Something to Drool Over

Wow adjustable view angle - I can't wait to play with that!  I wonder what the SA vs. targeting implications will be?  For a wider view angle I suppose SA will increase(duh), but won't the target size will have to be smaller?  Estimating lead angles could be interesting...

Will we be able to change the view angle in flight?  This is going to be wild!

Hmm,

has Pyro already posted this pic?
 

I mean, it's from his web directory  

Dancer out.
PS: anyone can identify all the bullets?

PS: anyone can identify all the bullets?

Can't quite see the markings on the rounds really but here are some wild guesses.

left to right:

7.92 mm LW
7.7 mm RAF or 7.62 USAAF
12.7 mm VVS
12.7 mm USAAF
13 mm LW (casing is bit too small for that)
15 mm LW MG 151/15
20 mm LW MG FF (Oerlikon)
20 mm LW MG 151/20 (or Hispano Suiza)
23 mm VVS
30 mm LW Mk 108
30 mm LW Mk 103
37 mm USAAF

So, how many did I get right?

ooops..my mistake

hmm I didn t know  the MK 103 and 108 actually had different ammo. I thought they were just different cannons firing the same 30mm shells. I learn something new every day

The picture was posted in the O' Club forum.  The forum for off topic stuff.<hint>

Gonna have illuminated instruments, for those pre-dawn mission starts?

yes, the instruments are illuminated, so you will always have a clear read out on the gauges.

hmm...illuminated instruments in the game = "real dark" night setting of arena possible (unklike in some other games   )

This would mean we could at long last conduct more realistic night fighting/buff raids.

Which would mean we can hope for radar equipped nightfighters such as Bf 110 G4 and He 219 Uhu and operational inflight radar for these birds, right?

Actually, just flying an entire buff sortie with only IFR guidance would be enough for me:
Accurate navigation + carpet bombing = fun.

hahahah... flying at night.  Sheesh.    Like  I don't have enough trouble seeing the guy who gets me NOW!  

Man, that'd be a blast.  Nice, all black PBY cruisin in at 100' off the water... (oops...sorry bout the unintentional "I WANT THIS PLANE" pitch)

Lookin forward to it.  Sounds like we're going to have more than enough to keep us busy in the cockpit!

Thanks for the update, Pyro!
