Finkeren Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Not outside the realm of possibility. Jason The MiG-3 is litterally THE most wanted plane for me. Please sir, make it happen and I shall personally buy ten copies to gift away to other people (that's a promise) 3

Freycinet Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Well, since this early Development Update from the team I've always taken it for granted that we'll see the MiG-3 in the sim at some point... (And there were similaf updates about the I-16 and I-153 as well...)
BlitzPig_EL Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Not outside the realm of possibility. Jason I hope so. In spite of it's weak areas, the Mig 3 is one of my favorite WW2 aircraft.
Feathered_IV Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Mig-3 would be nice. Still kind of grieving that I'll probably never get to fly an I-153 in an up to date sim ever again.

Please sir, make it happen and I shall personally buy ten copies to gift away to other people (that's a promise) I'd like to totally endorse Finkeren's statement both in parts of the plane and gifts!

Please sir, make it happen and I shall personally buy ten copies to gift away to other people (that's a promise) indeed so, for me as well Mig-3 would be nice. Still kind of grieving that I'll probably never get to fly an I-153 in an up to date sim ever again. As much as I agree with Finkeren, I grieve with you... I flew almost exclusively the Chaika my first year with '46, Then we made the J8A, and we got a new contender Edited February 11, 2015 by SvAF/F19_Klunk 1
Feathered_IV Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I know what you mean. The Chaika was my first introduction to the Il-2 series and I stayed with it for years. There was a Finland mission that shipped with the original game. Must have flown it a hundred times. Love that little bus.
312_Cherry Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'm willing to immediately pay for this plane
Trooper117 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Mig 3, waste of time... Designed for high altitude combat, but was mostly pressed into service at lower levels where it was totally unsuited. Suck on that you Mig 3 lovers ... hehehehe!
Finkeren Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Mig 3, waste of time... Designed for high altitude combat, but was mostly pressed into service at lower levels where it was totally unsuited. Suck on that you Mig 3 lovers ... hehehehe! Doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be a great fighter to be in BoS, the popularity of the LaGG-3 attests to that. The MiG is awesome in so many other ways, that it almost doesn't matter if it's not an effective weapon. Besides, if you fly a MiG-3 you're a winner by default.
Trooper117 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 If you are going to have a plane that is outmatched and outdated by the opposition, it just has to be one of the Polikarpovs, the I-16, I-15 or I-153. All truly iconic and underdog aircraft
312_Ofce Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Mig-3 would be really nice choice for those who want to fight Germans in MP.
Trooper117 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 lol... who else would you fight in multi player?
Finkeren Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 You don't get it Trooper. We don't need it because it's good or bad, but because it's the friggin' MiG-3. The MiG is the Catherine Zeta Jones of combat aircraft. She's really not that great an actress and hardly ever stars in really good movies, but she's the very concept of 'sex' made flesh. It's the same with the MiG-3, except it's an aircraft. 4
Feathered_IV Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I agree. Both on the CZJ aspect and the fact that just because it isn't a kill 'em all magic bullet, doesn't mean the MiG-3 shouldn't get a look in. If an assured win in multiplayer is the only criteria for aircraft now, we might as well throw the entire BoS in the trash and go for F-15 vs F-15.
unreasonable Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Right, except that the MiG-3 is obviously male, even my blurry eyes can see that huge...thing. 2
Trooper117 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 No guys, you don't get it... The polikarpov's are my Catherine Zeta Jones... (well, her ugly sisters anyway)
Finkeren Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Nah. The I-16 is Sigourney Weaver. Not a Classic beauty (though I must admit that I had a boy-crush on her, when I first saw Alien and Aliens at ten years old) but she's tough, cool and was a badass female character before it was cool.
keeno Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hey all, I totally agree and see where you are coming from, for me it's the P40, not that great, out classed, out dated but hey, it's a P40! I don't care if I get blown out of the sky 99% of the time in it, just for that chance to sneak up unseen and fry fritz, just once in a hundred is worth it. I'd buy any plane that comes along, why not? oh yea.
voncrapenhauser Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Photoshop? LOL I think so oh you tease! That will get the rumour mill going good. I hope so. In spite of it's weak areas, the Mig 3 is one of my favorite WW2 aircraft. Its a looker for me too, I always thought it looked like a racing plane. I-16 is Wee Jimmy Krankie... AYE! LOL
Mags Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I love that MiG-3. It would be nice to have her in BOS. Thanks for teasing us, Jason! :-)
Brano Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Mig 3, waste of time... Designed for high altitude combat, but was mostly pressed into service at lower levels where it was totally unsuited. Suck on that you Mig 3 lovers ... hehehehe! Did you even watched that video and listened to what Vladimir Barsuk says?
Trooper117 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I can only go on what history tells us. The aircraft was already out of date when it came into service. It's only speed advantage was at very high altitude but it was misused in it's intended role and suffered accordingly. The VVS were quick to get shot of them, and over the winter of 1941- into early 1942, not a single Mig 3 were on it's books. Regardless, it is still a good looking aeroplane.
Trooper117 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 And we will be able to fly the Mig and the I-16 this year!
Finkeren Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Litterally the best choice for the next installment IMHO. It's big, it's ambitious, it's early war, it's Eastern Front, it's got a friggin' MiG-3!!! And best of all: There's gonna be a lot more snow just to spite the nay-sayers
Trooper117 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 lol... well if it's just more snowy terrain I will probably pass then
Nil Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 lol... well if it's just more snowy terrain I will probably pass then "It took place between October 1941 and January 1942" so there might be a green dot on it in the start I mainly hope they learned their lesson about unlocks by now.. and that there can me some fun had with the new plane-set on non snowy landscapes
Finkeren Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 They basically confirmed in the DD thread, that all maps from now on will be available in all 3 season versions. Oh man, I' so happy about this! I was expecting an announcement of some small additions and a few new planes, and a small part of me feared, that they would announce that they'd be closing down development after that. I see a bright, bright future for the IL-2 series. Yes, there are still a lot of issues to solve and a few bad decisions to reconsider, but now we know for sure, that the team is in for the long haul, which means that there's time to make all kinds of changes happen.
Nil Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Best now it that the TEAM knows they are in for a long haul too!
