DD today?

In Russian Easter, eggs hunt you.

That was in Soviet Russia. Things are different now.

In modern Russia, everyone hides and the forum users hunt you....

 

Unless there's a dev diary

[7.GShAP/Silas]

I'm pretty sure Lent and Easter are the same in the Orthodox Church as in Catholicism/Protestantism.

 

 

No, but this year they fall on the same dates.

[Phantom-103]

I can't take my Rift off long enough to read anything any way Loving IL*2 in VR!!

[Riderocket]

As they said in the latest DD

 

"More than a half of the work on the IL-2 mod. 1943 flight model is done and the Spitfire flight model is in the works as well. 3D models of the A-20B Boston bomber and the Yak-7b fighter are being built according to the schedule and we just started the work on the P-39L-1"

 

Maybe we will see WIP screenshots of Yak7B or P39 next

 

They started working on the il2s FM a month before that DD so its about 1-2 months to make FM?

 

Can't wait for more Kuban Content!!

[6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann]

Yak-7 looks amazing. Wonder wether a 37mm will come with it as well.

 

Update 2.010 Thursday Next Week? Il-2-43 looks very good. Maybe a Surprise like PTAB and SD-2 Containers?

Yes the 7b looks very good. I have no clue about the PTAB bombs but i don't think we will get the SD-2 bombs. In the last DD they gave away the loadout options of the Hs-129. I'm not sure that will be all, but i highly doubt they will add more later down the road. 

 

It's likely you would be interested in the armament of this aircraft, so here it is:

Two fuselage mounted 7.92mm machine guns MG 17, 1000 rounds per each.

Two fuselage mounted 15mm guns MG 151/15, 250 rounds per each. They can be replaced with 20 mm guns MG 151/20 with the same amount of ammo.

30mm drum-fed gun Mk 101 in the gun pod (30 rounds).

30mm belt-fed gun Mk 103 in the gun pod (80 rounds).

Four 7.92mm machine guns MG 17 in the gun pod, 1000 rounds per each.

Two SC 50 underwing bombs.

Four SC 50 underwing bombs.

SC 250 underbelly bomb.

We really need the PTAB IMHO, but since Han's DD about the IL-2's sight specifically mentioned to procedure for dropping them, I think it'd be strange if we didn't get them.

 

I think 1st or 2nd week of May is a more realistic ETA for 2.010.

Ahh i missed that. Thnx

 

But what do you think about the SD-2's?

They would be locked out of MP servers in the name of balance. Be sure.

[Finkeren]

Not sure why. Unless player tanks bunch together like lambs to the slaughter an IL-2 carrying PTAB can get one (1) tank easily, then it's over.

 

A good Bf 110 pilot can carry bombs to take out a full platoon and still allowing for the majority missing.

[Feathered_IV]

I noticed server admins of two of the biggest venues talking here over the last week, about how they think players progress too rapidly through their objectives and saying they are looking for still more ways to slow people down. 

[6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann]

You are aware of the way they tease us sometimes? Just leaving this:

Still quite a big Tease by 1C Game Studios.

WIP pics of the P-39L today? It's the only one we still haven't seen.

 

I'll also settle for a video of the Kuban map in motion (seen from the cockpit of the Spit Mk. V)

[A-E-Hartmann]

Yes it would be very nice.

Hs 129 also.

[A_radek]

Spitfire cockpit.

 

Suspecting cockpits take longer than externals to create so a few screenshots of that should indicate it's close.

The Spitfire is just over a month away, so my guess is, that the cockpit model has been done for a while. The model has to be in place, before you can create animations and the like.

[Guest deleted@50488]

I'd rather ear about the yaw - roll coupling update, as well as the pitch stability thing for all aircraft, but mostly the 109s....

Honestly, I think they've told pretty much all there is to tell about that. It just remains for us to test it and see what it's like.

[Lusekofte]

A 20, map and HS 129 is the only DD worth waiting for  

[Scojo]

Add a P-39 picture to that and we have a winner

Oops!  But has it been updated already ?  I don't have IL.2 installed lately so, maybe I missed the update :-?

[Finkeren]

No, not at all. There has been no update, but the devs, I think, has given as much info as they can about the modeling of the new rudder forces.

Ah! Roger that.  Let's ait & see then :-)  I am really looking fwd into it.

[7.GShAP/Silas]

My wish is the release of the IL-2M.  It's my most desired aircraft and it's sooooooo close.

[SCG_Space_Ghost]

I live for the DD's of a CFS I don't have the time to enjoy anymore.

 

You wouldn't let let me die undiaried would you, 777? 

[Danziger]

Maybe some info on how the water tech is coming along. Or some video flying on Kuban.

[Luftschiff]

Oh! That'd be a dream, I am so excited to hear more about the water/sea tech. A surprise B&V 138 wouldn't go amiss either, just saying. 

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

I'd like to see some news from the career  

[Finkeren]

I'd like to see some news from the career

Yes pls!

 

I keep forgetting that it's coming, but it's due in just 3-4 months

[dburne]

I'd like to see some news from the career

 

You and me both, very much looking forward to this and hearing more about it.

[szelljr]

Why the DD disappeared,  strange? Who cares the early bird gets the worm.........

:lol: :lol:

No DD. I jumped.

[DD_Arthur]

No DD. I jumped.

 

Oh dear.  Just had a look through Hans posting times for the Dev Diary.  Generally mid-afternoon but we're still within the window.

 

In which case, I'd just like to say;

 

SPITFIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

[Scojo]

 

No DD. I jumped.

And now Ghost is a ghost. He will haunt the devs.
