Gear drop.

[Motherbrain]

Hello. I have been playing Rise of Flight for a long time and when I heard 777 was helping 1C make the new Battle of Stalingrad I could barely control myself! 

Anyway I want to ask you a question and make a suggestion. If you watch old gun camera footage of German fighters being shot down you will notice that sometimes

their landing gear will drop prematurely. The Me-109 and most other German planes used hydraulics to manipulate the flaps and landing gear of their early war aircraft.

will this be simulated or shown in Battle of Stalingrad?

 

Thank you.

That would be nice

I noticed in il21946 with this 4.12 patch this happening to LaGG-3, week a go i hit one LaGG in right wing and only hes right landing gear drop down and stuck like that untill i cut him few min later.

I was suprised to see this being done in old IL2

Kind of along the same lines, I read that the JU 87 D was able to "blast off" its landing gear in case of emergency landings in marshy/deep snow areas to reduce the chances of toppling over. As well as many of the pilots removing the wheel shrouds to make takeoff easier in the snow.

This would be cool.  After flying ROF primarily for so long I am excited to see the damage model with all the "new" automated features like the flaps and landing gears the WWII planes had.

Yes it was officially added with 4.12. Of course the landing gear damage mod existed before, but i think DT always does things better.

Great clips Holygrail. I would like to ask another question if I may.

One of the wonderful things about Rise of Flight is the ongoing development of its list of aircraft. 

Are the aircraft on the games release the only aircraft to be developed or will they add new aircraft later?

Thank you Motherbrain ,

when it comes to IL-2 1946 , gear damage drop effect was added to the vast majority of planes at least back then .

A lot of new planes were added in the past and still being continuously added in to IL-2 1946 up to this very day and beyond .

I am sure BoS will continue producing new planes as well like there is no tomorrow !
