Jason_Williams Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 ...or is the Peshka just awesome in terms of looks and firepower? I love flying this thing with summer skins in the summer map testing. Diggin' it! Jason 17
=EXPEND=Dendro Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Now you're just teasing us and showing off!! 1
Mysticpuma Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Well as most of the community don't have it other than the testers.....I guess it's just you
Finkeren Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Best light bomber of the war, especially in summer Litterally can't wait!
LLv24_Zami Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Looks great, can`t wait to get that add on!
Dakpilot Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Well as most of the community don't have it other than the testers.....I guess it's just you Pretty sure that looks like the 87 series which everyone has, Very effective in the divebombing role, surprised to see relatively few people use that method with it, Stable bombing platform with dive brakes out and reasonable speed to make hasty exit from the target area. With more than 11,000 produced and used up until the mid 50's by some Airforces it was a very successful Aircraft Interestingly it was designed as a heavy fighter, and was compromised by a late ordered change in the design process to be used in the divebomber role, the later Pe-3 which was a pure fighter version was compromised with having been developed from the then Bomber version Pe-2 When the new 35 series is introduced maybe the 82 series could include any texture improvements to the cockpit, the most recently released aircraft seem to be on a slightly higher level, I know, I am being very nitpicking Also looking forward to flying it on the summer map, and when available on the Murmansk Map Cheers Dakpilot
6./ZG26_McKvack Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Y u do dis But when the Ju-88 comes... Ju-88 will be awesome. Just like Pe-2
Bert_Foster Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 A BF110 with a working Patin compass bezel would be cooler
Guest deleted@50488 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Jason, a true masters creation, the whole of the IL2 BoS and upcoming BoM tittles. I only regret being only air combat / war oriented ( because I am viscreally against War... ). I use it because I can't reeally give up on using what I consider probably the most advanced flight dynamics I ever experienced in any of my sims, but would really love to see a "Civil" port of the theme, with interesting rescue missions, air taxi transport to difficult areas, aerobatics, air races, fire combat, agricultural operations... or even basic flight training... Maybe one day, who knows.... :-)
Finkeren Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Very effective in the divebombing role, surprised to see relatively few people use that method with it, Stable bombing platform with dive brakes out and reasonable speed to make hasty exit from the target area. I fly the Pe-2 fairly often in MP and even more often in SP (only expert difficulty though - on normal Pe-2 missions are a bore) and I always use it as a divebomber, litterally every single time. It's pretty damn accurate with wonderful cockpit view for that type of attack. I used to practice with it on an empty server where I'd load up with maximum number of 100kg bombs and attack the AAA at the enemy airfield in a series of short dives followed by a zoom climb, a wing-over and a dive back on the next target. All but the lightest AAA was unable to catch me in that flurry of climbs and dives, but usually I was brought down eventually anyway because I made a mistake that forced me to fly straight. I did manage to get all seven guns in one attack once though It's such a wonderful plane on so many levels, really looking forward to see it in its earlier incarnation.
=EXPEND=Capt_Yorkshire Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Phwoor.... shes well fit. now do a video.
71st_AH_Hooves Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Great Aircraft, great picture. Have you seen the TWB PE-2 sortie we did the other night? Pand posted a video up. Edited September 2, 2015 by [TWB]Hooves_McG
unreasonable Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Best light bomber of the war, especially in summer Oh come on, it is a very good plane but inferior to the de Havilland Mosquito in all respects. (They like hot weather too... ) 1
No_85_Gramps Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I suspect the map may not be too far off, Jason never struck me as one to tease...but I could be wrong! Great picture though!
Finkeren Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Oh come on, it is a very good plane but inferior to the de Havilland Mosquito in all respects. (They like hot weather too... ) OK, I give you that. The Mosquito is better in all aspects but defensive armament, dive bombing capabilities and sexyness. I suspect the map may not be too far off, Jason never struck me as one to tease...but I could be wrong! I would say, that you are wrong (about Jason not being a tease, the map definately isn't too far off)
EAF19_Marsh Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Can we maybe get the summer map this week to confirm for ourselves? It is technically Q3...
SYN_Mike77 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 That summer map looks better than RoF summer map. Have the maps been improved from the earlier title jason?
-TBC-AeroAce Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 OK, I give you that. The Mosquito is better in all aspects but defensive armament, dive bombing capabilities and sexyness. I would say, that you are wrong (about Jason not being a tease, the map definately isn't too far off) Whole point of the mossi was to ditch the weight of the defensive armament so it would be fast enough not to need it
Finkeren Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Whole point of the mossi was to ditch the weight of the defensive armament so it would be fast enough not to need itYeah, but just like the Pe-2 it just wasn't fast enough in the end for that to work. By 1942 it was clear the Mossie was never gonna be able to outrun the newest German day fighters. However, fairly high speed combined with fast firing, accurate defensive armament can actually prove quite a predicament for an unwary attacker, as the Pe-2 proved several times early in the war before the Luftwaffe pilots learned to treat it with caution.

-TBC-AeroAce Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Not trying to say your wrong but im sure Iv heard that the mossi was the quickest plane in ww2 at certain points, I think late 42-43
EAF19_Marsh Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah, but just like the Pe-2 it just wasn't fast enough in the end for that to work. By 1942 it was clear the Mossie was never gonna be able to outrun the newest German day fighters. However, fairly high speed combined with fast firing, accurate defensive armament can actually prove quite a predicament for an unwary attacker, as the Pe-2 proved several times early in the war before the Luftwaffe pilots learned to treat it with caution. The point about high-speed is not necessarily that you outrun an aircraft within gun range, but that you get to and from the target rapidly, reducing the time for interceptions and hence probability of being engaged. The Mosquito did this very well and was difficult to intercept; the photo-recon models (admittedly quicker than the bombers) proved extremely difficult to catch by piston-engined aircraft. Can we have the summer map now? 1
1CGS LukeFF Posted September 2, 2015 1CGS Posted September 2, 2015 Now you're just teasing us and showing off!! But, he's right!
Mysticpuma Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Pretty sure that looks like the 87 series which everyone has, Cheers Dakpilot Sorry, was referring to the Summer Map 1
SharpeXB Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 NOOO! My PC is in the shop and I can't take seeing this utter coolness! Take it away!
Livai Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Cannot wait any longer.. ! Must have To Friday? Not that long!
Jason_Williams Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Don't worry guys you have time. Summer/Fall not coming this week. I'm loving how camo takes on a whole new meaning with the new land textures. The new maps aren't "better" than ROFs maps per se. Well maybe a little due to the bump mapping. Summer just looks very dry and hot. Seriously from cold winter to boiling hot summer in BOS/BOM. Here's one more for fun after I began to smoke due to AAA. Jason Nice skin Jason! Is it downloadable? No it's one of the skins I am working on for my new squad. Trying out different ideas. Jason darn it, now I demand a video clip I would but there are still some unfinished bits that we don't want seen at this point. Some of it is still WIP. I just wanted to get you guys thinking about summer and fall. It gives the sim a whole different feel to me. Jason 4
LLv24_Zami Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Believe me Jason, I am thinking about summer and fall. Winter maps are beautifully build in BoS but it will be so refreshing to see green after a long winter
