The fine folks at Wayward Design have sent us some updated screen shots from the latest build of B-17 II. These shots are focused primarily on the damage modeling. These shots showcase the new fighter explosion graphics, fragmentation of airframes (for the first time ever!), oil staining the exterior of a P-51, and some interior shots of the P-51 bubble canopy showing leaked oil staining and bullet holes. The first four of these shots are exclusive to COMBATSIM.COM. We'll have an updated preview/interview of B-17 II shortly, but until then we offer you nine new screen shots for your viewing pleasure.
