Zak Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 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. Full news You're very welcome to subscribe for new videos here You can ask new questions in this thread 19
Finkeren Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Woohoo!!!! Anti-shipping missions on the Volga!!! I loooooveeee the armoured paddle steamer. Those models are detailed enough to fit right into a marine sim. Impressive Edited April 24, 2015 by Finkeren
NachtJaeger110 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 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?
-TBC-AeroAce Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 They are some buff models, I'm loving them!!! Any plans for troop transports!?
LLv24_Zami Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Great news! Tough looking little ships, cant wait to bomb them with my Stuka
Finkeren Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 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. 1
Jade_Monkey Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 So nice. This adds more mission options as well as more ambience to the game.
Trident_109 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Those ships look so beautiful it's almost a shame to skin them. Nice work.
1CGS LukeFF Posted April 24, 2015 1CGS Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Nice! I think that turret in the middle (on the Project 1124 boat) houses 2 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns. Edited April 24, 2015 by LukeFF
Jason_Williams Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Gunboats are going to be a fun addition! Jason 3
Original_Uwe Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 ehh yea this game need this shi..... O really don't take your point but I ashe that the more content the better
Roo5ter Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 If Stuka can sink battleship.... Stuka can sink GUNBOAT!
361fundahl Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Thank you!!!!! I loved attacking ships in IL2 1946.... Tracers and flack galore!
LLv24_Zami Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) I wonder how well armoured those gunboats are ? Is for example 20mm cannon AP round able to penetrate? Or are their hulls even armoured? Edited April 24, 2015 by Zami
LAL_Luny Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I loved sinking boats with torpedoes in PF, thats gonna be fun
Bussard_x Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Nice boats. These boats have some serious guns.
PA-Sniv Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 A small update that unveils a new dimension of Battle of Stalingrad! I like that! Cheers,
FlyingNutcase Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Gorgeous models! Like Finkeren mentioned, I sure hope they have some complexity to the damage model. Damn they look good.
Gunsmith86 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 1) I wonder how well armoured those gunboats are ? 2) Is for example 20mm cannon AP round able to penetrate? Or are their hulls even armoured? 1) http://www.wio.ru/fleet/ww2armorb.htm 2) Yes but you wouldnt use standard AP ammo for them. here is the ammo against ships:
6./ZG26_Emil Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Wow I didn't even see this, since we got the patch this week I wasn't expecting an update. Nice!
FlatSpinMan Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 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.
Avimimus Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 So how much do I have to pay so that I can pilot one of those?? :D :D
pilotpierre Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Wahoooo, ah just loves attacking ships. Really looking forward to this addition.
Brano Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) 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''. Edited April 25, 2015 by Brano
