some severely needed new skins, but the game and the atmosphere has not evolved since 2003, more or less.

Video looked all right to me :)



The thing that bothered me in that video was how crudely the camera was fixed during the takes. The effect was made even worse when the player jerked the stick a couple times which made the dreaded 'camera at the end of attachment' jolt which happens for example when people use helmet mounted cams that have a long attachment rod and move their head around. When the whole view tilts on and around axis quickly while having the plane dead centered it looks extremely bad (at least to me).

Some of the community made videos have made an excellent job in simulating the subtle 'floating' of airplanes in air during shots so that the camera doesn't appear 'superglued' on the 'target plane'.

Overall, communication between friendlies and in-cockpit views would have done a lot more for me.
Personally I think the video was not bad, but I agree it can be much better. A few things to consider for the next movie:

The point about radio chatter is a very good one! It is very cool to hear the players speaking in the background. It conveys cooperation and a social gameplay, it adds excitement.

The other valid point is the in-cockpit views. Track-IR smooth and continuous view movements look excellent in vids and add a lot to the realism feel. I don't use track-IR, but I think that the AH film format does not save them (or does it?). They'd have to be recorded live.
