Dynamic lighting? Blinding light?

ToW looks great guys! I havent been this excited about a wargame since CMBO.

The pics are beautiful. It looks like there will be dynamic lighting. If this is so, will the sun have a blinding effect on the in game units?

I see no evidence of dynamic lighting.

Maybe I am using the wrong term.

In the pic below if you look at the shadow you can see the barrel's shadow as well.

In this pic if you look at the right fender, you can see the shadow fall on it. Where as the rest of the tank is still in the sun.

In this pic below, if you will notice, not all of the trees shadows are generic. They seem to fit the trees individual 'profile' (for lack of a better term).

In the pic below, the Renault appears to light up from the shell impact.

Im short on time, but there is a nice winter shot taken with snow on the ground and the sun is low in the sky. The trees shadows are long and clearly are as a result of the sun.

Are these not some form of dynamic lighting?

There are fair dynamic shadows, is selfshadows. Fair to dynamic lighting is not presentг in Il2-engine. The effect of the blinding sun is in game
