Motherbrain Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Probably nothing this week I'd imagine. All thats left is the Me410 and the map and campaign I think.

Either that or all of our forum brethren have run out of wishes, witticisms and wonders of what comes next. 2
Jade_Monkey Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Maybe reveal the final borders of the map? Unless there was no change from the proposed map. I'd love to see more screenshots, can't get enough from the new map. 1 3

Well we have two tanks, two WWI aircraft, a WWI map, the IAR-81, the C-47, and the bubble canopy Spit XIV all announced... so plenty of possibilities.
Jason_Williams Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Guys, Sorry, but no DD today. Focused on the Beta and working out bugs in the 410 and custom input profiles. Everything else is WIP as per the plan. FC2 map, C-47, Snipe, Siemens, IAR, Churchill and Stug are all being worked on, I just have no new images or info to share today. Jason 9 26 2

This in itself is all the info I want to hear from the devteam. Thanks Jason, love you guys!! 1
Avimimus Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 This is good news - it means the patch is likely in "two weeks". ? But getting closer. It is often exciting when dev diaries get skipped! That said, I actually wish that we didn't get a DD more often because they were on vacation rather than too busy working! The quality of the work, and apparent love for the subject, is such that I have confidence at this point that whatever results will be worth it.

When it does come, it will be slathered and drooled over for a short period and then it will slowly disappear into the outer realms of the IL2GB ether... just like real life. ''From mid-1944, despite being Hitler's favourite bomber destroyer, the Me 410 units were taken from Defence of the Reich duties and production was phased out in favour of heavily armed single-engine fighters as dedicated bomber destroyers, with the Me 410's remaining in service flying on reconnaissance duties only.'' 1

So 109s 7, flak 29, IAR 80s nil, so the bucket of bolts didn't shoot down a P38 after all ? In fairness it seems they did shoot down 23 on another day. Seriously though, I've got it on pre-order and looking forward to it but might be a wait while they wait for photos on the sight. Edited July 14, 2022 by Monksilver

Absolutely 100% confirmed or claimed? If the former that is a success rate that would make units like JG26 very jealous. 60 victories by multiple large fighter formations and flak from the Channel coast to a German target and back again was seen as a good effort. Transpires that the Luftwaffe should have stood down and simply hired the Romanian air force. 1

That paragraph is about the "Tidal Wave" mission, against Ploiesti oil refineries, back in August first 1943. That was the largest bombing ride of the USAAF up to that point in the war, and it remains the mission with the highest numbers of Medal of Honor in history. Out of 177 planes that started the mission in Bengazi, Libya only 88 made it back to base. Out of those 55 planes had battle damage and many were scrapped. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Tidal_Wave That ride had no fighter cover and the IAR didn't meet the P-39 until 1944. That artwork is about the clash that happened in June 10th 1944. The Blackest Day: 10 June 1944 https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/7va9f0/til_on_june_10th_1944_romanian_iar80s_and_p38s/ https://jakepetersonphoto.com/tag/p-38-lightning/#:~:text=The P38-Lightning's Blackest day&text=June 10th 1944%2C an attack,71st and 94th fighter squadrons. https://worldwar2.ro/arr/?article=444 The fights over Romania were very costly for USAAF and remained higher than on the western front. Ploiesti was very heavily defended and the distance to target meant that a lot of damaged planes couldn't make it back. Everyone overclaimed during the war and they still do to this day, but the Ploiesti campaign extracted a heavy toll on USAF.

Or at least requested the USAAF send their bombers over at treetop level like they did at Ploesti. I used to have a client that was shot down on the Ploesti raid...the Romanians who found him were like "why in the hell are you bombing us, we got no beef with you" lol.

Sure, those were some of the most dangerous raids undertaken. All I meant was that the claimed losses per units engaged were better than those achieved by veteran Jagd during a long-running fight from France to central Germany and back again. With less capable aircraft to boot. But bomber losses certainly were very high.
