Quality onboard.

 

If it has worked for every other title (including those with native 5.1) it should suffice here too.

i have the same thing onboard audio, and i have little to non issues with sounds, could be driver related also???

Time for some sweet speculation.

 

We already know that the Ju-52 is coming as an AI aircraft, and that the devs are working on a MC202 (presumably flyable). Since these are both Axis aircraft, does this imply that an unrevealed Allied flyable aircraft is also being worked on? :)

good point!

 

It would be weird to see one side growing and the other keeping the 5  initial planes only.

The dev team is collecting data on the MiG-3 and the I-16, as they showed in their videos...

Thanks for this! That had escaped me completely.

TENTE JU!!!!

Please check your PMs. We have moved past that portion of this thread. Please do not reopen it. Thank you for your cooperation.

Tricky. The mig and 202 don't really match for theatres, so I assume the Murmansk and northern theatre is out.

True, but it will be a fun matchup nonetheless  :cool: .

how does the mig compare to the yak1?

 

also, the yak9 is just an improved yak1 right?

Posted

The Yak9 was a development of the Yak7, which was a two seat trainer turned into a heavy fighter. 

 

The Yak3 was a 1944 version of the Yak1.

wikipedia!

Wikipedia does not explain how the mig compares to the yak. No need to be a smartass.

 

I have not flown the previous IL2 series and have no experience with the mig.

From a handling perspective they are at least somewhat similar in turn times and overall handling on the MiG-3ud with the leading edge slats is not bad. The pilot from the video interview that the BoS team put out mentioned that having flown both MiG-3 and I-16 the MiG-3 is actually able to fly to a lower stall speed. So its not too bad in handling. View over the nose is poor and firepower is average (1x12.7mm UB and 2xShKAS - also flown with 12.7mm machine gun pods). In IL-2 1946 it was also very weak and susceptible to damage.

 

The MiG-3 is slower at low altitudes and much faster at higher altitudes with its AM-35 engine. A few MiG-3s were flown with the IL-2s AM-38 (tuned for low altitude) and those MiG-3s are very fast.

 

Historically the MiG-3s were mostly moved from fighter ops to PVO city defense to intercept bombers and recon planes and then ultimately moved off the front lines altogether. The Yaks and Lavochkins were better at lower altitude tactical duty that most VVS squadrons were flying.

 

The Yak-9 is a development of the Yak-7 which is a development of the original Yak prototype. So they all share a common design start but the Yak-7 was originally designed as a dedicated trainer with more robust landing gear and airframe which was then realized as a fighter. The Yak-1B was the ultimate Yak-1 with a cut down fuselage, bubble canopy, and revised armament (1xUB, 1XShVAK).

 

So the Yak-1 series develops in the Yak-3 (reducing weight) and the Yak-7 develops into the Yak-9 series also reducing weight (for some versions) and/or increasing the armament, range, and eventually significantly increasing engine power. So think of the Yak-1/3 as the "light" fighter and the Yak-7/9 as the "heavy" fighter although nothing like what the P-47 or Tempest or some of the other big Allied fighters were.

Thanks a lot!

 

I appreciate it!

AI is very rare in MP, so onliners won't be seeing much of it unless it becomes flyable.  Sorry guys.

 

Really? And do you make missions for MP servers? 

 

Not to worry...

Posted

No, sorry Bandy I don't.  I play them sometimes and read the forums.  At best I've seen maybe four AI online at one time.  They usually seem to be a token effort rather than a convincing force.

first thimg imma gonna do in the FMB is a 50 heinkel raid - see how the software handles that kind of usefull numbers.

Yes, when the ME arrives we can really give the game a stress test to see what can actually be done with it...
