ShamrockOneFive Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 After this week... I could use a juicy DD to get into. Wololololo! 1
BladeMeister Posted September 11, 2020 Posted September 11, 2020 6 hours ago, 40plus said: True if MP is your thing. For many of us SP devotees, spotting rounded out the bottom of the priority list. I can respect that, but being a primarily Sp myself I think spotting improvements(granted they actually improve things from the way they are now) will pave the way for many more SPers to go online. I don't really mind getting my ass handed to me online as I know I am not that great of a fighter pilot anymore, but when I never see them coming or going or they just disappear from in front of me, it sort of pisses me off, and I exit rather quickly with a bad taste in my mouth and no reason to want to go back in MP anytime soon after either. I am hoping this spotting improvement changes this for me because I used to love IL2 online through Hyperlobby back in the day. That reminds me, Jason hasn't mentioned anything about the Hyperlobby-esk in game host that they were supposedly working on??? S!Blade<><

Spotting improvements almost definitely. Not sure about the other two but I think they are pretty late in the release order aren't they? Well... I was thinking about the next big upcoming patch... and based on the current development information I'd guess the next three patches would be: - Spotting and TC improvements (recently announced) - The C-47, we might also get the Spit XIV and the Bf-109G6 (late)... - Hurricane II With some obvious potential for the aircraft to shift which of the patches they end up in... and maybe even another aircraft to develop further than is expected.

Jason now says Hurricane in October in the latest DD thread that new patch (4.501) will drop in a few weeks. Which could push the timeline for that patch into October. So maybe Hurricane could be in the next patch, or it would be in its own little update closer to the end of October. Initially it looked like a patch might drop just next week already, but I think with all the stuff with spotting, g-force, TC improvements they decided to wait a couple more weeks and drop a big patch rather than several small ones. So maybe they have pushed everything back just enough to try and get the Hurricane to release at the same time. With that much extra time to put into the patch we could see more stuff than I originally thought. Regardless I'm interested to see what mission builders will do with the C-47. I would pay for a flyable version I think, as long as there are interesting mission types available for it. The Hurricane - well, its the only collector plane I've ever pre-ordered, I can't wait to see how the team have built it here. I suspect I will not get to fly it much online but I will probably take it whenever it' available, even if I have to fly it against K-4s lol.
Feathered_IV Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 I just realised it will be a year next month since the Hurricane went on preorder. So much has happened since then.

With no reference to support the pacific I would bought BOS BOM BOK BON po2, JU52 , Hurricane and some campaign. With no regrets. The list of regret purchase modules in DCS is far bigger and want list shorter. So all in all GB is doing good Edited September 12, 2020 by 216th_LuseKofte 1

So much has happened since then. Yea, not sure why it is taking so long, but then again the Hurri should have been one of the original collector planes back in the BOS days. I have hounded Jason for years about its' absence and never understood why they neglected to produce it, but now I am quite pleased that 1C are finally ready to include this iconic fighter. Maybe creating the Career entry for the Hurricane is what is taking so long. Never the less, I am thankful it is coming to TGBS and I impatiently/patiently await its' Grand entrance to the skies of the eastern front. S!Blade<><

Wow, I'm surprised. I would have voted for the P-40, too, but just thought I was weird and most would want the Hurricane.

Sorry to say old chap but your numbers are incorrect! It is P40, 559 against 177 votes for the Hurricane! I just cast my vote for the Hurri. It appears to me that some 'Merican' must have hacked the poll and squed the numbers mate. This just can't be right. S!Blade<><

Thad Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Right. Surprisingly, not even any 'quick fixes' presented. (that's a good sign).

Diggun Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 It's Friday and the world hasn't quite ended yet! Reckon the good folks in the dev team will squeeze out a DD this week??
Missionbug Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) I need a Hurricane fix, still waiting patiently, NOT. Not quite the same firing Blitz/Tobruk up, I want the modern rendition, let's see if theses guys at 777 are any good at this aircraft thingy eh. The last images posted were atmospheric shall we say so did not give a clear enough view of the overall shape so it would be nice to have a few normal day skin shots just to see if they nailed the shape. I crave the DD fix when they miss a week or two, busy or not I would always find a few pics to post for the masses. Take care and be safe. Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Blitzen Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Can Murmansk map & campaign be far behind the introduction of the Hurri? With British pilots grossing "What in hell am I doing here?"

BladeMeister Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Now that was the DD I have been waiting for for some while now! Hurri to the top! S!Blade<><
simfan2015 Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Also truly looking forward to the hurricane! Who wouldn't be!? So curious to compare it against the Clod Blitz tobruk versions!
Diggun Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 It's always possible... I wonder about the timing though? Sometimes it's too late. And sometimes it's too early?

It was not the best, the prettiest, the fastest, highest or longest enduing but it got stuck in when it counted during the early years and it hit hard. 2

I remember those polls! So we now have both! The Axis poll saw the M.C.202 chosen over the IAR.80/81 correct? It kindof gives me hope that we might someday see that too. I don't think it is particularly likely - but here is to hope! ?
