96

 

Hi Everybody!

 

We've started this Friday with an announcement of the very first screenshot contest for Battle of Stalingrad pilots. If you're interested in showing off some impressive screenies and winning up to $200 in each category visit this topic.

The main news of this week of development is version 1.011, of course. We hope that all those updates, the new transport plane and a huge map are bringing you some fun.

Along with improving BOS, the team is busy creating the series' continuation and its harbinger - summer and fall operations of the Battle of Stalingrad.

We haven't found any new planes for you this time, but there are two gunboats instead! When you meet them above Volga you better watch out, they are surprisingly well-armed.

Woohoo!!!! Anti-shipping missions on the Volga!!! :yahoo:  :yahoo:  :yahoo:

 

I loooooveeee the armoured paddle steamer. Those models are detailed enough to fit right into a marine sim. Impressive :good:

Great stuff, thank you!

 

Man I love russian engineering, just put T-34 turret and Katjusha rocketlauncher on boat and you will have effective gunboat!

 

I don't recognize the middle turret, does anybody know where they took this one off? T-26 version maybe?

They are some buff models, I'm loving them!!! Any plans for troop transports!?

Posted

Great news! Tough looking little ships, cant wait to bomb them with my Stuka :)

Posted

I can't wait to see, what their damage model will be like. I hope it will be posible to make it more detailed than the smaller ground targets and model several different ways of going down, being blown up or maybe just be disabled and burn out without sinking?

 

Maybe it would even be posible to knock out specific parts of the boat, so that a destroyed bridge means it'd simply be left to drift with the engine still running, destroyed AA guns would leave it defenseless and a destroyed engine leave it without propulsion.

So nice. This adds more mission options as well as more ambience to the game.

Those ships look so beautiful it's almost a shame to skin them. Nice work.

Nice! I think that turret in the middle (on the Project 1124 boat) houses 2 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

I wonder how well armoured those gunboats are ?

Is for example 20mm cannon AP round able to penetrate?

Or are their hulls even armoured?

Gorgeous models! Like Finkeren mentioned, I sure hope they have some complexity to the damage model. Damn they look good.

 2) Yes but you wouldnt use standard AP ammo for them.

 

here is the ammo against ships:

Wow I didn't even see this, since we got the patch this week I wasn't expecting an update.

 

Nice!

They look great, and as someone mentioned above, attacking ships was always fun in IL2. Info on the DM detail would be great to know.

Posted

So how much do I have to pay so that I can pilot one of those?? :D :D

Ships? Why not, looks good  :)

Wahoooo, ah just loves attacking ships. Really looking forward to this addition.

Nice! I think that turret in the middle (on the Project 1124 boat) houses 2 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

It looks like modified T-35 turret (for 45mm gun) on top of the "'captains bridge''.
