These guys had balls man. Huge balls, that no icy flying conditions could diminish.

 

Agreed... but this week is not pusher week.

For THAT plane me and my VR Google’s waiting impatient.

But that plane is a topic next update after next update

 

People will  soon get fed up flying it anyway... it will just get shot out of the sky as easy as the RoF one.

Yeah I know. But I love my pushers BIGLY. Even longer to wait for the DH2. SAD!

I can’t wait burn in a beautiful coffin like that. But with a good fighter cover I think I also can bomb something even with that plane… and if not I die happy ?

Now you're talkin'. I'll be your gunner and we can both die happy. We really need a Be2c to die in as well, and maybe a Gunbus or a Parasol. ?

The best things about wwi pushers is that they give a unobstructed view of the crashsite immediately before the engine detaches and crushes the crew.

This! Yes I always fancied having a complete engine up my backside at the instant of my death. Not sure why, but it always seemed a rather thrilling way to go.?

What do you think the last thing was going through his mind during the crash?

 

The sparkplugs

[Trooper117]

If you were up front it would be the pilots teeth!

[MAJ_stug41]

Now im imagining a pilot fattening up his gunner so the pilot has something soft to land on during a crash

[JG4_Moltke1871]

 

I really like the Hanriot, fast little beauty and amazing 3D model, well done Il2/Ugra team??

But now I see the really interesting planes for my two seater fetish on the horizon ?

And the servers really need some weaker Entente two seaters instead of the current powerhorses with their late engines ?

However, can’t wait the first images of the FE2B and the RE8 ?

..and by the way… I remember something about a glider or am I wrong?

?

[Trooper117]

Is this glider supposed to be AI only, to be towed by the C-47, and released over an LZ... or are they making a playable piloted glider... which of course means we would all be queuing up to be towed to the LZ and then land it after a very brief gliding session. I bet thousands of new players would turn up for that.

[Lusekofte]

The glider is in my opinion presented as a flyable module. I can’t read it in other ways.

Which to me sounds ridiculous... so, 15-20 mins maybe, being towed... seconds few to get the thing safely on the ground (remember, they need to get down fast as they are a defenceless target the longer they are in the air) ... then what? you can't then become part of the ground operation as a FPS player.

As AI, I can see it's application is worthy as part of the C-47 campaign... if it's playable it's just a waste of time and effort.

I say give it a chance! We will see it will have a take off and a flight over the channel on d-day or have some landing’s on market garden. I also can imagine implement it on online servers for supply missions, TAW offers already more than one supply options plus para drops, I really enjoy that! I only see the gap in that case need also a German glider like Gotha or DFS. Anyways, just think about have a glider sortie online with my squad mates from takeoff to landing with fighter cover brings already a smile on my face ? We will see the developers will use that potential, I am not so pessimistic about that. But like I said, in that case also need a German one… maybe the chance fly a Gotha not only in World War 1 ?

then what

They had a way to retriever it by installing a hook on the belly of c 47  and towing line on a pole. 

I would say that is pretty cool

Yes, the Waco glider. It will probably come in the next update, along with the final two planes for FC Volume 3, the FE2b and RE8.

 

And yes, the glider will be flyable:

 

[Ala13_UnopaUno_VR]

PAYMENT GLIDE PLANE???

[kestrel79]

That glider will be interesting. I applaud the team for trying something new that hasn't been done in a flight sim and creating some new gameplay elements.

 

How cool would it be to do a D-Day coop mission with human controlled C-47s towing human controlled gliders? Sign me up!

You will find five glider pilots waiting for their c47 to spawn 

[tattywelshie]

Yeah I’ll never fly a glider, but like has been said, I can’t think of a glider ever being part of a combat flight sim, gonna be so interesting how it’s integrated into the career mode ?

Agreed. Never saw the point of the Waco being flyable, much less as a collector plane to buy separately. Maybe justifyable if it was a free addon to the C-47... but even then. 

[LukeFF]

I hear it's going to have 150-grade fuel. ?

[Jaws2002]

Hey Luke, pull their leg a bit to give us some IAR goodies. ..

 

It's been a while.?

 

 

Winter is coming and I need a reason to take my controllers out of the closet and reconnect them. 

 

EDIT:

 

 WOW looks like they are working on the FM at the moment and the IAR is on schedule for end of 2023v release. ?

I can't wait until it arrives and you can regale us with the fantastic missions you are having with it...

Won’t be like that. I fly nothing now. And short aqmb and qmb missions will be my forte. I guess 1/2 hour a week. 
what you guys do not realise is the fantastic attitude the producer got and always had. 
Making modules like this. 
PO 2

JU 52

C 47

LI 2

HS 129

and now the Waco

It is remarkable. 
But I personally feel I flown my bit in this and hope for a new beginning with the new thing they are making. 
I simply can’t see why people mocking this. It is so easy choosing not to fly it

Yes it's remarkable they put out the more obscure small handful of worthy aircraft... what would have been more remarkable would have been a Fw-189 or the Fi-156, two aircraft that played remarkable roles during the war and could have had really good careers... they have been asked for many times, and I can remember Han saying he would love to do one for the game, but no, a glider with a very limited life span in the game.

You are right of course about choosing not to fly it... or even waste money buying the thing.

The Fw-189 could be used throughout the war, with the majority of ops on the Eastern Front.

The Fi-156, the Storch, could be used on all theatres during WWII... just think, the play ability of these two aircraft alone could make for some really interesting game play.

I do not disagree with you there. But you been here just as long as me. 
You and me has no saying in what they gonna make. 
I choose the FW 189 any day of the week. 
But we get the Waco and I gonna fly it

[JG4_Moltke1871]

Who gets everything they want?
I also like to have the Ju188 or AEG G.IV.

 I also would buy the Fieseler Storch or FW189 ?

But the Waco glider is also a nice surprise and I am curious how it works and how to fly and how to interact with mates who fly the plane that has to tow me.

Buy it or not, I will do! (and hope for a German counterpart later ?)

[BlitzPig_EL]

Yeah, I want a Curtiss Hawk 81.  Never going to happen.
