Yeah, Clod had Me109E1-7, F4-7, both regular and tropical versions of some of the E and F models. The Hurricane has like 19 variations from Mk1-4 with some tropical and some not, as well as different propeller types, and some with automated RPM etc.
The Spit has Mk1,2 and 5, with tropical and none tropical and some propeller variations. both the Hurrican and Spit come with different wing variations, all guns, all cannon or a mix.
You also got like 5 variations of the Beaufighter, 4 of the Ju88, 2 or 3 of the Ju87, the Wellington has a special torpedo version too.
You can’t really go past mid 42 so far as the planes are missing, however after this big visual and gameplay update comes out, there will be a new big expansion. Exactly what it will cover is unknown, but most are guessing more western Europe finishing 42, maybe going into 43.
They have guaranteed the Fw190, which will be a true butcher bird, if the game stops at 42, as the IX and P47 will be missing, and so the allies will have no effective counter unless we get the Typhoon, which worked as a short-range low altitude interceptor against the Fw190, basically just protecting the home islands from Fw190 incursions. Which is what the plane did the first 6 months or so after it became operational, while they were working out some bugs.They have also said they want to do the Mustang Mk 1. But we don’t know.
Personally, I hope they expand the map into the low countries and parts of Germany and give us some P47s to do bomber escort missions. As well as let us cover those circus and ramrod missions to the low countries(where they meet the Fw190 for the first time)I’d love for them to do a Norway map, both for the 1940 campaign (they have all the planes) but also later mission against shipping. But that is too much to hope for, it’s too niche.
Here is a Stuka attack on Tobruk.
I didn’t hit crap, luckily the other stuka pilots and Ju88 pilots were better.
I could only hit the lame ducks when I played IL2 as well
Have you got the realistic ammo loads on, because that mad few seconds of spray and pray would have left you low. Graphics have improved a bit since 2001 though.Yeah, I have it on max realism, so ammo, and engine etc, must be watched.
The german planes got much more stamina then the allied ones when it comes to ammo.
I got about 1800 rounds of 7.92mm with only 2 guns, so 900 rounds per gun with 1200 rounds a minute, so I got like 50 seconds of fire with those. I also got 500 rounds of 20mm. 250 per gun at 700 RPM, so far less seconds of fire with those.While the British with their 8 .303 had 17 seconds of ammo. I rarely get more than 1 kill with the spitfire or hurricane in their pure .303 configuration.
When you get the 20mm in the later spitfires, you have about 5 seconds of 20mm ammo…
In the P51 you have about 30 seconds or something of .50 cals.Thank goodness for brakes. And I’m pretty sure planes aren’t supposed to go backwards, VTOL or not!
I’m not going backwards, but the ship is going 15knots, Which isn’t a lot, but when your plane is only going 8-10 knots, the ship with run away from you.
