Developer Diary, Part 141 - Discussion

[Bando]

I think those are supply canisters, not bombs?

[Quax]

Great DD - I will be a nice target in my Ju52 over the Xmas holliday

[Guest deleted@50488]

Han, and 1C/777 surprise us by the positive, always!, almost every week!

 

Great and Good News !

[kestrel79]

Wow amazing update. Basically everything I always dreamed about flying a cargo plane in a flight sim...and more! 

 

Can't wait to see what kind of gameplay online the mission creators can come up with.

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

Ju-52 screen series and Chute Bombs. 

I did not expect Tante Ju to become a Bomber, but you surprised me in a very very pleasant way!

 

capture the Flag games incoming!

 

This Devteam is insane.

Awesome!

The first new plane from Battle of Kuban, the Bf-109 G-4, is almost ready for release.

 

Regarding the Bf109G-4, I'm wondering if the changes mentioned in the DD120 (9. Correct 'jumpy' behavior of Bf 109 F4, G2 and F2 to resemble E7 behavior and check other planes;) will be implemented as the Bf109G-4 is released to early access or at a later date?

[ITAF_Rani]

Devs you are great...good job !!

[SOLIDKREATE]

Great news! I hope day that the troops can actually go in and fight on airfields for take over or participate in ground battles.

[Matt]

Those paratroopers look awesome. I'm very glad i preordered the Ju-52. 

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

I dont think they will be able to go in and fight. Just be stationary targets and if enough of them are close to the enemy airfield it will capture it I think but no actual fighting

[L3Pl4K]

Sounds and looks good, Fallschirmjäger Überraschung

[[CPT]Pike*HarryM]

Yeah, they look cool. I like how they have summer/winter camo also.

[Missionbug]

The Ju-52 is looking excellent, those features will be great in game, thank you very much for the update.

 

Can we have a scripted campaign for this as well please.

 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

THX HAIL TO THE DEVS

The best cuisine of the year

 

 

 

 

The best!! and Dx11 

 

Thx Devs

Hmm... not sure about that.

Taking the airfield for instance may just simply be how many paratroop drops are successfully dropped into the target area over a given time period.

It may be up to an opposing air force to intercept and stop those drops from taking place to change an outcome.

 

It would be nice though to see a ground infantry battle taking place to secure the airfield.

Awesome!

Currently I've already managed to create a map where you capture the airfield just like for tanks, by landing next to the flag. Nobody uses it, but it's available in the MP bucket sharing thread. Will be interesting to what other modes of capture we'll get.

[LLv34_Flanker]

S!

 

 Good news.

[StG2_Manfred]

Sounds and looks pretty cool. Could not resist to preorder Tante Ju.

[Lusekofte]

The JU 52 briefing seems to me is bringing this game up a notch or four. Bringing with it features never seen before. It is a fantastic turn of events for me, being fascinated by this forgotten branch. Many thanks, I really see a opening for more transport planes

[Nil]

I share your feelings LuseKofte, really, we have features "never seen before" that is simply amazing what this team can do.

 

Of course, I see the DC3 family transport aircraft. doing the DC3 family sounds very smart in the way that it will serve for all other sides: Russians (Li2) , United States (C47) and Japanese (L2D) with the bonus of being used even on theaters AFTER word war 2 (like Korea). 

 

Turns out this sim is becoming exceptional in the way that it offers MUCH MORE than the classic ww2 sim.

[Luger1969]

A 2-2.5 times increase in FPS in complex scenes.  All I can say is  salute...thanks.

[StG2_Manfred]

DX 11 in December?

I'm wondering about the same.

[216th_Jordan]

two weeks be sure!

[Nil]

Normally , DX11 will come with Tante Ju before the end of this year.

Like Jordan just said: "Two weeks be sure"!

[Jade_Monkey]

So glad the devs realized that the plane without the game mechanics would not be the same. These mechanics give purpose to the ju52 pilots as well as to their team and the enemy team.

 

Well done!

[Trooper117]

I hope this means there will be other transport types brought into the game... it's only right the soviets get the same game mechanics to enhance their game play too

 

Taking this further, Han answered my post awhile back that the Fw 189 might be possible, that means more game play options for recce missions etc in the future...

I agree. 'One size, fits all'

 

I am looking forward to fly the Tante Ju. Seems to be the right plane for a slow guy like me.  

[Boris_Grishenko]

YESSSS FINALLY!!!, I've been waiting ages for news on the JU-52 3mg! I cannot wait for it to be released! I just hope it's before I leave over seas

[=FI=Blue2]

Another brilliant update - thank you all, Dev team, testers, and others involved.  

 

Super excited about this & the other updates on the horizon.  ~S!

[Nil]

With this picture, we can see the differences in the cockpit between the 3 nationalities dc3, seems quite easy work for our mighty dev team!

(there are the Li2 , C47; L2D made by the Daidalos team for the original IL2)

Looks like I'd better get going again on my Ju52 campaign again - after a few missions I'd put it on ice until I'd knew what features were being implemented.

Well now I know.

 

Good stuff.

[SCG_Space_Ghost]

If they asked me for $20 today and told me I wouldn't see it for six months they'd still be $20 wealthier.

Cant wait to try it!

[Mmaruda]

I am not really that interested in flying the Ju-52, but I'll be damned, if that isn't an awesome addition to the sim. The paratroopers especially - they look cool and the jumping animation also show a lot of promise. Keep up the good work guys!

[Gambit21]

Has to be up to my standard, so will take some time.

On it as we speak though.

[dhillr]

Cargo delivery by Ju-52’s? Ok I'm pre-ordering it now.

[CUJO_1970]

Honestly, I don't even want to fight a war in the Ju52 - I really just want to fly it around because it's just so damned cool.
