Beaufighter IF Test by ATAG_Lewis - Beta 4.49

[Mysticpuma]

ATAG_Lewis took the Beaufighter out for a test flight during beta v4.49 as Team Fusion Simulations work through correcting the final bugs before releasing v4.5 on Steam.

This video shows nearly 50-minutes of footage as he takes the beast into the air of IL2 Cliffs of Dover.

 

Couple of points to note. This is beta testing and features are being added and removed (bugs that is) so this video while representative of beta testing is not guaranteed to show everything that will be available on final release.

 

Next, beta testing of the enamy Ai gunners. TFS are currently running varios server missions to test and change the effectiveness of the enemy Ai at different difficulty settings from Rookie to Ace. The Do-17's shown in this footage are before those tweaks were made and are too accurate....although sitting on the six o'clock of five bombers is likely to always be a world of hurt!

Nice video, but this Do-17 gunners still to too "passive" as in actual game, only few erratic shoots fired - the "terminator" gunner of Dornier is the frontal gunner (probable set on ACE in default game).

Thanks to the Beta-tester for submitting his video. 

 

Please note:

 

The cockpit view uses the Beta-Tester's preferences for sitting right at the back of the cockpit and zooming back to the widest view to allow him to see as much of the environment as possible.

 

This gives a slightly fish-eyed perspective. 

 

The actual game cockpit normal views do not show this slight distortion and give a more natural perspective.  Nothing has changed in the game in this way.

We are currently testing various AI settings for the gunners using our server testing to spawn groups of varying Ai difficulty for our beta testers to fight against.

 

This is complicated testing and against varying Ai and aircraft, eg. Defiant, Do-17, He-111, Blenheim, etc, etc. So this is being worked on for v4.5, this was not implemented for Lew's video.
