ITAF_Rani Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 MiG-3 coming soon... That shot of the Macchi over the blurry bridge is really great. Grazie Rani per raccontarci la storia del tuo nonno. Cosa ha fatto nel doppoguerra? Hi sir, after the war, as I wrote before, flew for 46 Aerobrigata ( Pisa)...later was private pilot for Piaggio(Fiat) Company. Best regards
mb339pan Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Hi Dendroaspis His name is Cassio Poggi, born in Feb 1917 in Pisa. Joined Regia Aeronautica during the 30's. Since 1940 was in North Afrika ( here report a link where he fought with his fellows with 13° Gruppo , 78 squadriglia http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/italy_taddia.htm ) with Cr 32, Cr 42 anc Mc 200. He foughts vs Gloster Gladiators, Blenhaim and Hurricanes and escorted SM 79 In 1942 fling Mc 200 was wounded during strafing australian columns in via Balbia( I remember the hole in his leg) In italy he served in the North to patrol aera of Milan and after he served with 24 Gruppo Caccia Autonomo in Sardegna since May to August 1943. There susbstained several fights vs P38's USAF. He was disbanded during 8th September when Italy declared the armistice,he was at Metato ( Lucca) airfield with DW 520. After the war joined new Aeronautica Militare Italiana, and he flew with 4° Stormo caccia: P51, P38,P39, sptfire Mk 9 ( F1) Last one Group was 46ma Aerobrigata di Pisa on C119 Firechild and performed mission in Congo and was colleague of all pilots they lost their lives in Congo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindu_atrocity). He flew back the remains in Italy of these poor pilots His logbook declare shot down 1 gloster , 1 Hurricane and 1 P 38 and 1 blenheim in collaboration Regards grande storia, rispetto!
CF-105 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 ...but with almost twice the rate of fire and higher muzzle velocity. I have no doubt, that the Macchis armament will be enough, but its greatest asset will be the time of continuous fire. If we have the option to load only HE, muzzle velocity becomes something only useful for aiming. But 2 12.7s with just over half the fire rate is still better than one UBS in rate of fire.
Matt Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 With the 20 mm cannons, the MC.202 will have one of the most powerful armaments and it shouldn't really have performance issues with those guns attached, at least not against any of the Soviet BoM planes. So i wouldn't be too worried about its armament.
Zettman Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 With the 20 mm cannons, the MC.202 will have one of the most powerful armaments and it shouldn't really have performance issues with those guns attached, at least not against any of the Soviet BoM planes. So i wouldn't be too worried about its armament. Is it confirmed that it will be able to field 2x20mm cannons? If so it will indeed be a dangerous opponent, considering that 2x12.7mm machine guns and 2x20mm cannons is even more than the Fw190 in its standard layout has. Does anyone know haw many rounds per cannon the MC.202 could carry? Zettman

Does anyone know haw many rounds per cannon the MC.202 could carry? Zettman Since I can't edit theirs anymore, here is what I found out on a quick look at wiki. Wiki says that one MC.202 was equipped with 2xMG151/20s (200 rounds each) for testing purposes. It flew on 12 May 1943. Later 4 other were equipped the same way, but the hit on performance was noticeable. Which lead to the MC.205 that had 2x12.7mm and 2x20mm cannons as standard. Interestingly now with 250 rounds per cannon. So they upped the ammunition a bit, if wiki can be trusted. Do we have source that these versions might have seen combat? Zettman
Nil Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Looks so damn good! I hope it will not be underpowered in the armament department (as 'original' IL2 version was)(I still haven't got rid of my panic anxiety attack just thinking about putting my Track-IR5 hat on, so I'm not up to date with the current versions of the sim) One of the best looking planes ever!Are you going DX12 any day soon? Going to clean install win 10 this week, as I have too much old win 7 stuff under the win 10 hood right now.

What did they say when the summermaps debut? Are you going DX12 any day soon? haaha..... Not gonna happen. I believe. However id be glad to be prooven wrong here.

Kling Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Little Darlin', it's been a long cold lonely winter... Is it just me, or that smoke trail has been re-worked? Which one of them? The one behind the JU52 is waaay waaay too thick... But one can hope that it will be looked upon! Edited August 10, 2015 by Kling
150GCT_Pag Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Only one C202 (MM91974 - serie XIII) was experimentally fitted with two Mauser MG151/20 20mm gunpack under the wings, but this modification degrade the aircraft performance and was not suitable of further development. No one C.202 saw action with 20mm on wings.
Brano Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Breda SAFAT 12.7mm uses shorter case (12.7x81mm) comparing to US M2 Browning (12.7x99mm) or soviet UB (12.7x108mm) and thus is much less efficient (comparing its muzzle energy Breda ~10kJ vs Browning ~16kJ)
Livai Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Is it just me, or that smoke trail has been re-worked? The Smoke trail look much better for my eyes. But I notice the engine fire is much better, too.
keeno Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I know to some it may look a bit "Hollywood" but if that smoke/fire has been reworked, I think it looks great and a change for the better. Can't wait for the summer map too! Cheers Edited August 10, 2015 by keeno
Falco_Peregrinus Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Amazing, can't wait to fly the 202! What a beauty. The 2 x 12,7mm Bredas will be enough I am sure. Already in Il-2 Cliffs of Dover, the 2 x 12,7mm on the G.50s are powerful and effective, and being centered on the main axis they're a good weapon platform. Of course, it's not like having a good 20mm between your legs, but still... 1
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I think the smoke near the engine can be inky black, oily and thick as long as it dissipates in the slipstream fairly quickly.
DD_Arthur Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Amazing, can't wait to fly the 202! What a beauty. Yep. Looks good and tomorrow we get to try it! http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/17652-master-server-maintenance-august-11th/?do=findComment&comment=277849

Freycinet Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Hi sir, after the war, as I wrote before, flew for 46 Aerobrigata ( Pisa)...later was private pilot for Piaggio(Fiat) Company. Best regards Yes, I meant after his military career. Good to hear he could keep flying with Piaggio. Sounds like he was never meant to stay on the ground! A nonno to be proud of.

Guest deleted@50488 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately, it's not only ( actually by far, IL2 BoS being an excellent positive example ... ) the graphics platform that makes a flight simulator... With it's DX9.0c for graphics BoS is still way ahead of the competition in terms of rendering, immersion, and, IMO, flight dynamics too, in as far as a ww2 flight and combat simulation go.

Juri_JS Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Wouldn't 64bit support be much more important for a CPU hungry sim like BoS?
216th_Jordan Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Wouldn't 64bit support be much more important for a CPU hungry sim like BoS? This. This. this. The least PCs are still using 32 bit operating systems.
Guest deleted@50488 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Wouldn't 64bit support be much more important for a CPU hungry sim like BoS? Yes, IMO, although angry as it is, it still runs smooth as silk on my old i5 2500 @ 3,3GHz... The Geeforce GTX 960 4GB card did make a difference though... OTOH, the most sophisticated flight simulator I use is 32 or 64 bit, but I usually run it 32, because that's the JAVA version in my system. There is lot's of room in 32 bit, provided the apps are coded by good programmers... Edited August 11, 2015 by jcomm

No601_Prangster Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Build a mission with 40 AI planes and you will see the limits of 32bit in BoS. The limiting factor for the number of AI aircraft is the processing power needed to handle the FM calculation's. Converting the game 64bit won't speed up your processor it only gives you access to more memory. 1

Converting the game 64bit won't speed up your processor it only gives you access to more memory. Sort of. 64bit CPUs can also process 64bits rather than 32bits in a single run because the 64bit CPU can process 64bit instructions rather than the typical 32bit instructions. A 64bit CPU is obviously faster at processing 32bit data than a 32bit CPU, but being able to process 64bit instructions should, theoretically, be faster and process more than 32bit instructions.
