Brano Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I16 and Chaika were plenty during Stalingrad, and the Pf Yak never made it to the front in summer M105PF engine was in production since 1st May 1942.All Yak-1 were produced with PF engine since 4th June 1942.Yak-7b were around Stalingrad from august 42.I stil consider august as summer month I16 and I153 were not in such plenty in the very same time.Most of those which survived 1941 ,were flying for Batic and Black Sea Fleets,over Karelia and Caucasus.At the end of 1941 there were 240 ishaks left operational within VVS.With no serial production in 1942 (only small batch of UTI trainers built) the combat losses could not be replaced.
silent_one Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Reasoning like that and they might just as well have thrown together a generic map with the most popular match ups of Eastern front aircrafts and called it something like: "IL-2: Dogfight over the Steppes".... One of my points is that unless your flying over the city itself you could literally be anywhere. Snow , trees, anywhere. So why not somewhere with Macchi's flying. Having tight control of the date is important so we dont have LA7's turning up. But like in original IL2 using some russian water map as an alternative channel map. Sometimes you need to let yourself have a bit of flexibility. Since this is a game and its for entertainment. It could be more things to more people. Not just one thing to a bunch of rivet counters. Im enjoying the game but I am tired of the snow. Original Il2 didn't limit itself to one specific place or time. The anti Macchi squad are more concerned with rivet counting than the potential fun. I want a IAR too. Were getting a Macchi so suck it up. As for "Dogfight over the steppes" Whats wrong with that;. I dont look at the ground when Im shooting down planes. When Im playing ROF I dont look down and think " what part of France is that , This maps totally inaccurate for Passiondale. I cant play this crap" Use your imagination, you are somewhere . You can call it whatever you want in your head. It was the day your group flew in together an met the enemy. Fill in the blanks in your head. Do you really need everything written down for you . Might be nice but you dont need it to have fun and be immersed. If you have an imagination. But I guess not everyone does. Fly it your way , be open to others fling theirs .
ShamrockOneFive Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Still looking forward to hearing what other types are coming. I'm going to assume that the MC.202 is not the only addition to the lineup.
pencon Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I wish they did the MC 200 first then the 202 . Or both would be good
Solmyr Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I just hope to see the IAR one day, as she was my personal choice... + 1 1
