The damage model in ROF is far superior to what I've seen in videos of P3, but the P4 video said there'll be a new damage model so I'm not worried about that. How big of a discount do you get if you buy P3? If it's going to be that long to release I might as well get the current release.

I'm itchin' to get my hands on P4 now, I'll be playing Il2 and BOB2 to tide me over until it's release. So two weeks?

Looks good Baur. My point of reference for a bad flight model in case it helps is stick and rudder planes in FSX, not to spawn an argument about that game but IMO FSX's small prop planes feel nothing like they're actually flying, where as IL2 1946 and COD, ROF and BOB2 all do a fine job in that department. I had planned on purchasing P4 regardless, what Lanzfeld mentioned about being able to just fly about and run into enemies and allies particularly has me excited. One last question, are reload animations modeled for the Lewis gun?

I have watched the video numerous times, the reason I ask instead of just deciding for myself from the video is I haven't actually 'played' OFF so I'm curious to know what players think of it. But my main concerns are whether or not the AI can be surprised(von baur seems to have answered this) and if the flight models feel like actual airplanes, as Lanzfeld said when you yank on them do they stall and have heft to them. One fairly minor thing I'm curious about is whether or not the top wing mounted lewis guns can move on their foster mounts in OFF, the SE5 is my crate of choice so it would be awesome to be able to fight two seaters this way. So then OFF also has the channel mapped? And can I fly careers there and such, how about carrier landings and torpedos? Is london modeled in OFF? Are the missions flown at accurate altitudes i.e 12,000ft+
