Sporg Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 B-17 wasn't shiny as in polished during WW II. For several reasons, visibility and labor being among them. The shiny polished warbirds is an airshow thing. Back then they were tools for a serious purpose.

czart13 Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Exactly. The empty plane looks strange. I am also waiting for the appearance of the crew on board B-17.
rayrayblues Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Exactly. The empty plane looks strange. I am also waiting for the appearance of the crew on board B-17. How about being able to load bombs and send them on a bombing mission? Kinda strange to have a bomber with no bombs let alone no crew.

The B17 in DCS has bombs and will drop them On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/philstylenz Storm of War WW2 server website: https://stormofwar.net/

streakeagle Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 This photo showcases how the natural aluminum typically looked on a B-17G in active service. It also shows my favorite version of the plexiglass nose: no seam or frame except where the flat plate is for the norden bombsight. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
streakeagle Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Many bare aluminum fighters were polished for speed. It wouldn't surprise me if a few B-17s were given a similar treatment. If they were concerned about being spotted, they would have kept painting them. Instead the focus was on saving weight and money once air superiority was pretty much achieved. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ApacheDoctor Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Any chance of performance enhancements on WWII assets? I recognized that Ugra is done with the Normandy map (maybe someone can sell the rights and make the map a proper map), and we can get back to making this an awesome theater again. Reason I ask-monster machine, Reverb, and went to play a campaign mission that both with a reduced amount of B-17s and full compliment in VR, my machine crapped out. Playing the SAME mission in TrackIR, no reduction in units, I got a 60-70 FPS on Ultra high settings.
