[@patriciafarmer2991]

I loved watching this when I was little. Seeing it now brings back old memories. Very good ones.

[@chokworld]

I. Still a kid

[@geo.m1639]

Same lol

[@hartmannf4169]

Same here lol

[@imanin9972]

haha same

[@itsme_arthur7563]

Same i was watching this when i was 9.. damn time sure flies

[@Prof1989]

This game is so freaking detailed. It looks and feels so awesome...still I prefer IL2 1946...mainly for the custom battles and the huge amount of aircraft to choose from. A remake of 1946 with these graphics would be awesome.

[@Skyfaller2010]

One of the most beautiful sims I have ever flown or seen...

[@claudedornier9858]

One of the very best close up views of these beautiful ww2 aircraft, I absolutely love it..

[@kuzushiji]

Awesome video!! From Japan

[@SammyLBusby]

This will be THE release for me this year!!! Cannot wait until April for this one!!!!!

[@monkeypilot2034]

its already release

[@Profanwolf]

@wolffromsteam 1946 is still supported today, a patch was released just a week ago, they're not giving up on it any time soon.

[@Splatter1842]

You "can" run with either but a joystick or flight stick is highly recommended as it allows supreme control compared to the latter and im fairly certain you can run a three screen display

[@user-wo3iu7yy7e]

This trailer is pure nostalgia...

[@Sharky8186]

Ive been waiting years for this. Its finally here. Amazing.

[@colinallison.785]

Just brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed this, loved it! I have a friend who flew Sunderlands and I will definitely be sending him this one. Thank you for great work.

[@wertos22]

when i play Il-2 1943 i feel freee in the plane. it must be amazing to play with that grapichs

[@Havenard]

IL-2 Sturmovik 1946: Forgotten Battles is currently the best combat flight simulator there is. But this newer version, Cliffs of Dover, still have a lot to be worked out. Require a extremely powerful PC despite the graphics are not that good, and got only 25 flyable airplanes so far.

[@user-cl2tl6rh7b]

Спасибо за счастливые часы, дни и если сложить всё вместе месяцы проведенные за этой игрой. лег с командой воплотили мои мечты детства когда я бегал с самолётами и запускал их во дворе.

[@RAF33Strike]

This is going to be a simulation masterpiece!

[@Quadro2k]

Clod has just had a patch update and has improved performance massively. The sequel is currently being made and I have every bit of faith that this time we will see a sim worthy of replacing IL2. For now though, IL2 still, after over ten years is holding strong. I really mean this, it will get better.........

[@dmitrygamayunov9525]

Шикарный проект Олег! Спасибо!

[@kolbpilot]

@Bra23we12 I'm going to wait longer than that. First, to let Ubisoft expand the series, just as IL 2 expanded to the '46 version. Also, many mods will be done by then & the bugs worked out. And, as you said, what was once super-computer territory becomes everyday average desktop. I'm still not the slightest bit bored with my IL 2 Sturmovik 1946 game, all being played smoothly on my lowly eMachines desk top. Look forward to the future though.

[@truelazerlight]

Since this is an official trailer and they show the name of the composer, you would assume that the music has been written specifically for the trailer/game.

[@iaidagger8278]

Exceedingly well made details in camuflage as well as armament in all planes!!!!..., nevertheless all these planes were not used in this theatre of operations at the same years nor did the Italian planes!!!!!.......Congratulations various types of aircraft in a sole thriller!!!!!... Thank you for sharing!!!!...I am a forever aircraft lover!!!!....

[@rakgitarmen]

The tiny details are insane.

[@EmanuelsUtube]

God Bless you Oleg and your team. Nice Job Everyone. It had worth to wait! Awesome Job !!!

[@AngelofDeath595]

cool video mate nice work in making it u did a great job.

[@OlegMaddox]

@MCCiabattaGrande Yes, the same design like in original Il-2(by request of users) but much more advanced.

[@Caktusdud.]

Irrelevant to the comment but what is the music actually called?

[@theboxerheads]

my great grandfather was a hurricane pilot in the battle of britain and he said that those stukas just fell right out of the sky poor bastards

[@memedump6198]

Back in 2015 my classmates would listen to sum random musics Meanwhile me watching this video:🗿

[@SUP_Bigans]

This is actually the best sim ever done in term of graphic quality! I also tried DCS and Great Battles but they are far away from Cliffs of Dover. I'm very exciting for the Tobruq module with the chance to fly the best Macchi 202 Folgore over Sea and Desert. Hope Team Fusion evaluate also Sicily and Malta map.

[@Mehmnoch]

OlegMaddox is a time traveler : he came from the past to show us how was the air war and makes video games.

[@OlegMaddox]

@Sweler1 Боюсь, что машины такой еще нет, чтобы все это было в детализации шутера на площади карты в 100+ тысяч квадратных километров... в Шутере квадраные километры.... а не сотни тысяч Если сделать как вы просите - то будет 0 кадров в секунду. Ну а для тех кто хочет наполнить жизню всю землю и города - вперез за редактор встроенный в игру (так же как было в Ил-2, но только более продвинутый). Вы бы понимали о чем разговор хотя бы когда рассуждаете о домиках. Все сделано оптимально.

[@MACADEMIAC]

Fantastic video. So much better than the initial promotional video...now you have my attention!

[@OlegMaddox]

@FreeRaper в КХ нет и намека на ту детализацию, что в БзБ. Извините, если не видите. Если вы считаете что что картинка лучше с овербампмапингом и пересветами с глянцем, где их принципиально не должно быть на матовой поверхности, то в БзБ всего этого нет. Это симулятор, а не аркада.

[@Basilisk195]

The black & white lower surfaces of the Spitfires (4:22 - 4:24) not longer was used by the RAF at the "Battle of Britain". But nevertheless good details.

[@gionight12]

Олег благодарю вас и вашу команду за проделанный труд, все о чем я мечтал вы воплотили в этом проекте. Единственная просьба не обращайте внимание на нытиков что-бы вы не сделали как-бы не хорош был-бы конечный продукт найдутся и такие которым все равно будет мало . Еще раз спасибо за IL-2 и все что с ним связано

[@toad465]

@OlegMaddox Can you tell us what the PC specs were when flying these segments of footage? I'd also be interested in the software used to create the film footage, including the blue screen stuff. Oh, by the way who were the two guys acting for the blue screen? Thanks T_O_A_D

[@LVRACEFACE]

You certainly can tell the difference between the impact of an mg round and a cannon round. What a punch.

[@SuperMrDmc]

Yes it takes a powerful pc to play it, if you want to play games like this, you will need an i5 and a 7850 or gtx 56 ti graphics card.

[@ToreDL87]

Ah would have loved to watch the bits and pieces of enemy planes simply distort when the air around the aircraft wringles it off like you see on those old guncam films. Nice though! Very nice! :)

[@johnk6346]

Thank you for making this I think this is really cool.I enjoyed it

[@OlegMaddox]

There is present modelling of almost everything in realtion to weapon.

[@messerschmitt7240]

Hey Oleg what is the music name which you have used in this video pls can you tell.

[@Caktusdud.]

What is the music called?

[@HarryVoyager]

What gets me is during the slowdown you can see the prop blades. Is the prop pitch actually visually modeled? It reminds me of when I first saw the opening film in Il-2, when I realized that the wheels kept on spinning after the planes had left the ground. Was that a Beaufighter I saw?

[@cphaza]

@Conwaya321 yes and yes. Have a quality PC at your desposal for maximum effect and gameplay

[@ralphmcdonough9509]

😎👍 BRAVO !!!! Thats alot of work!!! Well Done. 🙌 🐯

[@1Fireskull]

1C Company, The trailer is fantastic! This surpasses the IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 combat flight simulations by leaps and bounds! Cliffs of Dover is certain to be a global hit. I have posted a link to this at the website of which I am an Administrator. ( Name not posted here in respect to you. ) The tracers are much better than previous IL-2 and thank you for the quality of the whole simulation.

[@doatg1967]

This games was pushed out the door unfinished so its still in beta stage we need to start hearing good things about this game again. Praying for the best dont give up making it better.

[@user-nm4gt9zx7k]

@Kevlar4ever, полностью согласен! Вы написали намного мягче и корректнее, чем я, но в целом, полагаю, мысли у нас схожие. Вы совершенно правильно сказали - ничего лучшего нет. Нет и всё. Сравнивать не с чем. Конкурировать - ну, разве что с самим собой (т.е. с Ил-2). Поэтому будем довольствоваться тем, что есть. А вообще, помнится, когда-то считалось, что БОБик будет рвать КХ по всем статьям, а в итоге он не только не рвёт, а во многом (в зрелищности, в оптимизации) ещё и проигрывает...

[@Countdown70s]

the nightfighter Beaufighter A. was not in service during BoB B. would never go up to engage as a day-fighter even if it did....even the Blenheim, although officially in service as a day-fighter/fighter bomber, was still months away from it's debut as a AIR night-fighter..

[@Countdown70s]

I think very early versions of Beaufighter with non-dihedral tailplanes etc, gun ammo-drums s that had to be re-loaded by the back seater., might have begun appearing during early 1941..in the meantime maybe, Havocs with large spotlights mounted in nose even had been tried..

[@Countdown70s]

one nice example on pintinterest .. i.pinimg.com/564x/e8/f2/8d/e8f28dbc005e62de0e0ad14115525a02.jpg they give it as operational at Feb 1941, whether any were operational for NF any earlier, Wiki would probably lay it out..ger

[@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu]

I love WW2 German aircraft designs. So advanced.

[@rawnukles]

I noticed the awesomeness. I'm worried Cliffs of Dover will need a quad core to run smoothly? will it really run well on a duel core?

[@valiumsummer]

Some questions: How do you guys fly these birds (joystick or keyboard mouse) and could I run in on 3 screens?

[@user-nm4gt9zx7k]

@OlegMaddox Да, длительное ожидание породило много мечт и фантазий. Но всё это было не на пустом месте. Для многих поклонников жанра вы являетесь кумиром, непререкаемым авторитетом, почти Богом. Да! И от вас действительно ждали многого! Например, динамическую погоду - это изначально заявлялось как одна из основных фич. Ждали, что в целом игра выйдет на новый уровень - по графике, по физике - по всем статьям! Многое вам прощали, списывали на WIP, но сейчас настал момент истины и... где все это?

[@Stef3m]

And look the dropping bobs, feels real! Its simulated or is an animation? the music of the video is part of a kind of soundtrack in the sim? Astonishing work from you and your team Oleg, Thanks

[@TUCKIE10]

Very nice preview, Tinus! We wait for more until release and after!

[@trumps1973]

this is looking really fantastic, and well worth the wait. thanks to you and your team for the effort you have put in to it. i can't wait to jump in the 109 and just spend an hour practicing touch and go's, because if the Fm is as good as the visuals i don't want to prang any of your beautiful planes due to me being clumsy at the controls! thanks again!

[@lsx001]

@atnoehusaonetu the gun cam feel at 4:08 from bf-110 and ME109 is my favorite part of this video. The realism is astonishing. I hope they are not "edited" game footage. I mean, I hope the actual game looks as good as in this video. Oleg we are counting on you. I already pre-ordered it. Don't let us down.

[@CAPTAINQUINN]

outstanding. editing to a sound track. 5 stars. i loved the music and your adherence to the pulse. billybru rocks. true story.

[@kllr101]

Holy shit! Good job Oleg! It's looking great. Time well spent making it is all I can say :D

[@FranciscoRoselli]

Oleg, there is a bug on 3:14 Airplane body parts do not have proper collision once ripped against other airplanes. Is it a Known Shippable?

[@towgod7985]

The Gladiators were considerd a match for the Cr 42, but no Glad's were used in combat in the battle of Britain, Other than that, great video!

[@sod16]

OH dear, a lot of complaints about no SLI due to epilepsy filters. More complaints about performance, yet somehow when they run the game it runs perfectly on there systems which are probably no better then what people have now...

[@vonVince]

Fantastic!

[@west_motorsportsmedia2975]

For any aircraft lovers like me the planes in this vid are(not including the italian planes)german:Henikel he111s,doriner do17s,meshishmit bf109s,junkers ju87 stukas,junkers ju 290 and meshishmit me110.british:supermarine spitfires,hawker hurricaines,bristol beufighters,bristol gladiators and boulton paul defiants,pls can some one tell me the names of the italian aircraft,i think one of them is a falco 42?thanks!😃this vid is amazing!#goodjob!

[@west_motorsportsmedia2975]

Opps!i forgot the short sunderlands!

[@johnw4659]

gloster gladiator

[@redocherici7740]

Italian aircraft are: FIAT BR20 (cicogna) FIAT CR 42 (falco) FIAT G 50 (freccia)

[@ktc8308]

Well done, good job, keep going!

[@tigertoneyt]

..... Also I have noticed sometimes the propellers are at the front and below the aircraft instead of where they are supposed to be. I have asked for a refund from my games supplier and sent them details of the bugs in the game. Currently I wouldn't advise anyone that hasn't got an Intel i7 quad core processor and a Geforce 1TB dx11 graphics card to buy it. The demo trailer was obviously made on one of these high end spec machines. I am a fan of IL-2 but this one is just so.... uhhhh

[@brettlloyd4446]

The regia aeronautica was involved in battle of Britain in 1940 with cr 42s, g50s and br 20 bombers, they suffered heavy losses from RAF spitfires and hurricanes

[@SLONMYrus]

Просто спасибо.

[@shurikspb]

У куда делись динамические тени от всего на все? Одно дело геймплейный ролик дяди Васи, снятый с экрана, другое - ролик созданный в студии разарботчика. Ведь это очень сильно бросается в глаза, настолько сильно, что напоминает старый Ил-2 Штурмовик.

[@NightmareGbg]

@schroeder8911 It was involved in operations over England yes.

[@12Patton12]

If you want a arcady flight sim yes for a good full realism you wanna look at the IL2, DCS, or ROF series.

[@sod16]

@OlegMaddox Is there any chance you can make the epilepsy filters optional with a unofficial or official patch/fix? World in conflict had an "option" for it, so i'm sure its not against the rules?

[@CokaRolla]

@kakster22 thats impressive that you have a grandfather that was a stuka pilot, i always thought stukas where the coolest aircraft, I know they had alot of weaknesses but I would of loved to have met your grand father and know his story.

[@snakevenom56]

Glad to see your back, sturmovik!

[@roflcoppterist]

Awesome video - thanks - gotta get this game!

[@CaspCic]

Seems you tend to compare it to IL-2 Sturmovik. 25 planes is a respectable number for a flight sim. In flight sims PC power is not only needed for grafics, its also needed for AI calculation. And grafics are awsome, BTW. It has its flaws, but most issues were solved with the latest patch and development goes on inofficially by mod creators.

[@CaspCic]

No, not if your publisher presses to release that thing before its time.

[@user-nm4gt9zx7k]

@OlegMaddox Я понимаю, что текстура, скажем, 1024x1024 будет лучше смотреться на относительно маленьком самолете, чем на большом бомбардировщике. Но откуда взялся этот принцип уравниловки? Не логичнее ли на маленький самолет вешать, к примеру, 512x512, на большой - 2048x2048? Ну, а если уравнивать всё, то давайте и на землю, и на самолеты, и на какой-нибудь ящик на земле вешать одинаковые по размеру текстуры - ещё "веселее" будет. За то унификация!

[@OlegMaddox]

@Sweler1 А вы и не увидите то, что показано в ролике про домики. Вы же туда приземлятся не будете... вид только сверху в самолете. А для вида сверху - не думаю что будет более фотореалистично где-то еще пока. Да.. и общей картинки без детализации не бывает. А хотите наполнять город жизнью, пустить машинки в нем - вперез за редактор и ставьте-пускайте сколько душе влезет. Только деньги на новый комп накопите тогда.

[@kiliclimber2001]

Magnificent..!!

[@OlegMaddox]

@sod16 Yes, but developers can't go against publisher order to implement it. As for perfomance... In original Il-2 there was no one mission over Berlin. Because ih this case was even smaller range of FPS as it is now in CoD over London.With Il-2 original in 2001 were many complains but then all were buying corresponding systems in time.

[@Stef3m]

Astounding Oleg! Well done. Its OGL like your past sims? there's a first person view of the pilot ejection sequence?

[@OlegMaddox]

@JavelinATR Спасибо. К сожалению мои ожидания он оправдает только частично. Только мне одному известно каким я все хотел увидеть. Но к сожалению не все идеи и задумки вообще возможно сделать. А многие задуманные вещи пришлось оставить до лучших времен. Но главное в симуляторе самолетов - это самолеты и возможность ими управлять, применять оружие и тп. Это все на очень высоком уровне. Уверен что есть баги, которые мы пропустили во время теста, но я надеюсь все будет "вылизано" со временем.

[@MarkHoltze]

OutSTANDING video!

[@WS6Zep89]

Absolutely amazing video, I can't wait till May 24th to come. This is going to be the BF3 of flight sim combat.

[@OlegMaddox]

@watson1985 It is on arcade settings

[@Doukster1]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@toonsis]

This is a demo kids, not the final release

[@vaksengutakvalp]

Oleg, was this recorded at maximum settings? Am I seeing tiled water, or is this just a beta thing? Everything else looks absolutely amazing!! Can't wait to buy this when it comes out.

[@Jawzzy]

That was bloody gorgeous!!

[@royraiden]

I love you Oleg!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@warmonger735]

@peace36660 point taken,besiides i've upgraded myself to an I7/GTX 480 gaming rig so i will be able to indulge in my passion for wwII aviation. btw is this game still so laggy/buggy or is all that patched up now?

[@MarkHoltze]

@Baum1986 The bomb drop blew me away, I thought for a second I was watching an animatic and not gameplay. Never seen bombs drop like that before in a sim.

[@neojso]

These planes are so beautiful and detailed, you can even see the gunner lying in the front of the german bomber at 1:17 (WTF, I wouldn't do that)

[@neojso]

For record purpose, youtube recommended me the same video a decade later 😀bravo!

[@gazza2933]

No Beaufighters during the Battle of Britain. If there had been,the British would have had a very effective Night Fighter as well as an Anti Shipping aircraft.

[@peejay1954]

The title, Cliffs of Dover "IL2 Sturmovik" What has a Russian ground attack aircraft have to do with the Battle of Britain over the English Channel?

[@ChronicUptier]

Il-2 is the name of the series of flight sims that has been the cutting edge in WWII combat flight sims since 2001. The very first release was focused on the Il-2 Sturmovik ground attack plane and over time had more and more planes added to it, culminating in Il-2 1946 with more than 300 flyable aircraft. Cliffs of Dover was the most recent release in the Il-2 series, and focused on the Battle of Britain. Previous releases have covered every theater of air war during WWII from the Eastern Front and the Pacific to North Africa and the Mediterranean. The next release returns to the Eastern Front in 1942.

[@sajansingh9854]

CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHO SAID THIS SPEECH I GOTTA KNOW PLZZZZZ???

[@peejay1954]

So it's a combat sim and I get there is artistic license, but I doubt any Russian warplanes involved with the Battle of Britain. Also remember the Sturmovik is a ground attack plane, The BoB was a fighter vs fighter and bomber war. NO ground attack aircraft were used

[@sajansingh9854]

peejay1954 I know just for the trailer the game is pretty historically accurate though

[@Robin____]

Sajan Singh It sounds like Churchill.

[@Scorpac]

A question Oleg, in this video you can see a wing ripping off the Spitfire, is it possible that the broken off parts of aircraft can hit your own plane and damage it?

[@0Turbox]

@OlegMaddox Hi, is it ever planned to make an MMO out of this engine with Air, Ground and Sea fighting? Thx in advance

[@GlassVodka]

Если проект будет успешным, то думаю они обязательно сделают наши родные просторы :)

[@oleg08121986]

Олег, спасибо вам за ваш труд! Вам желаю не реагировать на желчных людей (Ведь когда на нас лает собака мы не встаем на четвереньки чтобы полаять в ответ). Вы много сделали. И даже если не все получилось и не все успели, ведь издатели всегда давят сроками, все благодарны вам за вашу работу. А недостатки я уверен будут исправлены, это вопрос времени. Терпения вам и энтузиазма как и раньше. Игра мной уже заказана с нетерпением жду релиза...

[@launchsa]

@maddox1960 I look forward to quad core CPU support and being able to chose a joystick type or having the game automatically recognise your type of joystick or controller and use the correct profile. All modern games automatically recognise your joystick or controller why is Cliff of Dover different? Simple programming bug or just laziness?

[@DardoUltimate]

The only thing i didn't really like, and i really mean the only thing, was the way how that aircraft at 3:13 breaks apart. Maybe a small inner explosion would really add up for the "awesome" affect.

[@camdez99]

Awesome graphics
