I've been waiting for SoW to be released for like forever now.
I just bought a new set of hardware to replace my dead motherboard.
If Maddox does not release SoW soon, I'm pretty sure my hardware will no longer be able to handle the eyecandy. I hope Maddox finally releases it soon.

Otherwise, I'd have to upgrade my H/W again.

(But then again.. I dunno why I'm still aching to play SoW. After 5 years of playing the IL2 series, my Fritzes and Gustavs are still getting blown out of the sky by puny Polikarpovs! Shameful!!! I guess I'll get a taste of being blown out of the sky in style by Hurris on my Emil by the time SoW comes out.)

Well, IL-2 ran pretty well on older hardware when it came out despite looking fantastic at the time. I have faith in Oleg's skills as a programmer. So long as I get a consistent 25fps I'm happy. The only time I care about 60fps or more is if the card isn't performing up to spec.

As for actual dogfighting? I've been suckered into a spin more than a few times as well as being shot down. Oh well.

Me-109 vs I-16..... What tactics are you using? Usually, I'd use zoom and boom tactics like what US fighters used vs the Japanese Zero. Even then, it's still hard for me to shoot an I-16 down.
