A_radek Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) The I-153 is definetly no Beginner's Plane. I imagine it as somewhere between the old Fw190 Model with it's end over end Tumble, the I-16s Stall and the P-40s Adverse Yaw. That Short Fuselage, Long Wings and 4 Ailerons are a recipe for Spins. Agreed. Especially that short tail moment cought my attention. Like a go-cart with a v8 strapped on. Edited March 24, 2017 by a_radek

Scojo Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 What was the design theory behind the short tails? Or was it just one of those things that slipped through because it worked well enough?
SYN_Mike77 Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 well, actually, the American 37 only has 45g of HE, only a little more than twice as much as a German 20mm (19,5g). but it's a standard HE exploding on impact, while Mineshells used delayed fuzes that usually exploded when the shell was between 1/3 and 2/3s into the target. and when we get some German 30mm (hopefully with a collector G-6 after the Kuban release) we'll get shells with 80g of HE filler Ok, stupid question time. When selecting weapon load out what color bullet corresponds to which type?
[APAF]VR_Spartan85 Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Ok, stupid question time. When selecting weapon load out what color bullet corresponds to which type? Blue is armour piercing and red/orange for explosive... I believe 1
Cpt_Cool Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Blue is armour piercing and red/orange for explosive... I believe correct 1
A_radek Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 What was the design theory behind the short tails? Or was it just one of those things that slipped through because it worked well enough? Good question. I suppose instability was considered to overlap in to agility. But that's only my guess.
6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Still quite a big Tease by 1C Game Studios.
A_radek Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Those videos are amazing. For some reason I had no idea the I-153 was in one of these.! Indeed what a tease.
Feathered_IV Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Still hopeful for the I-153. It was the main reason I bought Forgotten Battles all those years ago, and I must have spent hundreds of hours in it.
Irgendjemand Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Today gotta be the day for VR. Cant wait to do some VR groundpounding with my FW. 1
Lusekofte Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Still hopeful for the I-153. It was the main reason I bought Forgotten Battles all those years ago, and I must have spent hundreds of hours in it. Was there not a map about Odessa and the Ural? Would be nice with I - 153 there
Dutchvdm Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Was there not a map about Odessa and the Ural? Would be nice with I - 153 there Odessa yes. Ural?? Isn't that a region in the middle off Russia?.. Grt M
dburne Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Today gotta be the day for VR. Cant wait to do some VR groundpounding with my FW. Well it is the end of March, so I am keeping fingers crossed... would certainly be nice! More importantly though however long it takes to get it ready for public release I am fine with as well. I am really looking forward to getting back into this sim in VR.
ShamrockOneFive Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I'm hoping to see a little more about the IL-2 Model 1943s cockpit seeing as they wrote that update about how they had to try and recreate some elements of the cockpit without solid photos of it. Sounds interesting. I'd like to see what they have done.
Danziger Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Probably tomorrow. They don't really do Thursday DDs anymore.
Solmyr Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Those videos are amazing. For some reason I had no idea the I-153 was in one of these.! Indeed what a tease. Same here. Still looks promising, did the devs communicate on her development recently ? By the way, I'd really be thankful to anyone russian-speaking if could bring an english traduction, because I'd love to understand what this man is saying.....

Lusekofte Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Odessa yes. Ural?? Isn't that a region in the middle off Russia?.. Grt M Yes a terrible memory loss and intellectiual wall must have hit me when I wrote that
6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Was hoping to come home to an Announcement of Server being down for Maintenance and a Game Update Log shortly afterwards. I want me my Il-2 1943.
Finkeren Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 It was only Thursday they said, that they were about done putting the release candidate together for beta testing. Today seems a bit early for an update. End of the week or early next week seems more likely, given that we're dealing with something as complex as VR implementation.
Trooper117 Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 No update today. I can guarantee it will be in about... two weeks.
Lusekofte Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 The new IL 2 looks a little bit better with a turret , but that is all, I can really live with what we have in this case. My blood will not speed up until we get the A 20 and HS 129, and maybe the P 39

My blood will not speed up until we get the A 20 and HS 129, and maybe the P 39 We'll get the Kuban map before that. I imagine a lot of us have a raging boner for that. 3
Trooper117 Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 I'm more interested in that map than the aircraft to be honest... 2
Asgar Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 now that we've seen the Spitfire, the IL-2 and the untextured model of the A-20, is anyone else hoping we see some pictures of the Hs-129 soon-ish?
Dutchvdm Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 now that we've seen the Spitfire, the IL-2 and the untextured model of the A-20, is anyone else hoping we see some pictures of the Hs-129 soon-ish? Yes please!! Grt M
Finkeren Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Video of some flying over the Kuban mountain ranges! 1
Feathered_IV Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Video of some flying over the Kuban mountain ranges! That's what I was thinking, with a bit of wonder-woman view through the valleys.
Finkeren Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 b..but...Henschel Fine... the Hs 129 flying over the Kuban mountain ranges then. 3
Feathered_IV Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 I'd completely forgot about this week's update with the recent patch still having me mesmerised.
Jade_Monkey Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 I'd be surprised if we had one this week, but it wouldn't be the first time they do update + DD
Finkeren Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 We'll it's Easter. I wouldn't fault them for taking a bit of time off.
6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 The Russians are a bit weird with their Calendar though. Don't even know if their Easter is like ours.
Finkeren Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 I'm pretty sure Lent and Easter are the same in the Orthodox Church as in Catholicism/Protestantism.
