How about some screenshots?

Is this the sequel to IL-2 from IC Maddox?

Edit: After a little research it's not Oleg's sequel to IL-2. Found a site that list the game for release in Nov 2009

You can find screenshots and everything related to BoB II from here:
http://www.shockwaveproductions.com/...19ed8faccccef3

As for BoB:SoW, I woudnt trust any of the release dates you see all over the internet, there's no official word on it. It's all speculation and rumors.

AI is way better in BOBII than in IL2, also, the flight models feels much more believable. And finally, if your rig can handle it, you get real big air battles, and by that I mean HUNDREDS of planes. IL2 always feels like a game. This simulation feels like playing some old video footage of real WWII dogfights. That makes it the dogfight simulation of choice.

IMO it shoots IL2 right out of the sky. Also, version 2.10 is very highly editable in variables affecting many of the FM's aspects.

It is the only sim/game I know that escaped German censorship on Nazi symbols. The swastikas are fully visible on German planes. Usually, the copies reaching the German market get edited accordingly not to display them.





Me, I am done with IL2, forever.

Try this for richer color pallete. Open nvidia control panel if you have it, and bump up digital vibrance a few notches. Default is 50, I set mine at 55.

Why should I? I like the pale colours of BOBII very much, it is more realistic imo, and it reminds of old films. And me it reminds of my beloved SBP as a bonus.

I just bought this two weeks ago and spent the weekend getting everything set up and mapping my X45 stick. This sim rocks, I remember playing EAW and the first BoB. The ground additions with the shops, cattle, ect. are awesome when you are buzzing around @ low level. It runs great on my gateway 7805u laptop
