Macchi 202?205?

[FlatSpinMan]

That's an interesting and highly encouraging shot Loft posted. Ideal for early Stalingrad if it's a 202, and more importantly 100% GUARANTEED PROOF that we're Mediterranean-bound!

 

Or not.

Either way, while there's dev 3d shots, there's hope.

I'm in. Where do I sign?

[Lusekofte]

Shut up and take my money , that came from nowhere I thought first it was a MIG 3 

[Mags]

I think it is a Macchi C 205 Veltro...and take my money, please!

 

With a closer look...I think it is a 202 now!

FANTASTICO

 

It's a Macchi 202 "Folgore" (Lighting)

[FlatSpinMan]

Hang on! Its not, is it?! I'd better check. Italian planes are not my strong point.

Ah, Veltro is here. I'll just take his word for it.

And what a great word it is " FANTASTICO!!"

[mb339pan]

y more macchi

[LLv24_Zami]

I think it is a Macchi C 205 Veltro...and take my money, please!

 

I think you are right! Quite a surprise

 

Edit: Or not, at a quick glance it could be C 202. Well either way, nice one!

Is it a 202? Whatever...it's lovely!

[150GCT_Veltro]

And yes, MED is coming with the best physic ever seen in a flight sim!

I think you are right! Quite a surprise

 

It's a Macchi 202 guys, 202.

Mc202 flew on eastern front especially over Stalingrad area

[Matt]

Yes, i think 12 of them flew over the eastern front and probably non of those with dust filters.

 

So it looks like they are really heading for a north africa / mediterranean theatre, which would be good and would probably indicate, that BoS has been a success. They could make good use of their water engine there.

[Mags]

Yes, it is a nice surprise!

I saw it was a 202 two minutes later after I posted the first time. You are fast, guys!

 

Thank for posting that picture, Loft! I have a big smile om my face right now.

[Saurer]

Thats awsome!!

[Lusekofte]

 

This is a 295 C Veltore , so my guess is a 202, witch suits in a historical perspective. Now a Hurricane , JU 88 and a trimotor italian bomber, and you are ready for medertaraniln  theatre

[FlatSpinMan]

Make it so!

 

So say we all!

[PB0_Foxy]

For the dust filter I'm not sure they was removed from eastern front macchi

It is hard to find pictures of those planes on the eastern front so I can't confirm

 

 

M.C. 202AS

Included the addition of dust filters meant for use in North Africa. The lack of detrimental effect meant that all Folgore's soon were AS standard.

M.C. 202CB

Included the (rarely used) addition of underwing hardpoints for small bombs and drop tanks.

 

[Dakpilot]

Macchi 200/202, P-40, P-39 all used in Russian and Med theatre

 

Cheers Dakpilot

Macchi 202 Folgore is one of my fav. planes   

[Finkeren]

Not on my top list of planes to add to BoS, but still I can see the reasoning behind it: Broaden the appeal as much as posible by introducing a whole new air power into the fray.

 

Not to say that I've got anything against it either. Any new addition to BoS is most welcome and I'll be first in line to purchase.

[Zargos]

Any new plane for BOS is very welcome ... even Italian planes which are not my favorites.

I would also suggest a Mig-3 (this one I love !).

Yes, MiG-3 and I-16 on Russian side would be nice.

[150GCT_Veltro]

P-40 guys, we are talking about "the others", not Russians or Germans. However, for me I-16 is almost ready, my two cents.

 

Macchi 202 vs Lagg-3, Yak-1, P-40, Hurricane as it was. With Spitfire Mk.Vc was a nightmare, but still possibile.

 

So...P-40.

[CIA_Yankee_]

Huh, where was this posted anyway? Can we get a link?

 

That said, wooo, that's very good news. It's great to know they're working on additional fighters.

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

Sure it's a Mc 202, it's a direct response to this poll: http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/729-poll-what-non-german-fighter-would-you-see-il-2-bos/

 

Interestingly they've said on russian forums the IAR got the higher score so they had to consider both of them equally. Well I'm happy to see the Mc 202 comign as I preferr it but hopefully we'll also see the IAR 80/81 one day (for the sake of pleasing all it's favourers and of course diversity).

 

P-40 will probably the next, could be a nice christmas present

[A-E-Hartmann]

Really interesting .

[Jaws2002]

Where did you see that?

Jaws - it's from a grab by Loft today. Please see above.

Yes, IAR would be nice too.

And also 'historically correct'.

It can't be a result of that poll. Combined, between Russian and international forums the IAR-80 was always leading.

Even now it's 751 vs 709 votes for the IAR. If they model the Machi, that poll was just pretending to care, just like other official polls posted here.

[senseispcc]

Maybe the La-5F with buble canopy is a nice and not to complex addition before a La-5fn or a German Ju-88a or Fw-189 or the Macchi C200 Saetta 51 of this type did fight in Russia in the 22gruppo until replaced by the 21 gruppo equiped with Macchi C202 Folgore.

[IIN8II]

but my MiG 3 noooooo! lol I like the MC 202, I have read that some pilots thought it was a better fighter than the 109.

That's an interesting and highly encouraging shot Loft posted. Ideal for early Stalingrad if it's a 202, and more importantly 100% GUARANTEED PROOF that we're Mediterranean-bound!

Yeah My money was on Med or North Africa just based on the available skins for German aircraft.

[ShamrockOneFive]

Cool! I'm all for new aircraft and new theatres. I don't think anyone should jump to conclusions about the North Africa or Med campaign at this point - the MC.200 and MC.202 both saw action leading up to and during the Stalingrad battle. It was limited but it's nice to see it as a possibility there. So it's not definitive proof of anything except a new plane being added...which in and of itself is a great thing.

[CIA_Yankee_]

There's so many interesting planes they could be adding, it's great to see there are plans to do so.

 

But, let's get a nice list going. Here's mine (completely incomplete ):

 

Allies:

 

- Airacobra.

- Yak-7 (maybe 9?).

- Mig-3?

 

Axis:

 

- Macchi 202, obviously.

- Ju 88 (!!!)

 

Let's add to the list.

[FlatSpinMan]

Can I just say that I was kidding about the 100% Med thing? I' sure most realised that, but just oin case people didn't, it should be made clear.

1. I have no idea where they intend to base the next installment.

2. They showed the model of an Italian fighter.

 

Just in case I set up false expectations.

 

(Edited the random last point out.)

[150GCT_Veltro]

Sure, more Russians are needed.

 

We can accept to have Bf-110 for German, and at least two new fighters for Russian, P-39, Mig-3 a would say, even if Yak-7 would be great as well.

 

Ju-88 is a must but it requires a lot of work, Bf-110 in needed ASAP.

3. They had a bad time of it in North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East in recent(historyish) has been denied for so long.

This is what we know. 

I should have looked more closely at who posted it But yeah... I'd love a North Africa follow up campaign sometime. Spitfires, Kittyhawks, tank busting Hurricanes up against the usual Luftwaffe complement, Hs129, and some Italian aircraft and I'd love it!

The MiG-3 wasn't really much on the front by Stalingrad but I'd love to see it sometime. That said a Yak-7B would be an ideal candidate as another common fighter found on the Stalingrad front. Both Yak-1B and Yak-9 showed up during the battle as well in small but growing numbers - they may decide to hold those back for a Kuban or Kursk scenario.

 

Agreed on the Ju88 and Bf110!

[Rjel]

By far one of the prettiest fighter planes ever. I'm in.

[Zargos]

Let's add to the list.

 

If you open the list, it will never end.

There are so many planes to enjoy !
