Ju-52 and Yak-1b Collector Planes Now Available for Pre-Order!

[LLv24_SukkaVR]

Just preordered Ju-52. Cant wait!  Btw do we know what kind of missions we can fly with this bird when its released? Transport cargo? Drop paratroopers?

[YoYo]

Transport cargo? Drop paratroopers?

Yes, it was in announcement.

 

Here example:

Pre-ordered. Just a question, do I get the activation key upon the release? I received a confirmation mail but didn't see any keys.

Your licence keys should - I think - be listed in your profile on the main BoS website (not the forum bit). You have to log in there (same user name and password as for the forum and the game itself).

 

Mine are listed here: http://il2sturmovik.com/store/license-keys/

Ah, there it was. I got BOS from here and BOM from Steam so got a bit confused with the keys. Thanks for the help o7

[Pharoah]

Just purchased. Should be good trying to sneak this bird into Stalingrad with enemy fighters lurking everywhere!

[Haza]

Gents,

 

The month of the JU52 has arrived.

 

Regards

[Nil]

Oh Yes! 

I am still not believing the dev team is making this bird! They are so awesome!!

[Yogiflight]

Could get a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long month for those who wait for it (like me).

[Habu]

Could get a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long month for those who wait for it (like me).

And you're not alone.

[Neil]

Ah!! very long, but in the final, we know we will get a MASTERPIECE of modelling.

Made with attention of detail,

Made with LOVE!

 

Gosh!! this will be the most detailed and realistic ju52 created for a simulator!!!

 

If only I can hug the dev team for that !

Oh yes it will be simply amazing and the kind of missions we will be able to fly thanks to the devs are many! Cant wait to fly it online in formation flying low in bad weather into the Stalingrad pocket

I must have been asleep somewhere.... what kind of missions have been confirmed by the dev's?

[Jade_Monkey]

Paratroopers, some sort of supplies and perhaps more.

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

Droppable supplies, paratroopers have been confirmed by the devs and transport missions are already in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some improvement on that as well but that is only my thought. Med-evac is also possible

[Blooddawn1942]

I would opt for a paid campaign for the Ju 52. Just like the one we are able to pre-order right now for the 109 F-2.

[YoYo]

I would opt for a paid campaign for the Ju 52. 

 

Its a good idea.

 

+1

[Nil]

I would pay as well for the campaign for Tante Ju

 

By the way , anyone noticed that there is no Special Pre Order skin for Tante Ju? (there is one for the Yak)

[Cybermat47]

I believe the Tante Ju preorder skin has yet to be revealed.

[ICDP]

I have been away from BoS for a long time now because to be honest I did not remotely like the direction it had taken.  I was adamant I would not support the sim as long as it was going in a direction I did not want or support.

 

Now that the devs (under Jason) have taken a pretty much 180 and decided that decent SP is actually important I am happy to begin supporting the sim again.  Since Jason's announcement of the direction the sim will take in the future, I have purchased BoM, BoK, the Yak-1b and now the Ju-52.

 

DX11, better performance with multiple AC, VR support, career mode (improved from Rof) and new features.  Bring it on guys and well done.

[Nil]

Welcome back ICDP!

Also invite your friends; we need all the support we get!

[sinned]

Yeah, I also bot Yak 1b, ju 52, bom and bok to give them support and one day, i will see pacific.

[LastRightsXIII]

ICDP....

Makes two of us.

[7.GShAP/Silas]

Is it possible for me to purchase the Ju-52 as a gift for someone?

[BlackSix]

Is it possible for me to purchase the Ju-52 as a gift for someone?

Yes, as for any our products.

[7.GShAP/Silas]

Yes, as for any our products.

 

 

Thank you, picked up two more as gifts.

[Nil]

Hurry up! the pre order for Tante Ju is closing down

Last chance to grab it! (and to get an exclusive skin!)

 

That is why I just bought 1 as a gift.

A total of 3 Tante Ju bought for me.

 

Why? well in case of the Russian shoot 2 of them (which they love to!)

I still have 1 left

[Haza]

Gents,

 

Perhaps a silly question, but I just want clarification that the JU52 will work with BOS, BOM and BOK, so if you only currently have BOS and you purchase the JU52, you should be able to use it in multi-player BOS games!?

I only ask as I wish to gift a JU52 to a player who only owns BOS.  I appreciate that the JU52 was actually used for real at Stalingrad, but just want to make sure from a game point of view that only owning BOS will not limit you from using the JU52

 

Cheers

Yes, you can can use the Ju-52 (and any other collector plane for this matter) in any of the current expansions of IL-2.

[HR_Tumu]

any planes for new future collector planes??

 

How run this iniciative until now? have a good results on sells this collector planes??

 

thx

i saw the little video on the JU-52 on FB this morning. TBH i wished i hadn't. Making the JU52 fly around like a fighter (and seeing it roll like a fighter) gives me doubts about its FM. This is a big 3 engine transport plane, not a Yak 1B. What we should be seeing are straight and level flights in formation dropping cargo and/or paratroopers.

It is a plane with a low stall speed, so sure it can fly like that.

Just try to turn with a He111 or a Ju88 and you will see a similar behavior. except that they have a higher stall speed so they can not turn as tight.

Tante Ju is a slow  but with very maneuverable.

 

I fly for REAL a real aircraft 65Horsepower light plane, (jodel d112)

And I can tell you that I tested how it turns, and believe me it can turns very tight AND it is not a fighter.

 

Fighter have not the monopoly of the maneuverability.

[Blooddawn1942]

But I have to agree Pharaoh somehow, that this kind of flying looks absolutely odd for the Ju-52. Whether she's capable of flying like that or not. I see a Ju-52 in the summer time every Sunday's flying across our region where I live and she is flying very slow and majestic.

There was nothing questionable about how that Ju52 was flying. I'm sure there's more than one Dev that would like to box your ears though.

FM obviously off

 

The Pilots of this WWII DC-4 show how a fly by is done correctly

 

 

note No. 3 and 4 engine feathered in first gentle pass

Crikey and it's not even out yet! Good effort.

It's up to a pilot how he flies an aircraft and Jason chose to show a different side to the aircraft, I doubt any sane person would do those maneuvers that close to the ground in real life for sure but this isn't real life is it.

Don't forget, when it's not loaded it's not a heavy transport aircraft, it has power to spare.

 

My glider has no engine at all but you sure can fling it around the sky

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

The Ju-52 has a high lift wing profile so it's no suprise it's quite manouvreable at speed. Some people expect larger aircrafts to be big lumbering junks of metal barely able to keep themself airborne. That's just not true.

 

Similar discussion about the Ju-87 back in the day when Yak pilots found themself outturned by one and complained "it should be worse because it's a bomber!". Just shows there's litte understanding for aerodynamics.

[Dakpilot]

People forget that Cargo Aircraft and bombers are designed to fly long ranges with a large payload, when empty and with low fuel weight they can have a surprising power to weight ratio

 

When I was doing a rating on a (large) medium twin engine cargo aircraft, the Factory test pilots were practicing a routine for an airshow to promote sales, the routine included a full loop immediately followed by an  engine cut, single engined touch and go with a roll on climbout, engine restart, short circuit and a very short field landing

 

The routine was not approved by civil aviation due to safety and aircraft certification issues, and never took place in public. It was however impressive to see what professional pilots with intimate knowledge of their aircraft limitations could achieve safely

 

There is however another side to this, if one reads about the B-52 (famous video) which crashed at +- 90 degree AoB while practicing for an airshow, the Captain had had multiple safety warnings and many crews  refused to fly with him...there is always a limit, and risk has to be carefully managed/eliminated

 

While the DC-4 in the vid above does not perform a loop, it is nevertheless an impressive wingover

Ever been in a C-130?  Why do you think aircraft designed to thread the needle and do extremely dangerous jobs would be lumbering around?  Read a couple accounts from the siege at Dien Bien Phu if you doubt it so much.
